International Students

Careers Service staff extend a warm welcome to all international students studying at ANU.

The Careers Centre offers advice, information and support to local and international students preparing for work. All services are available to international students, except the Australian-based Graduate Recruitment Programs, for which permanent residency/citizenship is a requirement.

International students can use Careers Centre services from first year onwards to find out what international employers are looking for in graduates. The Centre can also give advice on how to find a part-time job or volunteer work while studying. In addition to advising students on how to prepare effective job applications, the Centre also assists with interview preparation.

ANU also has CareerHub, a gateway to job vacancies and career related information for exclusive use of current students and recent graduates. International students should register on CareerHub as soon as possible to access job advertisements, workshop information and useful career articles and links.
