Our Story

University Of New South Wales (UNSW)

DESCRIPTION

About

The need for a university in Sydney became apparent after World War II, with the increasing demand for specially trained workers in engineering and technology related fields.

UNSW was established in 1949 as the New South Wales University of Technology by the Act of Parliament of New South Wales. However, its tradition can be traced back to the 1843 Sydney Mechanics Institute, and the 1878 Sydney Technical College.

In March 1952, the first graduation ceremony was held, with 57 Bachelors of Engineer and Bachelors of Science being awarded.

In 1958, the name was changed to the University of New South Wales, as the university expanded from solely-technology based subjects, to a wider variety of general courses, including the faculties of Arts and Medicine during the 1960s, and Law in 1971.
