The University of Western Australia

The Crawley campus sits on the Swan River 15 minutes from the Perth CBD by bus, with Winthrop Hall and the Reid Library at the centre of a Mediterranean-style sandstone precinct. The university runs further teaching sites at the Albany rural clinical campus on the WA south coast and at the Claremont teacher education site. Accommodation runs through St George's College, St Catherine's, Trinity, University Hall and the on-campus Crawley village, with a strong residential cohort given the distance of WA students travelling from the wheatbelt and the Pilbara. The UWA Guild runs over 150 clubs and the Tavern is a long-standing campus venue. Most non-residential students live in Nedlands, Subiaco, Shenton Park, Mount Claremont and Crawley itself, with a major bus interchange at the campus entrance and the planned Causeway-to-UWA light rail still in development. Perth's climate gives almost year-round outdoor teaching weather, with a long warm summer break that runs almost from late November to mid-February.

Semester one runs late February to early June with a mid-semester break in mid-April and exams in early to mid-June. Semester two runs late July to early November with a mid-semester break in late September and exams in early to mid-November. Results release follows in early July and mid-December. UWA also runs a summer teaching period in November to February. Orientation week is in the week before semester one.
