UNSW’s national stature, global rankings and deep pockets are set to change the scene among Canberra’s elite.
Canberra is set to be one of only three cities in Australia to be home to two world-100 ranked universities, including the UNSW Canberra campus, pictured.
From the dozens of supersized cranes littered across the landscape, it’s pretty clear to any casual observer that Canberra is booming. Traffic jams are even becoming a thing.
At the corner of Constitution Avenue and Coranderrk Street, around the corner from the casino on the fringes of the city, stands an ugly bitumen carpark that will, over the next decade, become an epicentre of teaching and research as the University of NSW’s newest outpost.
