Why choose UWA

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 limestone and terracotta buildings sitting among elegant heritage-listed gardens.

We have strong strategic partnerships with industry, the professions, government and the wider community. The University is home to Australia’s first Confucius Institute, in collaboration with the People’s Republic of China.

Working collaboratively with multiple international institutions in research excellence, we promote staff and student exchanges and share teaching materials and methods.

The University employs more than 3500 staff and has 18,000 students enrolled in campus and offshore programs. We offer broad and balanced coverage of disciplines in the arts, sciences and major professions and continue to attract high-calibre school leavers, and postgraduate students nationally and internationally. A range of commercially orientated professional and technical staff support the University in human resources, finance, information technology and facilities management functions.

At UWA you will be part of a team in taking us forward to become a top 50 University in 50 years.

University’s Annual Reports are prepared each year and provide an evaluation of the university’s performance and achievements during the previous year, measured against its goals and strategic plans.
