Hi everyone and welcome to UNSW Sydney,
one of the top universities in the world and the place I've called home for the past three years.
My name's Helen and today I'm going to be giving you the ultimate tour
of our amazing campus. We're going to see learning spaces, accommodation,
food, sport and a whole lot of fun - so let's get into it!
Now, UNSW could honestly be the best location for a university in the world,
and of course we acknowledge the Bedegal people,
the traditional owners of the beautiful land that our Kensington campus stands on.
We're just two kilometres from Coogee Beach, which you can walk to during a study break,
and we've got light rail stops at the top and bottom of our campus
connecting you to the very best places that Sydney has to offer.
Maybe you want to pop down to Circular Quay for lunch at the Opera House or the Harbour Bridge.
Maybe you've got an internship or a job in the CBD.
Or maybe you're heading to watch a game at one of the country's best
sporting stadiums - it's all within one short ride on the light rail.
But the truth is as easy as it is to explore Sydney right from the doorstep of UNSW,
once you're on campus you may never want to leave - and you won't need to. We have
our own grocery store, medical centre, dentist and post office.
We've got over 30 food and drink retail outlets ranging from delicious noodles,
sushi, pasta, salads, all the way to some of the most insane milkshakes you've ever seen.
Plus there's plenty of cafes with coffee, coffee and more coffee!
But before we tackle any of that, you've got to make sure that you look the part by
stopping in at the Bookshop or the Grad Shop to grab some of that UNSW merch.
There really is just so much fun to be had at UNSW. Arc is the home of student life here,
where you can join some of the over 300 societies covering basically anything you can think of.
Got a passion for dancing?Great. Skiing? Easy.
Quidditch? No problem. UNSW is truly the place where you can find your people.
Now if being active is your thing you've come to
the right uni. Our new Village Green has a synthetic multi-purpose pitch,
bouldering wall, running track, outdoor gym, grandstand and basketball courts.
At our Fitness and Aquatic Center you can work out,
go for a swim, do some yoga, play a bit of badminton, squash, or... more basketball!
Plus we've got outdoor exercise equipment and our renowned Basser Steps to keep you moving. UNSW is
actually so big that we have our own postcode, so don't be afraid to get out there and go exploring.
We even have our own concert venue right here on campus - The Roundhouse! There's
been bands such as the Foo Fighters, Jack Harlow, and Green Day play over the years.
If all this sounds so good that you really do never want to leave,
living on campus in our student accommodation options could be
for you. You could choose one of our colleges for a real community lifestyle
where you're living with like-minded UNSW students and sharing your social calendar.
Or if you're a bit more independent, maybe you can
choose one of our apartments where there are studios and flat shares available.
Now, despite all the fun that you can have on our campus, there is another reason why we're
one of the top universities in the world - and that's because of our outstanding education.
UNSW has seven faculties filled with world-leading educators, researchers and students.
Law & Justice is a global leader in law and criminology, committed to making
a difference. Facilities like the Moot Court and our very own Law Library help
to ensure that students gain the practical experiences needed to enter the workforce.
UNSW Business School has a dynamic learning environment designed to
equip students with the skills to thrive in an ever-changing world.
And AGSM, the Australian Graduate School of Management, has its own building at the top
of campus offering world-class MBA programs preparing a new generation of leaders.
Medicine & Health is a collaborative community where you'll study alongside practitioners,
academics and educators in world-class health precincts.
UNSW science focuses on providing the optimal balance between theory and practical work,
giving you a well-rounded exposure to science.
In Engineering you'll be hands-on,
problem solving and collaborating from day one. You'll be taken out of the classroom
into real engineering settings where you can put your learning to the test.
Arts, Design & Architecture fosters curious problem solvers full of creative confidence.
Spread across multiple buildings around campus the innovative
spaces inspire students creativity and allow for tonnes of hands-on learning.
We even have our own dedicated campus for Art & Design in Paddington.
And finally, we have UNSW Canberra, at a campus in our nation's capital city. Here,
officers from the Australian Defence Force Academy
combine a UNSW degree with their military and leadership training.
If you're after a place to study and do some of your coursework,
our main library has seven levels of study space filled with desks,
study rooms, computers and of course a couple of sleeping pods for some much needed breaks.
Plus there is an enormous amount of study spaces spread throughout the
campus. We've got booths and tables and couches and my favourite - hammocks! This
is where I like to make the most of the free Wi-Fi across campus.
But university life isn't always easy and luckily there are a tonne
of services to help you out during your time here.
The nucleus Student Hub is located at the entrance of the library and is your one-stop
shop for student services at UNSW. They can help you with questions about enrolment,
fees or anything else about student life. And if they don't know the answer,
they'll be able to connect you to someone who does.
If you've got a bit of an entrepreneurial spirit you don't have to wait until you
finish uni to explore your ideas. With programs like UNSW Founders and
facilities like the Michael Crouch Innovation Centre and various makerspaces across campus,
you can start honing those entrepreneurial skills today.
Alright, let's breathe - it's been a big journey exploring what our uni has
to offer. And the thing is, what you've been seeing is just the tip of the UNSW iceberg,
there's so much that we haven't even gone into.
We've got other campuses in Sydney's CBD and rural New South Wales,
we've got centres and offices in countries around the globe,
even a revolutionary health precinct being built right up the road on our Kensington campus.
There is literally too much to explain in just one video,
but you can rest assured knowing that when you come to UNSW you have a world of opportunity
at your fingertips through our extraordinary facilities and truly supportive community.
