We will make sure you get more than a theoretical education. Our close industry ties with the ANSTO and CSIRO ensures you receive relevant industry exposure throughout your degree.
Sustainable Buildings Research Centre
The Sustainable Buildings Research Centre (SBRC) is a 6 Star Green Star- Education Design v1 accredited, multi-disciplinary facility that hosts a wide range of research and industry collaborations to address the challenges of making buildings sustainable. We are pioneering new approaches to retrofitting techniques to create more effective places to live and work.
Located at the University of Wollongong's Innovation Campus, this beautiful new centre is alive with student research as a Living Laboratory and thrives on collaboration with industry. The building was designed and constructed based on the principles of the Living Building Challenge, pushing the boundaries of sustainable design and construction with hopes to inspire communities throughout Australia to take action on sustainability.
SMART Infrastructure Facility
Established in 2011 by the University of Wollongong, the SMART Infrastructure Facility brings together experts from fields such as economics, modelling, data analytics and system engineering. This expertise is applied to various domains including energy, water, transport and cities.
The dedicated team of researchers tackle infrastructure issues from an integrated and multi-disciplinary perspective, with a focus on how infrastructure and social behaviour intersect to ensure more liveable cities and regions.
An international leader in applied infrastructure research, the SMART Infrastructure Facility is helping to address the challenges of infrastructure planning and management both now and into the future.
National Institute for Applied Statistics Research Australia
The National Institute for Applied Statistics Research Australia (NIASRA) is committed to developing and applying innovative statistical methods to important problems. It undertakes a range of fundamental and contract research, major consulting projects, and professional education in statistical methodology. A number of research centres and a consulting centre are contained within NIASRA.
Steel Research Hub
The Steel Research Hub’s vision is to create a platform of proven and internationally recognised teams working collaboratively in a diverse and inclusive environment, which help deliver innovative solutions and breakthrough technologies in steel to its industry customers and their downstream channel partners.
Australian Power Quality and Reliability Centre
The Australian Power Quality and Reliability Centre (APQRC) is a centre of excellence for research, education and consulting in distribution and transmission system power quality, reliability and renewable energy systems. The Power Quality & Reliability Centre was established in 1996 as Australia's first Power Quality Centre. Since then industry funding has continued to support the Power Quality & Reliability Centre contributing more than $4 million of sponsorship over the past 25 years.
The focus of the Centre is to work in conjunction with industry to improve the quality and reliability of electricity supply for the benefit of all consumers.
Facility for Intelligent Fabrication
The Facility for Intelligent Fabrication (FIF) is designed to provide integrated solutions to industry needs, including problem solving, technology adoption and education, training and certification. The core partners of FIF each have independent but complementary national networks that can deliver the various client services ranging from consulting, prototyping, through to training, and bespoke niche manufacturing capability.
