In the east coast of Australia, lies Australia's 9th largest city, Wollongong, located just south of Sydney in the Illawarra region of New South Wales. Thanks to Studylink, whom introduced me to the University of Wollongong (UOW) where its not just about a degree... BUT the opportunity to lay the foundation for new friendships, building up confidences, igniting imaginations, and improving one's career prospects.

 UOW's student population from diverse backgrounds is the first step to international networking where one has the chance to meet up with friends across the globe. The transition into a whole new world at UOW where independence is heavily encouraged further enhanced one’s independence and confidence. Last but not least, UOW’s five-star rankings for Research Intensity, Graduate Rating, Staff Qualifications, Getting a Job, Positive Graduate Outcomes and Graduate Starting Salaries together with two consecutive wins of the Australian University of the Year Awards 1999/2000 and 2000/2001 in Outstanding Research and Development Partnerships and Preparing Graduates for the E-World heightens one’s career prospects.
