  Celebrating 60 years of extraordinary achievement
 
In 2009, UNSW celebrates sixty years as one of Australia's foremost international research intensive universities and as the university of choice for over 190,000 graduates.

The University's founding motto of 'knowledge: with hand and mind' is at the core of today's dynamic, contemporary institution. UNSW's drive for innovation and excellence remain the cornerstone of its world class ranking and reputation.

Many UNSW graduates have become leaders in government, business, research and industry and our graduates enjoy the highest median starting salaries in Australia*.

Since inception, UNSW has worked closely with the professions to develop quality curricula in healthcare, engineering, science, law, business, architecture and the arts and social sciences. UNSW addresses contemporary and social issues through its key research priorities to build a strong foundation for a better future.

Environmental sustainability underpins many of our activities and for many years UNSW has been a world leader in the areas of water use and re-use, climate change and solar cell technology. We strive to be a highly valued leader in community engagement, demonstrated by an extraordinary array of projects ranging from the Kingsford Legal Centre to the Ocular Imaging Centre (sponsored by Guide Dogs NSW/ACT).

UNSW is a workplace of choice for leading academic, research and professional staff. We aim to attract the best students and to provide national and international opportunities for our graduates as global citizens of high standard. The recognition and support achieved by UNSW in the wider community has also resulted in significant grants from government and industry, and private donations to fund the development of world leading facilities and equipment.

In today's professional environment, all graduates benefit from a global outlook. A degree from UNSW is recognised worldwide and, through one of Australia's largest international exchange programs, we offer opportunities for study in Asia, North America and Europe. As one of Australia's foremost international universities, UNSW has a wonderful mix of energy, achievement and vision.

At UNSW we pay tribute to the dedication and commitment of our outstanding staff and students responsible for sixty years of exceptional vision and extraordinary achievement.
