Kensington Campus

UNSW is divided into 9 faculties, in addition to the Graduate Research School. Each faculty is independently responsible for the administration of programs they offer. You can contact the faculties directly to discuss your individual program or to learn more about a particular area of study.

UNSW is a real community. It’s close to the beach and there are so many amenities available either on campus or just a short walk away.
