An important part of the Women in Engineering program is raising the awareness of engineering as a potential career option for girls. We want to shatter the perception that engineering is a profession for men involving hard hats, physical labour and heavy machinery. Engineering is an extraordinarily diverse field and UNSW has an illustrious history of female graduates making impact in the areas of medical science, environmental stewardship, world health and energy innovation. These engineers require lateral thinking, creativity, problem-solving and management skills.

We recommend you apply for as many scholarships that you are eligible for to increase your chances (not just WIE scholarships).
Postgraduate Scholarships
The UNSW Women in Engineering Research Scholarship was established to assist women of high academic achievement with an interest in a research and/or an academic career in engineering. UNSW Engineering offers two Women in Engineering Top-up Scholarships each term.

If you are a domestic student applying for an eligible engineering degree at UNSW and expect an ATAR within 10 points of the lowest selection rank for your degree, we encourage you to apply for the Faculty of Engineering Admissions Scheme (FEAS). FEAS is part of the UNSW Portfolio Entry program, an alternative pathway for students who want to study at UNSW.
