Culture of innovation

We believe innovation is a way of thinking and that everyone has the potential to change things for the better.

UNSW’s Michael Crouch Innovation Centre (MCIC) is our innovation hub. It’s a space where students from all faculties can design, experiment and get hands-on experience. Through guidance from visionaries and corporate partners facilitated by the UNSW Innovations team, this is where our students turn their ideas into commercial reality.

Connected globally

We’re connected to over 200 partner universities in 39 countries. Our network creates a global learning environment and diverse on-campus community. We’re a member of the Group of Eight (Go8) in Australia, the Association of Pacific Rim Universities (APRU), Universitas 21 (U21), and were the only Australian university selected to join the Global Alliance of Technological Universities (GlobalTech).
