One-on-one consultations with professional statisticians at the SCU are free of charge. We are committed to giving you the best advice for your experimental or survey design, data collection instruments, your data analysis, and statistical software. You can request a consultation from the website. The best time to come is at the beginning of your research project.

Profile your research

The central admissions and recruitment team are calling on all PhD students to register their interest in being profiled for an up and coming ANU higher degree research publication. Profiles may also be showcased on the ANU website. This is a great opportunity to highlight your current research to external audiences and share your successes with others. If you are interested in being profiled, please contact Jessica Croker for further information.
