It's the flexibility, community and support that Robert values

I knew I wanted to study at UOW due to their reputation. I chose UOW Shoalhaven as I valued the community they have created here. Being a smaller campus, the tutors and academics get to know each individual student, creating a safe and supportive environment. I work full-time and study full-time, and UOW Shoalhaven has offered me the flexibility to stay in the job I enjoy and remain close to friends and family.
