UNSW College

UNSW College, part of UNSW Sydney, is your direct pathway to UNSW Sydney. We offer Diploma programs that provide domestic and international students with direct entry into second year of a UNSW bachelor's degree with no time lost.

If you didn’t receive an offer for direct entry to your chosen UNSW degree, a UNSW College Diploma gives you a supported and seamless alternative. Designed in collaboration with UNSW faculties, our Diplomas offer the same academic standard as first-year university courses. Upon successful completion and meeting the required progression criteria, you’ll transition directly into second year of your chosen UNSW degree.

With smaller class sizes and additional academic and study support, our programs are designed to build your confidence, sharpen your skills, and set you up for success at university. Diplomas are delivered on UNSW campus in Sydney, giving you access to university life and facilities from day one.

With more than 50 years of experience and over 125,000 students supported, UNSW College offers a trusted and proven pathway to one of Australia’s top universities, ranked in the world’s top 20 (QS World University Rankings 2025).
