Rankings and Achievements

rUNSWift in a Standard Platform League game from RoboCup 2010 in Singapore.

Ranked Number 1 in Australia for Computer Science - ARWU, 2010
The UNSW Centre for Photovoltaic Engineering currently holds the world record for single-crystalline silicon solar cell efficiency (25%). It also holds the world record for multi-layer solar cell efficiency (43%).^[2] It is one of the leading solar cell research centres in the world with ongoing active research in the area of wafer-based solar cell technologies, thin film cell technologies and advanced third-generation cell concepts.
23% of "Australia's Top 100 Most Influential Engineers"^[3] as listed by Engineers Australia graduated from UNSW, the highest percentage for any university.
