UOW First Year Community

Welcome to the exciting world of UOW! We understand that everyone’s path to university is unique, and that each person requires different kinds of support along the way. Starting university can feel overwhelming, but don’t worry – we’re here to support you every step of the journey.

That’s why we’re excited to introduce the UOW First Year Community – an online program, designed to connect you with fellow first-year students and others who share similar experiences.

This space is here for you to exchange advice, build support networks, and connect with peers who truly understand the challenges and excitement that come with starting this new chapter. Whether you're seeking answers, guidance, or just a sense of belonging, the First Year Communities are designed to help you thrive and feel supported throughout your time at UOW.
