About CSE
Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) in the Faculty of Engineering at UNSW is one of the largest Schools of its kind in Australia with the greatest impact on society through our academic excellence in teaching, research, commercial and social engagement. The School is the largest with the Faculty of Engineering with over 3,400 students and 56 full-time academic staff with an operating budget of over $20 million. CSE is undergoing a period of expansion, advertising, and recruiting for over 10 new academic staff in 2021.
The school is the critical work unit to deliver on the academic priorities of the University and in interactions with students, alumni, industry, government, professional bodies, and the community. In short, the CSE community creates computing advancements for a better world.
