New College
New College is a not-for-profit company that
provides accommodation and care for students
on-campus at The University of New South Wales.
Founded in 1969, the College is actively involved
in the life of the wider university community. The
College pursues academic excellence, collegiality
and service to society founded upon Christian
faith and values. We build vibrant and close knit
communities, strong in academic, sporting, cultural,
social and community service activities.
Academic Excellence
New College enjoys an outstanding academic history with 4 Rhodes
Scholars, 2 General Sir John Monash Scholars and over 90 University
Medallists. More than 40 percent of New Collegians receive a distinction
average or higher each year. New College nurtures academic success by
providing support in various forms:
• A Master and Dean who support and offer academic leadership of the
College community.
• Eight resident advisers and eleven academic tutors who are available for
personal and academic support.
• All the benefits of living in an affiliated college on campus at The University
of New South Wales in a talented and entrepreneurial community.
Collegiality
New College is a friendly caring community where students experience
a sense of belonging and connectedness during their time at University.
Influenced by the Oxbridge model of college life, the College encourages
the development of the whole person- intellectually, socially and spiritually.
The college has a rich heritage and maintains links to its more than 5000
alumni, now spread around the globe, who have at some time called
New College home. Living at New College is a fun, challenging and safe
experience where you make lifelong friends.
Service to Society
New College is more than just a place to live and study. There is a culture
at ‘New’ of getting involved, leading and initiating projects that provide
support and care to those in need. Whether it is putting together a team to
volunteer overseas or in an Indigenous Australian Community, or helping
out at a local Drop-in-Centre, New Collegians are encouraged to learn to
live a life that involves more than just study and work.
