The University of Western Australia

At The University of Western Australia (UWA), we prepare our graduates to improve the lives of others, driving change and shaping the future.

With the world – and the skills needed to succeed in it – changing all the time, our distinctive, experience-rich curriculum and outstanding learning experience gives our students the knowledge and the adaptability to make a positive difference in society.

As the top university in Western Australia, UWA continues to attract high-calibre, globally recognised staff and researchers, and has built strong collaborative links with other universities, research institutes, businesses and governments all over the world. This extensive network of contacts and relationships offers students the chance to take the skills they learn in the classroom and use them in real-life situations. From industry partnerships and internships, to volunteering for credit and networking, there is a host of opportunities to put theory into practice, gaining valuable experience that’s much sought-after by employers.

UWA is situated in Western Australia’s state capital of Perth, a city that is a hub of industry and innovation, with a thriving economy and easy access to the rest of the world. Approximately 60 per cent of the world’s population lives within 2.5 hours of WA’s time zone (GMT +8), giving Perth better access to global resources and markets, and increased job opportunities. It’s also one of the Australia’s most affordable cities and boasts a laidback lifestyle combining urban excitement with some of the most beautiful and diverse natural beauty in the world.

We look forward to welcoming new students to our community, and supporting them in achieving their career goals and making a real difference to the world.
