The city is built on hills surrounding Sydney Harbour - an inlet of the Tasman Sea on Australia's south-east coast. It is home to the iconic Sydney Opera House, the Harbor Bridge and its beaches. The metropolitan area is surrounded by national parks, and contains many bays, rivers and inlets.

The University is a member of Australia's "Group of Eight" lobby group, and is also a founding member of Universitas 21, an international network of leading research-intensive universities.
In 2008, UNSW received the maximum five-star rating for nine key performance indicators, well above any other Group Eight University, in the 2008 Good Universities Guide. In total points across all categories, UNSW was the national leader, outrating all other universities. It achieved a top score for student demand, graduate starting salaries, research grants, research intensivity, student-staff ratios, cultural diversity, gender balance, and international enrolments. The University was ranked 45th on the 2008 Times Higher Education Supplement World University Rankings, ranking fifth among Australian universities.
