The latest QS World University Rankings acknowledged UNSW as the top engineering faculty in Australia and #36 in the world. We’re known as the leading Civil and Environmental Engineering School in Australia. Globally we’re ranked 12th by QS Rankings, and 10th by AWRU. As a leading centre for Civil Engineering and Surveying research, we ensure the outcomes of our research are woven into our teaching, with students given opportunities to work alongside leading researchers.  Benefits of studying with us: We're committed to advancing a more prosperous, safe and just society, with emphasis on sustainability and consideration of engineering impacts Our Alumni are consistently high contributors to Engineers Australia’s Top 100 list of Most Influential Engineers Our academic staff are recognised world leaders in their fields of expertise Study in the best in modern facilities with $104 million invested in cutting edge laboratory facilities that are nationally unique.  When you study Surveying at UNSW, you’ll have access to the Surveying and Geospatial Engineering Laboratory (SAGE Lab). The SAGE Lab is a central space for teaching and research in surveying and geospatial engineering. It has state-of-the-art surveying instruments and up-to-date software packages to keep up with the latest technology development in surveying and geospatial engineering.  Our students also have access to the Satellite Navigation and Positioning Laboratory (SNAP Lab). UNSW’s SNAP Lab has over 20 years research experience in wireless, ground-based and satellite-based positioning technology and applications. SNAP Lab is a collaborative research initiative combining expertise in geodesy, surveying & geospatial science, with electronics, signal processing and space engineering. At UNSW Engineering, you’ll benefit from a diverse and welcoming community. UNSW has over 300 clubs and societies. As a surveyor, you will be able to get involved in our surveying specific society SURVSOC as well as our School Society CEVSOC.
