The university also has a campus in Albany, on the south coast of Western Australia, which offers a similarly top-class learning environment underpinned by the latest technology.
The university boasts many notable alumni, including Nobel Laureates, with graduates of UWA being well prepared for the world of work. This extends to research, for which the university is highly regarded, including partnerships with organisations and industry.
