Equity diversity & inclusion
UNSW Engineering is committed to providing a supportive, equitable and inclusive environment where all staff and students can thrive. The EquityÌýDiversity and Inclusion Committee was established to drive this diversity agenda by facilitating, supporting and creating new initiatives, guidelines and activities and reviewing the progress of our equity and diversity goals.
UNSW Engineering EDI Strategy 2023-2027
We are excited and encouraged at the manner with which many within our Faculty, and UNSW more broadly, have already engaged in the development of this strategy and are delighted to present our White Paper: Engineering Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Strategy 2023-2027.
