UNSW
UNSW Sydney is a powerhouse of cutting-edge research, teaching and innovation. UNSW is one of the top 50 universities in the world, with more than 59,000 students and a 7,000-strong research community. Located in Sydney, Australia’s largest city, the University was established in 1949 with a unique focus on the scientific, technological and professional disciplines. Ranked 43rd in 2020 on QS World University Rankings, UNSW is globally recognised for its educational quality and research, not only within Australia, but worldwide.
Ever since UAC’s inaugural conference in 2019, UNSW has continued to be one of our key partners and strongest advocates. It is a top-choice university for students from South-East Asia and beyond, unlocking potential and opening doors to greater opportunities for its global network of alumni.
At last year’s event, we were fortunate enough to have some of UNSW’s incredible researchers and professors from a multitude of disciples come together to speak on topics ranging from ASEAN politics to economics and socio-cultural issues. In 2020, we are grateful for the support and participation of some of UNSW’s esteemed educators, such as Scientia Prof. Guy Marks and Associate Dean UNSW Law Melissa Crouch.
