The University of Wollongong is a university of international standing with an enviable record of achievement in teaching and research. It is also located in one of the most beautiful settings in Australia, and only an hour's drive south of Australia's largest city, Sydney.
Situated just 80km south of Sydney on a spectacular stretch of the southern New South Wales coast, Wollongong's natural environment includes some of the most pristine beaches in Australia and the escarpment to the west offers a great network of walking trails and dazzling views of the coastline. The main campus is set on 82 hectares of bush and parkland between the mountains and the sea, with the faculty buildings and award-winning library dotted among ponds, water courses and thousands of trees offering a haven for birds and wildlife, creating an ideal learning environment.
The University's aim is to nurture quality graduates who are experts in their fields and who can work anywhere in the world. Above all, we are looking to produce tomorrow's leaders, mature well-rounded individuals who will return a contribution to society. Twice named Australia's University of the Year* - in 1999-2000 for its outstanding research and development partnerships and in 2000-2001 for preparing its students for the e-world - Wollongong has also been ranked the nation's top university for educational experience and graduate outcomes for the last three years.
*Good Universities Guides
We recognise that students learn in many ways, from formal teaching settings, from research in libraries and laboratories and also from other students and from the many cultural, recreational and artistic activities that are available to members of the University community.
Student Exchange
The University attracts international students from over 70 countries, representing more than 20 percent of the student population. In addition, The University's Study Abroad Program - designed for students who wish to spend one or two semesters in a program of study at Wollongong and transfer the credit to their home institution - is extremely popular, especially with students from the United States. A study abroad experience is more than an opportunity to study in another country. It's your chance to explore a new landscape, discover another culture, learn more about yourself and all that you are capable of, and make lifelong friends in the process.
Why Wollongong?
The University of Wollongong is located in the city of Wollongong, which is part of the Illawarra Region and the Greater Sydney Region. Nestled between the mountains and the Pacific Ocean, the Illawarra region has been acknowledged for having some of Australia's most beautiful and cleanest beaches. Wollongong itself is a vibrant, multicultural centre servicing a region of 300,000 people. Our location, climate and lifestyle provide the chance to enjoy an amazing range of recreational activities from swimming and surfing, to parasailing, windsurfing, fishing, sailing, scuba diving and mountain climbing.
