Help us shape UNSW's future academic calendar

Provide your feedback by Thursday 6 February 2025

We want to hear from you! The university has explored 20 possible future calendar options and narrowed them down to two stand-out drafts:

  • A calendar with a new two-core teaching term structure
  • A calendar with a new and improved three-core teaching term structure.

Check out our possible academic calendar models and share your thoughts about the two options to help us determine the future of UNSW. The final decision on our new academic calendar will be made in early 2025 with roll-out starting from 2027 or 2028, depending on the calendar chosen.
