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.
