At the University of Wollongong (UOW), we’re proud to be among the best modern universities in the world. We’re ranked in the world’s top 200 universities and 6th for social and economic impact in the global THE Impact rankings, which benchmarks universities against the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Our graduates are ethical, mobile, technologically literate, and the most employable in Australia, as recently highlighted in The Australian Government’s Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching (QILT) Employer Satisfaction Survey, which UOW rated highest for the employability of its graduates.

Our vision is to inspire a better future through education, research and partnership. Three goals drive us towards our purpose; empowering students for their future, creating knowledge for a better world and making a difference for our communities.

UOW has a strong international focus and reputation, delivering world-class teaching to approximately 7,000 students globally, including at our campuses in the United Arab Emirates, Hong Kong and Malaysia, and teaching locations in China and Singapore. UOW in Dubai celebrated its 25th silver jubilee anniversary in 2018. In January 2022, it opened the doors to a new, 200,000 square-foot ‘campus of the future’ in Dubai’s Knowledge Park.

UOW’s newest research facility, Molecular Horizons, is at the forefront of scientific discovery, unlocking the innermost secrets of the living cell and developing new ways to detect and attack disease. Molecular Horizons is dedicated to illuminating how life works at a molecular level and solving some of the world’s biggest health challenges.
