The Co-curricular and service requirement (CCS) is a mandatory section of the Australian National University (ANU) application that will ask you to demonstrate your involvement in activities outside the classroom during Years 10 to 12.

Your co-curricular and service requirement (CCS) activities need to demonstrate at least two of the following skill groups:

Inclusion and awareness of diversity

Leadership

D. Statement of Purpose (SOP)
It is a crucial part of the application in which students describe their interest in the chosen field of study, their activities and their future plans. Especially in competitive courses like STEM where several students may be competing for admissions to limited seats, the SOP provides valuable insights into the students’ thought process and motivations. While evaluating good students with strong academic performance and comparative GPA, the SOP provides a good way to differentiate between them.
It needs to be unique, explaining their experiences, aspirations, motivation for studying a particular course and a short narrative of their lives beyond academics. SOP for Australian universities like ANU are majorly focused on the field of study. The students need to show enthusiasm in their chosen course and how they can make a revolutionary transformation in that subject/area.
