Experience Sydney,
one of the world’s
best cities
The business capital of Australia
Sydney is home to more global firms than any other Australian
city. A gateway to Asian economies, the city attracts great
minds and is known for its ideal climate, relaxed outdoor
lifestyle, and friendly locals. It’s no wonder Sydney was voted
the 10th-best city in the world to live and work.*

*Mercer Quality of Living Survey, 2018

 Surrounding areas
UNSW is in the leafy Eastern Suburbs, minutes
away from Coogee Beach and Centennial Park. The
surrounding suburbs of Kingsford, Randwick, and
Maroubra are full of cafes and restaurants offering an
impressive range of international cuisine, reflecting the
area’s diversity.

Outside Sydney
Catch a train to the Blue Mountains for some fresh air,
go north or south along the coast for quiet and stunning
beaches, or head inland for Australian rural life. And you
can always take a plane to Melbourne, the Gold Coast,
New Zealand, or Bali, just like the locals.

[Link]/sydney-worlds-best.

Student friendly
Sydney is a diverse and cosmopolitan city. It ranked 9th best
city in the world in the QS Best Student Cities Index 2018. The
Harbour City is not just a destination but a life experience.
World-class performances, spectacular events, and stunning
landscapes await you in a city where there is as much to do at
7am as 11pm.

Love Sydney for less

There are endless affordable indoor and outdoor activities
to enjoy in Sydney. Visit free art galleries, watch a movie at
the local cinema, set off on a coastal walk, enjoy a barbecue
in the park, go snorkelling or surfing at the beach, or have a
cheap lunch or dinner in our neighbouring suburbs.
