 The University of Wollongong was incorporated as an independent institution in 1975.
Since its inception, the University has grown from a provincial feeder college with 300 students to an international university with over 18,000 students spread across three campuses and five access centres.
The University offers a wide range of courses across nine faculties - Arts, Education, Health & Behavioural Sciences, Engineering, Law, Science, Informatics, Commerce and Creative Arts. These faculties incorporate 40 teaching units with some 760 members of academic staff and 1,600 staff overall.
Since its foundation, the University has conferred more than 52,000 degrees, diplomas and certificates. Its student population, originally drawn predominantly from the local Illawarra region, is now comprised of students from over 70 countries with international students accounting for more than 30 percent of total enrolments.
The Campus Environment
The bushland setting of our Wollongong

Set on 82 hectares of bush and parkland between the
mountains and the sea, with the faculty buildings and
award-winning library dotted among ponds, water courses
and thousands of trees offering a haven for birds and
wildlife, it is an ideal working environment. >
