Pathways to UOW

UOW is where you can find your why

As society faces complex social, environmental and economic challenges, we are increasingly defined by our purpose and contribution to the world. So, what contribution will you make? What inspires you? As a global university, we can help you find your why.

Find your why

I work at AIME which is the Australian Indigenous Mentoring Experience.
 
My passion is definitely enabling a stronger platform for Indigenous people.
 
I've had the privilege of a good education, so now I want to pass that opportunity on to kids in the community.

 

UOW Information Evenings

Designed so students and parents can find out more about studying at UOW, these events will help you explore our courses, the ATAR you need, how to get an early offer, where you're going to live, how you'll make friends and more. We're here to answer all your questions.

Applying to UOW

vietnamese students in a classroom ATAR-based admission

For most high school students, entry to UOW is determined by the result you achieve in your final years of school.

Students in Library Entry pathways

In these challenging times, you need certainty and support. That's why, at UOW, rather than solely relying on an ATAR, we can help you find the right pathway to achieve your goals.

Early Admission

Early Admission is UOW's early offer program for Year 12 students. We'll assess the results you've got so far and can reward you with an early offer before you sit your first exam.

Wollongong is more than just a uni

Welcome to the place where potentials are stretched and goals are met. Where, no matter your background, you’re given opportunities to get to where you’re going, and further. Determination is more than just a mantra here – it’s in our DNA. It’s why our students gave their overall educational experience at UOW the maximum 5-star rating (GUG 2021).

Meet Jordan

I've had so many opportunities [at UOW], including volunteering as a dissector in the anatomy lab, studying in New York for a semester and participating in an internship at the Innovation Campus.
