University of Western Australia

The University of Western Australia ("UWA") is Western Australia's oldest university, established in February 1911. It is one of Australia's "Group of Eight" leading universities. The University was established under and is governed by the University of Western Australia Act 1911. The Act provides for the control and management of the University to be the responsibility of the Senate, and gives it the authority, amongst other things, to make statutes, regulations and by-laws, details of which are contained in the University Calendar.

Internationalisation

The University of Western Australia is strongly committed to internationalisation of all aspects of its activities. UWA has formal agreements with 44 international institutions, promoting staff and student exchanges, collaborative research and exchange of teaching materials and methods. The University also teaches several of its programmes offshore, in Singapore, Indonesia and Hong Kong. Trans-national programmes facilitate the development of UWA as a genuinely international university.
