Each campus is also a support hub for students studying online with UOW, offering academic and practical support during their studies.
Anything is possible
The smaller cohort gave great depth to my experience, insights, encouragement and interactions. When you can see the passionate dedication of teachers, understand the importance of education, and share in that with like-minded people, anything is possible, and the learning is endless.

It's like a community
Being able to study close to home means a lot to me. I don’t have to travel away from my family, plus I can continue to work in the local hospital and be around my friends. The people on campus are all friendly and support each other. My fellow students and tutors make the campus feel like a community.

Motivated by my scholarship
Receiving a scholarship motivated me to maintain a credit average, cut back on the hours I worked per week, and helped with my university costs. I'm thankful to UOW for the confidence and willingness to help me achieve my goals.
