Overview
The University of Western Australia (UWA) College recognises that every student’s pathway to university is different, and focuses on helping students develop the study skills necessary to succeed in university. UWA College’s pathway programmes are a great option for students who:
- Need help improving their English language skills
- Require additional academic support to meet the direct entry requirements for UWA
- Have just graduated from high school and need some extra support to make the transition to university
Once a student successfully completes a pathway programme at UWA College – UWA Foundation or a Diploma - and they can commence their studies at UWA without needing to submit another application. Additionally, UWA College programmes are designed in collaboration with the university which gives students the chance to utilise university facilities, study alongside university students, and learn from UWA’s leading academics.
The college’s diplomas are equivalent to the first year of a university degree while offering additional English language and academic support. This allows students to smoothly transition to university life while staying on track with graduation timelines. Students can pursue diploma studies in commerce, computer and data science, or engineering, depending on their interests.
The foundation course prepares students for the first year of an undergraduate degree, offered across eight to 12 months. Students can take advantage of this flexible timeline to tailor the course length according to their own unique needs.
With an 88% learning satisfaction rate, a 94% support satisfaction rate, and a 93% overall student satisfaction rate (INTO Annual Student Experience Survey 2024), UWA College empowers students to reach new heights. Located at the heart of UWA’s Perth campus and with specialist staff on hand for support, studying at UWA College gives students a complete university experience from day one and an opportunity to build study skills in a supportive, interactive environment.

Services
UWA College’s exceptional standards in both teaching and learning are combined with personalised, student-centered services to help students prepare for university life. From the moment students arrive in Australia, the Student Services team helps them settle into student life in Perth. Following this, an orientation helps students explore the campus and the city, gain academic insights, and attend social events to meet peers. Even after orientation, the Student Services team remains the first point of contact for students as they embark on their academic journey.
Dedicated Academic Liaisons at UWA College offer one-on-one support and academic advice to students both in and out of the classroom to equip them with all the study skills needed to succeed at UWA. Students can also benefit from UWA’s academic support services, such as study skills workshops and extensive online resources.
Additionally, the college has a number of welfare and mental health practitioners to support student wellbeing. Confidential health advice is easy to access on campus, as the college provides a 24-hour telephone helpline for out-of-hours emergency support and a medical centre and pharmacy on campus.
