The UNSW Women in Engineering programs and events have been designed to build a strong community of women, non-binary and gender diverse engineering students. It is an amazing environment where you will meet life-long friends and make so many valuable connections!

The Women in Engineering Student Society (WIESoc) runs a highly sought-after Industry Mentoring Program, providing students with the opportunity to connect directly with industry representatives through one-on-one mentorship. The program officially runs from April to October where industry mentors interact with mentees to provide students with deeper insights into their respective companies and professional environments.

The Industry Mentoring Program is Australian Higher Education Graduation Statement (AHEGS) approved. In order to receive the AHEGS accreditation, mentees must attend at least five monthly meetings with their mentor (5 hours), attend all relevant workshops, ceremonies and checkpoint events (12 hours) and complete reflections after each event (3 hours).

For further information on WIESoc's Industry Mentoring Program, please contact the WIESoc team.

There are several student groups at UNSW affiliated with the Women in Engineering and Women in STEM communities. Student societies are a great way to get involved in student life at UNSW and meet new friends who share similar interests.

It can sometimes be a little overwhelming to find the right support when you are going through a challenging time. We have compiled a list of some of the key UNSW Support Services so that you can easily find the appropriate service when you need to.
