Getting to campus

The Wollongong Campus is conveniently located only three kilometres to the north-west of the Wollongong Central Business District, in a beautiful bushland setting. 

There are many ways you can travel to the campus.  It can be easily accessed by free shuttle buses connecting you to the train, and shared paths for walking and cycling. We encourage you to consider sustainable transport options such as walking, cycling, using the free shuttle buses or public transport, where possible. UOW's free shuttle bus service is operated using zero emissions electric buses.

For those who need to drive, we offer paid parking which can fill during busy periods.
