An exciting new World Class calendar
UNSW Sydney will be implementing a new academic calendar ( UNSW3 +) beginning in 2019 . The new calendar will have three 10-week Terms instead of the current two 12-week Semesters .
The new UNSW3 + calendar will lead to some changes to commencement dates for UNSW Foundation Studies and UNSW Institute of Languages courses from mid-2018 . You can find these new commencement dates for 2018 on pages 16 and 54 .
The current application processes to our world-leading pathway programs will remain unchanged .
You can also find additional information about the new UNSW3 + calendar at student . unsw . edu . au / new-calendar
