The University of New South Wales (UNSW)

QS#20AUS#2
Sydney, New South Wales

The University of New South Wales was founded in 1949 with a focus on scientific, technological and professional disciplines. The university rebranded later in 1958 and welcomed a broader scope of disciplines. Today, it is a household Australian institution thanks to its contribution to society, and success in research and education in the fields of study offered there. You may have heard of the UNSW's Faculty of Law, which is now one of the most prestigious law schools in the world, and that is widely thanks to the institution's credentials.
