UNSW alumni can claim a $500 voucher to upskill

This special offer to celebrate UNSW’s 75th anniversary is open to staff who are alumni. 

For 75 years, UNSW has driven progress that benefits everyone, through teaching, learning and research. To celebrate this incredible milestone, the UNSW Alumni Experience team and the Lifelong Learning Unit have collaborated to offer all UNSW alumni a $500 voucher for selected UNSW short courses.

This special offer is a way of thanking alumni for being an integral part of the UNSW community, whether they are aiming to upskill, change career paths or simply learn something new.

More than 200,000 contactable alumni were sent the offer via email on Tuesday 3 September and the promotion will continue throughout this month and into October in the Alumni Express newsletters and other channels.

We encourage all staff who are also UNSW alumni to claim your voucher and to promote the offer to your networks.
