The University of New South Wales was funded in 1949 and celebrated its first international student in 1950, its first female graduate in 1952, and Australia’s first Indigenous law graduate in 1976 — to name just a few. The University has since been shaped by the addition of new schools, centres and institutes, by changes to the physical campus and strategic planning processes. Today UNSW is building a legacy of transformative and positive impact.

With more than 300 undergraduate or postgraduate courses to choose from in faculties of art, design and architecture, Business, Engineering, law, medicine, science and postgraduate research.

For students who want to study for a bachelor’s degree but have missed out on direct entry because they haven’t finished high school, their qualifications are not recognised, they have not met the entry criteria, or they need some additional English tuition, University of New South Wales offers pathway programs to make sure everyone has the opportunity to study.

Across all their campus locations, the University of New South Wales embraces a strong sense of community and inclusion with a commitment to ongoing sustainability. UNSW is at the heart of the sophisticated global knowledge system that is shaping our future. Since their founding in 1949, they have strived to create and share critical knowledge for the benefit of society, with lasting impact. The strategies developed and implemented throughout the University strengthen their ability to achieve these goals now and in the future.
