Introduction

 

What makes University of Wollongong (UOW) students great is their love of learning. UOW is a place where academics and students from all over the world learn and discover every day, where hard work is rewarded with opportunity and where good ideas come to life.

 

This spirit has us ranked as one of the world’s best modern universities being ranked 22nd in the world in the QS Top 50 Under 50 Rankings.
