UNSW Global is a wholly-owned subsidiary of UNSW Sydney, a public research university in Australia. While UNSW itself is public, UNSW Global operates as a private entity offering pathway programs, including foundation studies, English language courses, and diploma programs. These programs are designed to prepare international students for entry into UNSW or other universities.
Although it functions under the umbrella of a public institution, UNSW Global follows a private business model, focusing on tailored educational services. Its foundation programs are accredited and recognized but are not part of the public higher education system.
