In 2003, the university was invited by Singapore's [[Economic Development Board]] to consider opening a campus there. Following a 2004 decision to proceed, the first phase of a planned $200 m campus opened in 2007.

In 2008, it collaborated with two other universities in forming [[The Centre for Social Impact]].  In 2019, the university moved to a trimester timetable as part of UNSW's 2025 Strategy.

The change to trimesters has been widely criticised by staff and students as a money-making move, with little consideration as to the well-being of students.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.smh.com.au/national/very-stressful-students-rebel-after-unsw-dumps-semesters-20190606-p51v8c.html|title='Very stressful': students rebel after UNSW dumps semester|newspaper=The Sydney Morning Herald|date=6 June 2019|access-date=11 July 2019|archive-date=11 July 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190711005328/https://www.smh.com.au/national/very-stressful-students-rebel-after-unsw-dumps-semesters-20190606-p51v8c.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
