Research
UNSW is one of Australia's leading research intensive universities. While we conduct research across a wide range of disciplines, we are investing additional resources in areas where we feel we can make a difference. This involves building on existing strengths in fields where we are already a world leader, as well as identifying emerging problems and opportunities, and moving to meet the challenge. For more information on areas of research at UNSW go to Research Strengths Choose the UNSW Research strength you wish to support below.
