The University of Western Australia (UWA) is a leading Australian research university and has an international reputation for excellence, innovation and enterprise. A member of the Australian "Group of Eight' research universities, it is also among Australia's leading research universities.

Sitting on the banks of the Swan River, the UWA Crawley campus is the oldest in Western Australia and among the most picturesque in the nation with its grand sandstone and terracotta buildings sitting among elegant heritage-listed gardens.

Highest quality graduates

UWA has the highest quality undergraduates of any university in Australia. This is underpinned by the fact that the proportion of UWA graduates accepted into full-time employment within five months of completing their course is the highest of all Western Australian universities and among the highest in Australia.

Coupled with this success is our high-quality intake of students. Western Australia's top-achieving school leavers choose to study at UWA as do high-calibre undergraduate and postgraduate students from around Australia and the world, particularly South-East Asia.

World-class education

UWA is ranked second in Australia for the quality of its undergraduate programs. Students benefit from the strong knowledge base and experience of teaching staff, many of whom have substantial international experience.

The University's strong foundation in research and teaching creates a scholarly environment which promotes the pursuit and rigorous critical interpretation of new information as well as the acquisition of knowledge.

Offshore teaching programs are attended by more than 700 students in Singapore, China (including Hong Kong) and the Philippines.

Research

Responsible for almost 70 per cent of the university-based research and development in Western Australia, UWA is committed to the achievement of the highest quality research and scholarship by international standards.

While research covers the full range of disciplines within the university, our specialist areas include:

• exploration, production and exploitation of minerals, oil and gas
• management of agricultural and natural ecosystems
• the humanities and social sciences
• health and bio-medicine
• genetic epidemiology
• indigenous issues
• information technology, telecommunications and computer science and
• international management and business studies.

International community

UWA's campus is a multi-cultural and multi-faith community which includes more than 3,000 international students from 80 nations. We actively promote a culture of inclusiveness and respect.
