Overview
Unlike most universities, UWA allows students to design courses themselves, working with faculty advisors to develop flexible programmes of study that fulfil their individual needs while developing unique skill sets that set them apart in the eyes of employers. This emphasis on self-determination fuels an impressive range of research efforts and outreach initiatives including Australian Doctors for Africa. UWA is a member of the Group of Eight elite Australian research universities, and the Matariki Network of Universities. UWA maintains more than 4,500 industry partnerships, helping students gain practical experience while pursuing their degrees and giving them valuable connections for life after graduation
