University of Western Australia

The University of Western Australia (UWA) is one of Australia’s leading universities and has an international reputation for excellence in teaching, learning and research. 

It has almost 24,000 students enrolled across nine faculties. A model of broad undergraduate studies followed by postgraduate professional qualifications is designed to produce well-rounded graduates, as well as provide additional entry opportunities for a wider range of students.

As Western Australia's premier university, UWA was equal first overall in Australia based on key measures in the Good Universities Guide 2014 including student demand, graduate outcomes, graduate starting salaries, getting a full-time job and research grants.

The University aims to be counted among the top 50 universities in the world by 2050, and is currently ranked 88th on the Shanghai Jiao-Tong University Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU).

Living at UWA means you can easily walk to uni, cafes and shops; you're also a short bus ride to the city and Perth's best beaches.

College Row - live on campus

UWA's residential colleges - commonly referred to as College Row - provide hassle-free student accommodation in Perth. You'll enjoy an amazing lifestyle that includes meals, Wi-Fi, all your utilities and a great community of friends.

All five colleges are located opposite UWA, so you can sleep in late and still get to class on time! With public transport right on your doorstep, getting to the city, beach, and Perth's best shopping and nightlife areas is also quick and easy.

As well as an action-packed calendar of social and sporting events to choose from, you'll have access to a gym, indoor and outdoor recreation areas, comfy chill-out zones, music rooms, and quiet study spaces giving you plenty of opportunities to catch up or study with your friends.
