The University of Western Australia (UWA), founded in 1911, stands among Australia’s esteemed “sandstone universities.” Recognized for its outstanding teaching in diverse fields like sciences, psychology, and arts, UWA is part of the prestigious Group of Eight research universities.
With nine dynamic divisions covering a wide range of disciplines, UWA’s alumni include notable figures like former Prime Minister Bob Hawke, comedian Tim Minchin, and Nobel laureate Barry Marshall.
Located in Perth, UWA’s main campus offers a prime setting just minutes away from the city center. Surrounded by nature reserves, the Swan River, and close proximity to the beach, the campus provides an enriching environment for academic growth and leisure.
An annual tradition, Prosh, sees students dressing up in costumes to sell a satirical newspaper across Perth, raising funds for charitable causes since 1931.
