Campus experience
Our UNSW Kensington campus has the convenience of a self-contained “mini-city” – with cafes, food outlets, banks, a post office, medical and dental centres, a pharmacy and a newsagency. The UNSW Religious Centre, where most faiths are represented, is for all students and staff at the University.

Mentoring & support services
UNSW Engineering has a mentoring program to help all new students adapt to University life. It’s an excellent way to find support and establish friendships and networks during the early weeks of your first year.
Various other UNSW student services also offer programs and workshops. Our UNSW Counselling Services can help you through this period of adjustment if you feel you need the support of one-on-one counselling.
Academic Skills Support offers academic support to all UNSW students. All programs are free and consultations are confidential.
