Turn your passion into purpose
The University of Wollongong (UOW) empowers students to turn their interests into meaningful careers by delivering world leading teaching and research as well as driving local and global impact.
As one of Australia’s leading universities for student equity, experience and employability, UOW is a place where students belong, develop a passion for lifelong learning, and are supported to succeed.
UOW has been named Australia’s top-ranked public university for undergraduate student experience in the latest national QILT Student Experience Survey. This recognition reflects the quality of UOW’s teaching, and the strength of our support services, and culture.
Our focus on outcomes is just as strong. Known for teaching excellence, and graduate success, 88.5% of UOW graduates find employment within four months of completing their degree - above the national average.*
Set in native bushland at the base of Mount Keira, our Wollongong campus combines natural beauty with modern facilities, just 90 minutes from Sydney and minutes from beaches and the city. Students can also choose to study closer to home, with metropolitan campuses in Liverpool, Sutherland, and Sydney CBD, as well as regional campuses in Eurobodalla, Bega Valley, Shoalhaven, and the Southern Highlands.
UOW’s purpose-built Liverpool campus is a hub for growth in South Western Sydney, bringing together teaching and research in Education, Nursing, Health, Business, Marketing & Management, Computer Science & IT, Social Work, and Law & Criminology. Designed with modern learning and collaboration spaces, the campus connects students, academics, and industry to help meet the region’s evolving workforce needs.<
With more than 200 partner institutions across 45 countries, UOW offers students the opportunity to gain global perspectives through exchange and study abroad programs. At the same time, comprehensive on-campus support, including free services, resources, and personalised assistance, ensures students are equipped to succeed personally, academically, and professionally.
UOW is deeply committed to inclusion and cultural support. Facilities such as the Woolyungah Indigenous Centre provide Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students with dedicated spaces, mentoring, and community programs to help them thrive at university.
Ranked among the world’s top 200 universities (QS World University Rankings 2026) and recognised as Australia’s top public university for undergraduate student experience (QILT), UOW is where passion meets purpose, and where your future begins.
