I’ve also made so many new friends with similar interests to myself. “I chose to enrol in a double degree with Law. The double degree option gives me the flexibility to explore Australia’s legal system, and develop my understanding of Australia’s security and strategic environment. The degrees complement and relate to each other really nicely. Plus, having that extra qualification will open up more doors for me in the future. “One day I hope to represent Australia and its interests overseas. The skills I’ve developed here and the practical experience that I have gained will no doubt stand my peers and I in good stead when we leave University and start applying for jobs. I’m looking forward to the next three years and the challenges and opportunities they will offer.”

Rosalind Moran Bachelor of Philosophy (Arts)/Diploma of Languages “The decision to enter the PhB program at the ANU was an obvious one for me. I wished to pursue a challenging course of study which recognised high-achieving humanities students and allowed them to explore their interests across a wide range of fields. My own study program has been varied and unconventional, and I wouldn’t change it. While at the ANU, I have had the opportunity to study literature and languages in depth without ever feeling I was choosing an easy route paved with stereotypically ‘soft’ subjects. The PhB requires students to design a portion of their own courses and this enabled me to work with academics and complete research projects within areas which particularly interested me. I researched a relatively forgotten Australian author for one project, for example, and wrote a 6000 word French essay on philosophy for another. Moreover, I have had the chance to study several languages at the ANU, both having fun with French and learning Portuguese thanks to the PhB’s structure allowing extra room for electives. I additionally undertook a Diploma of Languages in Mandarin. The ANU School of Literature, Languages and Linguistics has been a wonderful source of inspiration and support for me during my time at university. Lecturers are passionate about their subjects and committed to their students. Studying within the department also led to opportunities such as an internship at the Brazilian embassy in Canberra; a summer exchange to Beijing, enabled by scholarship funding; and a nine-month exchange to the National Taiwan University, also facilitated by scholarship funding. These experiences were invaluable to my linguistic, academic, and personal growth. I would be a different person had I not been granted the opportunities presented to me by this faculty and its staff.”
