The University of New South Wales

The University of New South Wales (UNSW) is a world-class public research university in Sydney, Australia, founded in 1949. Over time it has expanded well beyond its origins in technology and engineering to encompass a rich diversity of fields including medicine, law, arts & design, business, science, and health. UNSW is known both for its strong research output and its dedication to real-world impact: researchers there work on clean energy, sustainable built environments, artificial intelligence, precision medicine, equity and social policy, among many other areas. It consistently ranks highly in global measures of both academic excellence and societal impact, particularly in relation to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The university invests heavily in infrastructure and in attracting top academic and technical staff and higher-degree-by-research candidates, fostering innovation through collaborations with industry, government, and communities. UNSW places great importance on combining theory and practice, and on preparing its graduates to be global citizens capable of contributing solutions to major challenges like climate change, inequality, and health crises. With a diverse student body and an international reputation, UNSW is regarded as one of Australia’s leading universities and an institution with growing global influence.
