Start a
world-class
degree in 2026

Hi everyone, I’m Adam Gilchrist. 

Throughout my cricket career, I had the chance to travel the world, meet incredible people, and experience different cultures. 

Those experiences shaped who I am today and that’s why I am so proud to be the Global Ambassador for the University of Wollongong. 

Much like cricket, education is about opportunity, growth, and resilience. 

That’s exactly what I see at UOW – an institution committed to helping students reach their full potential. 

For over 50 years, UOW has been shaping futures with outstanding teaching, research, and student support. 

Today, UOW is ranked among the top 200 universities globally and in the top 50 for impact. 

But more than rankings, it’s about real-world outcomes. 

UOW has a strong presence globally, which shows just how serious we are about supporting students from all around the world. 

When you come to UOW in Australia, you join a diverse, welcoming, and multicultural community. 

From day one, you’ll feel supported academically, personally, and professionally. 

It reminds me of being part of a great team: everyone backing each other, learning, growing, and pushing toward shared success. 

Just like in sport, preparation matters. 

At UOW, students are prepared for the real world with strong industry connections, hands-on learning, and a focus on employability. 

Graduates walk away not just with a degree, but with the confidence and skills to thrive in their careers – whether that’s in Australia or internationally. 

I’ve seen firsthand the difference UOW makes in people’s lives. 

That’s why I believe in it so strongly. 

It’s not just a university – it’s the start to your future career. 

So, if you’re thinking about starting your journey, I encourage you to consider UOW. 

Ready to take that next step towards a world-class education and a successful future? 

We can’t wait to welcome you to the University of Wollongong Australia. 

Hi I'm Antra I'm an international student from India

I did my Diploma of Business at UOW Colege

I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Business at UOW with a major in Marketing

I've grown up in a very small town in Northeast of India 

Growing up, the opportunities were very limited. I knew I wanted something different and that was looking to study abroad.

When I was researching online UOW College and UOW stood out to me the most as one of the top universities in Australia.

When I first arrived in Australia, it was a mix of excitement, happiness, and a hint of fear.

My mom definitely was very proud of me. I was excited but she was more excited for me knowing that I would get opportunities that she never had.

The teachers at UOW College really helped me not only professionally but also personally and answered every question no matter how silly they seem.

I think one of the best things about UOW College is how diverse it is and you meet people from all over the world and actually build relationships and friendships that will hopefully be the long lasting.

The support and staff at UOW College really helped me have a smooth transition to my degree with such a diverse and strong community at college

Moving into Wollongong it's such a fun place to be, you have from surfing to rock climbing. There's so many societies and clubs you can be a part of Wollongong is very safe and you'll find community here.

UOW campus in itself is so beautiful whether its playing table tennis with some friends every day or just hanging out in a beautiful garden.

One of the biggest advice would give to any future student would be put yourself out there, there's so many opportunities. Looking back at my journey, I'm most proud of the life that I've created for myself in Wollongong.
