The University of New South Wales Asia (Abbreviation: UNSW Asia; Chinese: 亚洲新南威尔斯大学) was the first international university campus for the University of New South Wales in Singapore which opened on 12 March 2007. UNSW Asia was the first foreign university, fifth university and the third to be privately funded and operated after the Singapore Management University (2000) and SIM University (2005). On 23 May 2007, UNSW Asia Singapore campus announced its planned closure on 28 June 2007, at the end of the first semester due to financial issues and lower than expected student numbers.〔(UNSW: The University of New South Wales - Sydney Australia - Home page )〕〔(Channelnewsasia.com )〕 As a result of the sudden closure, rifts within the UNSW management were publicised, and accusations were exchanged between the University and the Economic Development Board.〔http://www.todayonline.com/articles/198503.asp〕〔(Channelnewsasia.com )〕 Questions were raised over the Economic Development Board's role in bringing in potentially over-ambitious business plans.〔(Channelnewsasia.com )〕 The Singapore government's total loans to the university amounting to S$32 million was also revealed.〔(Channelnewsasia.com )〕 The University is expected to repay all loans, and will have to restore the land for its campus to its original state, potentially incurring further costs.〔(Channelnewsasia.com )〕 ==Announcement of Closure==
UNSW announced its closure on 23 May 2007. It was reported that the closure was due to its low student enrolment, causing the school to run into financial problems. The closure came despite the fact that UNSW had already invested over S$22 million (A$17.5 million) in its Singapore campus. Students who were enrolled at UNSW Asia were offered a place in an equivalent programme at UNSW Sydney.〔〔 The students of the university petitioned against the closure of the Singapore campus. Together with the petition, they are asked for the S$140 million campus project at Changi to be abandoned to cut costs. They added they were happy with their current Kay Siang Road campus. Some said they did not mind paying their tuition fees in full to help the situation at the loss making campus. The petition was sent to the UNSW management in Sydney as well as the Ministry of Education and the Economic Development Board. Students felt the university should be given a chance and the university had a lot of potential in Singapore as well as being a force in the Asian education system. Local universities said they would admit affected students on a case-by-case basis. Scholarships were given to students to study in the UNSW Sydney campus with S$12,000 given to foreign students and S$22,000 to local students.
