The University of New South Wales (UNSW) is one of the leading teaching and research universities in Australia.
The University also enjoys the reputation of Australia's leading international university with the largest on-campus enrolment of international students and over 200 sister university partnerships around the world.
UNSW is one of Australia's leading research universities and is home to a number of internationally recognised research developments in the fields of Quantum Computing, Photovoltaics, HIV Aids Research, Interactive Cinema and Polymer Chemistry.
Located in the eastern suburbs of Sydney, the University of New South Wales is located near the business hub of Australia's largest city, providing easy access to a wide range of academic, cultural and social activities.
After fifty years of dynamic growth the University tradition is one of sustained innovation, a blend of scholarship and practical realism. Its tone is lively and informal, its atmosphere exciting and happy. It offers the widest range of Faculties, its initial emphasis on science and technology now sharing excellence with disciplines as various as Arts, Fine Arts, the Built Environment, Commerce, Law, Life Sciences, Medicine, Management - that whole world of knowledge whose investigation and communication was its initial stimulus.
"UNSW A Portrait" by Professor Patrick O'Farrell, covers the first fifty years of UNSW's history, and is the basis for this web site entry.
