UWA sits within a great natural environment. The gardens on the Crawley campus are registered by the Australian Heritage Commission, while the campus as a whole won the inaugural Civic Design Award in 1986 and is listed on the National Estate register.
The benefits of studying at UWA are clear.
The best way for talented and ambitious students to succeed is by learning from and working with those at the top of their fields.
UWA is Western Australia's leading university because:
- We consistently attract the best students. In 2008, more than 80 per cent of the top five per cent of Western Australian school leavers enrolled at UWA.
- Our students have better employment outcomes than graduates from other WA universities (even exceeding the national average).
- Many of UWA's achievements place the University among the top universities in the world.
- Our rapidly growing strategic alliances with leading global corporations and institutes means our graduates are being employed worldwide.
- UWA's Nobel Laureates and our many international award-winning students, teachers and researchers are helping us make world-class our minimum standard.
- We have links with Western Australia's booming resources sector.
The University is ranked first in Australia for the quality of its undergraduate students and second for research performance.
