UNSW Ambassadors Inspire Students to Explore Future Study and Career Pathways

We were delighted to welcome UNSW student ambassadors to present to our students, offering an engaging and informative insight into university life and pathways. Drawing on their own experiences, the ambassadors explored a wide range of study options across faculties, highlighted the flexibility of degree structures such as double degrees, and explained key concepts including ATARs, selection ranks and adjustment factors. Students also gained valuable knowledge about scholarships, entry pathways and global opportunities, with a strong focus on how UNSW supports academic success and career outcomes. The session was both inspiring and practical, encouraging students to start thinking confidently about their future study and career directions.
