EnglishWhat Study Options Are Available at RegNet?
Updated
RegNet — the School of Regulation and Global Governance at ANU — lists three study pathways on its website: postgraduate study, doctoral study, and professional education. If you are considering a degree, a research doctorate, or short-form professional learning in regulation and governance, these are the three entry points to check. Specific programs, entry requirements, and application details sit on the individual pages behind each pathway rather than on the landing page.
The three study pathways
| Pathway | Who it suits | What the site indicates |
|---|---|---|
| Postgraduate study | Students seeking a taught or coursework qualification | Listed under "Study with us" as a distinct option |
| Doctoral study | Researchers pursuing a PhD or equivalent research degree | Listed separately, reflecting RegNet's research-intensive identity |
| Professional education | Practitioners and professionals seeking non-degree training | Offered alongside the degree pathways |
The separation of doctoral study from postgraduate study is worth noting: RegNet presents research training as its own track rather than folding it into general postgraduate offerings. If your goal is a research career, go straight to the doctoral page rather than the postgraduate one.
What shapes the curriculum
RegNet describes its research community as "a network of scholars and practitioners" addressing climate change, conflict and injustice, disruptive technologies, economic and health inequality, and geopolitical contestation. It states that its approach is "profoundly interdisciplinary."
That matters for choosing a pathway. A school organised around problem areas rather than single disciplines tends to suit students who want to work across law, policy, sociology, or international relations rather than within one of them. If you prefer a tightly disciplinary program, this framing is a signal to look closely at the actual course structure before applying.
How to decide which pathway fits
- You want a qualification that leads to policy or regulatory practice → start with postgraduate study.
- You want to produce original research and join an academic network → start with doctoral study.
- You are already working and want targeted skills without a full degree → start with professional education.
Each of these sits under the "Study with us" section of the RegNet site, and each links to its own page with the detail the landing page does not carry.
What the landing page does not tell you
The RegNet homepage does not list specific degrees, course codes, fees, duration, admission deadlines, or delivery modes. It also gives no indication of cost or whether any program is free — nothing in the available material supports an assumption either way. To get those answers you need to open the individual study pages, and for anything binding, contact the school or ANU admissions directly.
A practical next step
Open the "Study with us" section and read the three pathway pages in sequence. Note which one matches your goal, then check that page for program names, structure, and entry requirements. If a detail you need — fees, deadlines, prerequisites — is not stated there, treat it as unresolved and ask RegNet or ANU directly rather than inferring it.
