Equity Diversity & Inclusion

UNSW Science promotes innovation, productivity and progress and everyone is treated equally at our campus. 

The UNSW School of Physics provides a safe, supportive and welcoming environment for all students regardless of their race, sex, age, religion, disability, sexual orientation or gender identification. Our school supports the UNSW's Equity Diversity & Inclusion Policy and has established an Equity Diversity & Inclusion Committee that manages these issues and ensures we provide a comfortable and safe educational environment for all staff and students.
