We are committed to providing postgraduate coursework students the best possible support and resources for success. We work closely with key academic staff, including the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic), Deans of Faculties, Head of Schools, Postgraduate Course Co-ordinators, and academic teaching staff, to ensure that your academic concerns are addressed.

The Vice-President (Coursework) is responsible for representing academic coursework issues to the appropriate working committees within UNSW, such as the Student Development Committee (SDC), the University Academic Quality Committee (UAQC) and the Academic Board Programs Committee (ABPC).

The Coursework Committee Liaison provides guidance to and oversees a dedicated committee who volunteer their time to uplift the postgraduate voice and experience. They organise workshops or seminars that would benefit postgraduate coursework students (either virtually or in person) and assist in advocating for issues presented by Coursework Committee members.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you have any concerns, questions, or want to find out more about how to get involved.
