Study at The University of Western Australia

#1 Vibrant, comfortable student experience

Adjacent to the Swan River, their Perth campus is one of the most picturesque landscapes that Australia has to offer, with iconic sandstone buildings setting across the lengths of heritage-listed gardens. Students and the rest of UWA’s occupants are only ten minutes away from Perth’s main shopping and business district. 

Upon campus, there will be an array of essential facilities to enjoy, including cafes, libraries, bookshops, a vibrant cultural precinct and tons of clubs and societies to join and experience student life to its fullest.
