The University of Western Australia (UWA) is a public research university in the Australian state of Western Australia. The university’s main campus is in Crawley, a suburb located in the City of Perth local government area. UWA was established in 1911 by an act of the Parliament of Western Australia. UWA is the oldest university in Western Australia (WA) and the sixth-oldest in Australia.
Undergraduate degrees at UWA offers students a broad range of options and a high degree of flexibility, allowing students to combine subjects in a way that matches their career and personal interests. UWA’s undergraduate degree structure requires students to complete at least one major, as well as a number of general units. The university also offers a range of study abroad and student exchange opportunities for undergraduate students.
UWA welcomes applications from school-leavers, mature-age applicants and those with previous tertiary study. Academic performance is the main criterion in the university’s selection process. Alternative entry schemes are also available for students who don’t meet the requirements.
To support the growing population of overseas students, the University of Western Australia has created a strong set of support services for their students. UWA helps international students organize their arrival in Australia by giving them important information on the necessary preparations they have to make. The university even offers free airport pick-up to take students to their accommodation. With the on and off campus accommodation options, UWA provides advice and support on housing options to help students decide where to live while at the University.
Upon arrival, students may immediately seek for assistance as UWA offers a readily available International Centre. Orientations, mentoring programs, social programs, personal safety advice and academic support are all available in UWA as well. Aside from all these, international student scholarships and other forms of financial assistance are also offered.
UWA offers scholarships in a range of disciplines as part of its commitment to attracting high-achieving students while maintaining equity and access.
