History
The Australian National University (ANU) is unique among its contemporaries as the only Australian university established by an Act of Federal Parliament, in 1946.

The University was established to be of enduring significance in the post-war life of the nation -- to support the development of national unity and identity, to improve Australia's understanding of itself and its neighbors, and to contribute to economic development and social cohesion. Its mandate was to undertake "postgraduate research and study both generally and in relation to subjects of national importance". This national mission gives ANU a distinctive relationship with the Australian Federal Government.

ANU was founded around four initial research institutes in physics, medicine, social sciences and Pacific studies and was the country's only full-time research university. Since then there have been many progressive additions to the University's range of activities, including a significant expansion in 1960 to take on undergraduate students.
