The University of Western Australia (UWA)

For over 110 years, The University of Western Australia has been a place where change is seen as an opportunity. As Western Australia’s first university and a member of the prestigious Group of Eight, we don’t just honour our history, we use it as a launchpad for the future, empowering our community to turn ambition into real-world impact. Situated on the banks of the Derbal Yerrigan (Swan River), our campus stands on sacred ground where kaartdijin (knowledge) has been shared for millennia. This enduring spirit of learning inspires our vibrant global community of over 28,000 students from more than 100 countries. They join a network of over 150,000 graduates, a community of bold thinkers and resourceful leaders driving progress across the globe. Our standing as a world top 100 university (QS 2026) is a direct result of the people who define us: the passionate researchers, dedicated educators, and industry partners committed to tackling the world’s most complex challenges. At UWA, our motto of seeking wisdom isn’t a passive pursuit, it’s the fuel for tangible change. Together, let’s shape what’s next.
