Meet 13-year-old Nathanael Koh, an Honours student at the ANU School of Music
Head of ANU School of Music Professor Kim Cunio, 13-year-old honours student Nathanael Koh and his father Chris.
Friday 26 May 2023

Nathanael Koh, a Singaporean-born prodigy, has been making waves at the Australian National University (ANU), where he began his university studies at the tender age of 13. Known for his exceptional academic abilities, Nathanael is currently pursuing an honors degree in music composition at ANU, making him the youngest student ever to enter the prestigious institution.

In a remarkable journey that led him from the vibrant city-state of Singapore to the chilly capital of Australia, Nathanael's family made the life-altering decision to relocate to Canberra to support his educational aspirations. Recognizing his extraordinary talent, they uprooted their lives to ensure that he had the opportunity to study under renowned music scholar, Kim Cunio, who heads the ANU School of Music.

Kim Cunio, impressed by Nathanael's exceptional abilities, acknowledged him as the youngest student in the history of ANU. With his remarkable progress, Nathanael is now setting his sights on an even greater academic milestone—a Ph.D., which he intends to pursue starting next year. If successful, he will continue to break barriers and cement his place as an exceptional young scholar.
