Preparing to begin your journey at ANU?
Let us help you get ready!
Since 2022, ANU China Liaison Office has been supporting students and their families through Pre-Departure Briefing (PDB) providing practical information and guidance on everything from travel preparations arrival arrangements, accommodation, campus life, student support services, internships and career opportunities.
Building on four years of experience, we are introducing an upgraded and more flexible format for 2026, combining an online information session with personalized one-on-one consultations. This event is designed to help students and families feel informed, confident and connected before arriving in Canberra.
1. Online Information Session
During the online session, we will introduce the unique ANU student experience and provide practical guidance on preparing for departure, arriving in Australia, essential information for students, and student support and career development services. This session will also feature an interactive Q&A, giving students and families the opportunity to raise questions directly with us.
Participants will also receive a digital ANU Pre-departure Guide, this guide is designed to help students become familiar with ANU and prepare for their new life in Australia.
2. Personalized One-on-one Consultations
To provide more tailored support, we will offer individual consultations in both online and in-person formats. Students and families will have the opportunity to discuss their individual questions and receive personalized guidance based on their needs, helping them feel more prepared for their transition to ANU.
