What can UOW offer me?

The University of Wollongong provides research training for people interested in both academic and research careers as well as individuals interested in developing an advanced level of professional practice.

Students who attend the University of Wollongong benefit from:

A caring environment

Our small size and relaxed atmosphere means that students are treated as individuals and have the opportunity to form close contacts with staff across the campus.

Committed supervisors

Students, on most occasions, benefit from the advantage of having two supervisors to guide them throughout their research program.

The opportunity to work with expert researchers

Our students benefit from the opportunity to work closely with recognised experts in our research units, including six major Research Institutes.

Our ideal location

Wollongong combines the benefits of a major commercial and industrial centre with all the advantages of a relaxed lifestyle and peaceful natural setting.

You will enjoy bush, beaches, mountains, national parks and rivers, all within easy reach.

Native trees, streams and birds abound on campus, complementing its setting at the rainforested foothills of Mt Kiera and creating a peaceful place to work and study.

The low cost of living

Wollongong provides students with the combined benefits of a lower cost of living and easy access to both Sydney and Canberra via freeway or convenient fast electric train service.
