Your study options
Foundation studies
Designed specifically for international students, the UWA Foundation Program prepares you for a seamless transition to your first year at UWA.
Diploma programs
UWA College’s Diploma programs provide subject-specific guidance to prepare you for entry into the second year of your UWA undergraduate degree.
English language support
UWA College works closely with UWA’s Centre for English Language Teaching (CELT) to provide students with English language support through their Language and Communication Essentials (LCE) program.
I love the variety of class types and study places from UWA College being within the UWA campus itself. Walking to classes gets me ready for the day no matter how busy I am because of the nature I get to see on the way to class. I have also never experienced teaching this enriching.
