Sydney is home to more global firms than any other Australian

and is known for its ideal climate, relaxed outdoor lifestyle, and

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.

Sydney is a diverse and cosmopolitan city. It ranked
13th-best student city in the world in the QS Best Student
Cities Index 2017. 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.
