As a UOW student in the Southern Highlands, you become part of a community of learning within a university ranked in the top 1 per cent globally.
We are committed to providing access to exceptional opportunities both inside and outside the classroom – from postgraduate pathways with the Doctor of Medicine program to industry-focused traineeships. Here, the brightest minds can achieve internationally recognised qualifications and develop the skills to create meaningful impact.
Our rural end-to-end medical program is a dedicated pathway that addresses the need for regional doctors, offering integrated training and clinical experience within regional communities from day one.
UOW College and local aged care facilities are working together to offer paid traineeships aimed at meeting the needs of the region. On successful completion, students receive a nationally recognised qualification.
I think the unique advantage, especially in the realm of health, is that l am living, working and studying all within the one community. This allows me to gain a rich depth of knowledge into the values and culture of my community.
The UOW Southern Highlands experience is unique and specially designed for the needs of our students.
The UOW Southern Highlands campus is a purpose-built facility within the grounds of the Moss Vale TAFE, with teaching rooms, clinical laboratory, computer lab, video conference facilities, and a common room with kitchen facilities.
