Presented by ANU College of Arts & Social Sciences and ANU College of Asia & the Pacific
An opportunity for high school (years 9-12) students to visit Australia's #1 university for modern languages*
Bring along your students to experience learning languages at ANU.
This event gives high school students from the ACT the opportunity to come onto campus to get an engaging, interactive and first-hand taste of University language studies.
The day will feature both short presentations from our leading experts in languages and interactive language activities. The full breadth of languages available at ANU including Asian, Modern European, Ancient, and Middle Eastern languages will be showcased. There will be a student exchange panel, and some contextual mini lectures on topical issues related to the regions of focus. Our language students and clubs will also be there to speak first-hand about studying a language at ANU. Lunch will also be provided.
Registrations are essential. Please register your school's intention to attend this event by contacting CASS Marketing.
