Study at the University of Western Australia

A vibrant intercollegiate lifestyle on a strikingly beautiful riverside campus is one way to describe the experience you can expect at the University of Western Australia (UWA). With modern and high tech classrooms, courses specializing in subjects like geology, natural resource management, botany, anthropology, history and English, and a campus situated only minutes from downtown Perth and from the beaches on the Indian Ocean, UWA offers so many of the characteristics that attract students to studying in Australia. Part of studying in Western Australia is taking advantage of the natural surroundings. Many courses in the natural sciences involve field work components providing you with an opportunity to see Australia and interact with your fellow students. Subjects like anthropology take advantage of the history and multicultural nature of Australia.
