With an illustrious history spanning over a century, the University of Western Australia (UWA) was founded as the State’s first university in 1911. As a member of the prestigious Group of Eight, it is Australia’s leading research-intensive university and ranked in the top 1% of universities worldwide. Over the years, it has become a hub of groundbreaking research and discoveries.
One of UWA’s proudest achievements is its connection to Nobel Prize-winning Professor Barry Marshall, whose groundbreaking discovery of the Helicobacter pylori bacterium revolutionised the treatment of stomach ulcers. This is just one of many examples of how UWA nurtures an environment of curiosity, innovation, and real-world impact. Located in one of the most liveable cities of Perth, UWA offers a perfect fusion of academic excellence, gleaming campus life and extensive career opportunities.
