New College Village

Canberra Private Schools introduces New College Village in Kensington, for all your education and learning needs.

Welcome to the University of New South Wales’ first residential community designed primarily for postgraduates. While we accept a limited number of selected upper year or honours undergraduates, the focus of the New College Village is on providing an exciting postgraduate community.

NCV is a community of over 300 people living and learning together. All are involved in one way or another with study or research at the University of New South Wales or its related institutions. We exist to encourage academic commitment in every possible way. NCV aims to maintain higher academic standards than those generally required in the university. We are also a community of people marked by openness to each other’s area of study and activities.

The college is founded on Christian faith and values so we seek to provide care and support consistent with our faith. We also provide opportunities for residents to express their faith and to grow spiritually while they are here. However, we accept residents of all faiths (and none) and encourage open dialogue about beliefs and worldviews. And of course, there is no religious test to gain entry to NCV.
