About UniSmart

UniSmart is a unique, social enterprise company that successfully manages the fine balance of providing information to first year students in a way that is engaging and memorable.

UniSmart™ is a unique, live presentation that informs and engages first year tertiary students. Designed specifically to educate and empower new students, UniSmart is quite simply the best induction programme available. Its tailored approach focusses on developing self-supporting communities for academic and social success. Students who have experienced UniSmart, function better, are more confident and are better prepared to manage the transition from high school to higher education.

Starting university can be daunting for many new students. Whilst every university has support networks in place to assist new students, conveying this information in a memorable way can be difficult.

UniSmart is a polished presentation, delivered in a youth digestible tone that touches on the topical, inevitable and sometimes awkward situations, that often occur when starting out at university.  Key messages are delivered in a way that is engaging, surprising and attention grabbing.  UniSmart is high impact, energetic and memorable.

UniSmart will transform your induction into an ‘Awesome’ rating. View the evidence.

Topics like safe sex, diversity, drugs and alcohol are just the beginning.  We also talk about shyness, making new friends, study habits and self-management in honest  and entertaining ways.  The presentation lifts the lid on many of the pressure situations that students face.  A world class, talented performer provides punchy, effective information on how to deal with the thorny challenges of student life.  The R16 presentation is targeted to young undergraduates and is highly relevant to, and appreciated by, international students as well as domestic students living at, or away from, home.

UniSmart, a social enterprise company, has achieved outstanding reviews since it burst onto the academic scene in 1999.
