About The University of Western Australia
At UWA you join a community, not just a university. Enjoy an unrivalled student lifestyle and socialise with people who value the same things you do.
On campus, you’ll have an array of essential amenities to enjoy, including cafés, libraries, bookshops, a vibrant cultural precinct and tonnes of clubs and societies to join and experience student life to its fullest. Our supportive Student Guild means you can try your hand at volunteering, get independent advice on a range of matters or attend one of the many varied events on and off campus.
The University of Western Australia was established in 1911 as the state’s first University.
