“There’s also a real culture of valuing people and taking a chance on potential. I’ve had the opportunity to work across a variety of projects. It’s a place where I feel supported, contributions valued, and every day is a chance to grow and learn.”
“What I enjoy most about teaching at UNSW College is that there is a sense of community. We have a great team here. Our academic head is very supportive and gives us the freedom to shape our courses the way we think best serves our students.”
“One of the best parts of teaching here at UNSW College is how much time we get to spend with our students. The course structure is set up to maximise interaction.”
