of Western Sydney
The University of Western Sydney (UWS) is one of the largest universities in Australia with over 35,000 students but being a multi-site university, each campus has a relatively small population. That makes for a friendly and caring environment it also makes learning and succeeding a lot easier.
You'll find that all our staff are just as keen for you to succeed as you are. They are friendly, approachable and want to ensure that you get the very best out of yourself and out of your chosen Bachelor, Master or Study Abroad program.

The university was founded in 1989 with the clear and fundamental purpose of providing high quality and accessible higher education and research to the people of Greater Western Sydney.
UWS has a reputation for academic excellence. The lecturers are innovative and highly qualified. The University encourages staff to respond to changing technological and theoretical trends and to apply the knowledge gained in their teaching programs.
UWS takes pride in the performance of its students, and believes the ultimate measure of its success is the quality of its graduates.
UWS campuses are all conveniently located between 30 to 60 minutes from the Sydney central business district. All campuses are easily accessible from the city's extensive road and rail networks and are adjacent to large suburban retail and commercial centres.
Western Sydney is a region with a young, ethnically diverse population, making it an ideal choice for international students. The ethnically diverse nature of the student body provides a multicultural and international environment for study, and reflects the university's international perspective.
