The University of Western Australia (UWA) is the second oldest degree issuing institution in the state of Western Australia, following the Western Australian School of Mines which was founded in 1902. UWA was established in February 1911, it is the only university in the state to be a member of the prestigious Group of Eight, as well as the Sandstone universities.
The University of Western Australia acknowledges that it is situated on Noongar land, that the Noongar people remain the spiritual and cultural custodians of their land and continue to practise their values, languages, beliefs and knowledge.
UWA has the highest quality undergraduates of any university in Australia. This is underpinned by the fact that the proportion of UWA graduates accepted into full-time employment within five months of completing their course is the highest of all Western Australian universities and among the highest in Australia.
Coupled with this success is our high-quality intake of students. Western Australia's top-achieving school leavers choose to study at UWA as do high-calibre undergraduate and postgraduate students from around Australia and the world, particularly South-East Asia.
In 2008, the University had 3,958 international students, part of a total student body of over 19,000.
