Improving educational outcomes for students traditionally underrepresented in higher education
As part of UNSW’s strategic priority of advancing social impact, the University has committed to an access rate of 25% by 2027 for commencing domestic students from underrepresented schools and low-socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds. However, we know that access without continued support is a risk to success at university and effective inclusion.
UNSW takes a holistic, university wide approach to ensure underrepresented students can access, fully participate and succeed at university. Access, Equity & Inclusion leads the University’s primary admission strategy for widening participation and collaborate directly with faculties, divisions and students to design and implement targeted initiatives that span the student life cycle.
