Best uni

I love it so far. As an international student, I would highly recommend it. Tutors and other students are friendly and welcoming. Also, it is the highest ranked in business in Australia and the world.

A good place to work and develop a career

Lecturer (Current Employee) - Kensington NSW - 24 May 2023

UNSW prides itself on a respectful culture, embracing diversity and driving innovation. I think it "walks the talk" more than other Group of Eight universities. I definitely think it has the edge on innovation compared to others and its HR recruitment and onboarding is better than most.

Work Environment and Culture

Tutor (Current Employee) - Rosebery NSW - 24 May 2023

The work environment at UNSW is vibrant and intellectually stimulating. The campus is modern and well-maintained, providing a conducive atmosphere for learning and collaboration. The university encourages diversity and inclusivity, and I have always felt respected and supported by my colleagues and superiors. There are numerous opportunities for professional development, workshops, and seminars, which further enhance the work culture.

Great university

Student (Current Employee) - Kensington NSW - 21 September 2022

In fact, I am just a student, but I have gained a lot at UNSW. The school system is efficient and the facilities are well equipped. Although there is pressure to study, the atmosphere is relatively relaxed and the teachers are friendly and professional.

It's a great University

Student (Current Employee) - Sydney, NSW - 11 June 2022

There are great teachers and not so great teachers. Throughout my 2 years of studying at UNSW, I've only had a few good teachers, but I think this is most likely due to the fact that these teachers haven't fully adapted to the online lectures that are forced upon them due to the pandemic.

Pros

High education

Cons

Stressful
