Homelessness remains a huge problem in Canberra. The ACT turned away more than 1000 people in need of accommodation last year – almost one-third of those who reached out for help.

UNSW Canberra Rector Professor Michael Frater will participate in Vinnies CEO Sleepout  to raise money to provide food, accommodation and essential services to those who are doing it tough.

UNSW Canberra has marked International Women's Day by releasing new figures that show an increase in the uptake of engineering degrees by female undergraduate students.

In the last five years there has been a 92 per cent rise in enrolments, as the university continues to drive new initiatives to encourage women in STEM, such as the inaugural UNSW Canberra Prize for Best Female Student in Mathematics. 

Canberra's brightest Year 8 and 9 female mathematics students were rewarded for their hard work today at the University of New South Wales Canberra.

The 54 girls, representing 27 schools, were the top performing female maths student in their school year in 2017. A further 108 students were recognised for placing second and third in their year.

The inaugural UNSW Canberra Prize for Best Female Student in Mathematics was launched to encourage young women to pursue studies and a career in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
