The ANU College of Asia and the Pacific (CAP) is a distinctive community of multi-disciplinary, area and public policy-based academics, professionals and technical experts dedicated to research, education and engagement in the world’s most dynamic region.
Through its work, the College has played a critical role in advancing Australia’s engagement and understanding of the Asia-Pacific region, establishing the Australian National University as a global centre of excellence for research, teaching and impact in the region.
The College consists of four research schools and is home to a range of regional and thematic institutes and centres that support research, education, and outreach activities. We offer the largest range of Asian languages in the country and represent the largest concentration of Asia-Pacific researchers in the English-speaking world. Our specialists play a vital role in informing public policy and shaping Australia’s intellectual engagement with the societies, cultures and economies of Asia and the Pacific.
