“It is great to know that the Uni has set-up a lot of services and support networks available for international students, and that I am not alone in this journey.”
The International Student Welcome is designed to formally welcome international students to UNSW as well as introduce you to the support services available to you and other useful information about making the most of your time at UNSW.
This event is suitable for undergraduate, postgraduate and research students.
The International Welcome will include key dates to note as well as hearing from Cultural Mentors, other student ambassadors and key support staff who will give you insights in what to expect as a student at UNSW. They will also be there to answer any other questions you have and ensure that you are prepared to start your studies on campus or online.
