  ANU is regarded as one of the world's leading research universities and one of the most selective institutions of higher learning in the world. It is ranked first in Australia and the whole of Oceania, 24th in the world by the 2019 QS World University Rankings, and 49th in the world by the 2019 Times Higher Education.
