UNSW Student Communications Requests

The Student Information & Communications Team create consolidated and streamlined student communications in a tone and voice that students can relate to.

We liaise with key student engagement colleagues and special project teams across UNSW to shape both standalone and recurring communications, and more complex communication plans and campaigns.

With a focus on relevance versus volume, our goal is to deliver targeted communications via appropriate channels that achieve maximum impact while reducing noise.

You can find out more about our process and key communication channels below.

Email (EDMs)

We aim to reduce the amount of emails that students are receiving, but there are instances where an email is appropriate. We have access to dynamic lists that are extremely accurate and we can filter information within an email to target specific cohorts to ensure relevance. We closely monitor engagement to maximise impact.
