====Coat of arms====
The [[grant of arms]] was made by the [[College of Arms]] on 3 March 1952. The grant reads:
:''Argent on a Cross Gules a Lion passant guardant between four Mullets of eight points Or a Chief Sable charged with an open Book proper thereon the word "SCIENTIA" in letters also sable.''<ref>[http://www.handbook.unsw.edu.au/archive/historical/UNSWCalendar2002.pdf UNSW Calendar 2002] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170202051716/http://www.handbook.unsw.edu.au/archive/historical/UNSWCalendar2002.pdf |date=2 February 2017 }}, University of New South Wales, page 5, accessed 29 January 2017.</ref>
The lion and the four stars of the [[Southern Cross]] on the [[St George's Cross]] have reference to the [[Coat of arms of New South Wales|State of New South Wales]] which established the university; the open book with ''scientia'' ("knowledge") across its pages is a reminder of its purpose. The placement of ''scientia'' on the book was inspired by its appearance on the [[Coat of arms of Imperial College London|arms of Imperial College London]], formed in 1907. Beneath the shield are the Latin words within a [[Speech scroll|scroll]]: ''"Corde Manu et Mente"'' ("heart, hand and mind"), which when combined with ''scientia'' forms the [[Latin]] [[motto]] of the university: ''Scientia Corde Manu et Mente'' or 'Knowledge by heart, hand and mind'.

The original motto of the university, from 1952 was ''Scientia Manu et Mente'' ("Knowledge by hand and mind"), which used the earlier motto of the [[Sydney Technical College]] (''Manu et Mente'' or 'by hand and mind') from which the university developed.<ref name=unswcoa>{{cite web|url=http://www.facilities.unsw.edu.au/index.php/download_file/-/view/74|title=UNSW Symbol Guidelines|publisher=University of New South Wales|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120118055659/http://www.facilities.unsw.edu.au/index.php/download_file/-/view/74|archive-date=18 January 2012}}</ref> In 2021, the motto was changed, with approval from the College of Arms, to its current form to reflect the university's brand concept of 'collective difference'.<ref>{{cite web |title=UNSW crest gets a heart |url=https://www.inside.unsw.edu.au/campus-life/unsw-crest-gets-heart |website=Inside UNSW |publisher=UNSW |access-date=20 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210225120220/https://www.inside.unsw.edu.au/campus-life/unsw-crest-gets-heart |archive-date=25 February 2021}}</ref> Following the rules of [[English heraldry]], the motto does not form part of the arms and consequently the alteration did not formally require approval of the College of Arms.

An update of the design and colours of the arms was undertaken in 1970, which provided a more contemporary design, yet retained all the arms' heraldic associations. In 1994, the university title was added to the arms, as was the abbreviation "UNSW", to create the UNSW symbol that is used for everyday and marketing purposes.<ref name=unswcoa/>
