Since our foundation in 1949, UNSW Sydney has made an ongoing commitment to improve and transform lives in Australia and globally.

The essence of UNSW Sydney is not found in our impressive facilities or beautiful grounds. It is found in our students, our staff, our alumni and our generous donors. Our collective difference reflects the unique perspectives of our people, place and purpose as we play our part in the creation of a just society.

Our guiding motto, Scientia Corde Manu et Mente -- Knowledge by Heart, Hand and Mind -- embodies our commitment to embrace diversity of thought, integrity, innovation, and our deep connections with the community.
