UOW Dubai has been in operation for more than 20 years. In 2015 UOW became the first ever overseas-based university to enter Hong Kong when it was selected to take custodianship of the Community College of City University Hong Kong (CCCU) and transform CCCU into an international campus.

The University also has three campuses in Greater Sydney (Sydney CBD, Southern Sydney at Loftus and South West Sydney at Liverpool), as well as campuses at Nowra, Batemans Bay and Bega on the NSW South Coast, and at Moss Vale in the Southern Highlands.

Facilities

With a focus on better health outcomes, early childhood research, sustainability and scientific advancement, UOW’s Wollongong campus is home to several research facilities that integrate UOW researchers, students and the community to work towards solving local and global challenges.

Already home to more than 15 organisations, UOW’s Innovation Campus (iC) is a 33-hectare research and technology precinct located in Wollongong. It encourages innovative organisations from around the world to co-locate with UOW’s leading research institutes in a collaborative campus environment.

Real world learning

UOW is recognized as a global leader in discovery and learning and embraces boAth technology and practical learning to maximise student success. The University works in tandem with community partners enabling learning through immersion in the workforce and it collaborates with educators, professionals, researchers and students to inform when, how and why students learn. UOW is consistently adapting to changing workforce needs and new industries, offering face to face learning, distance education and online courses.

On the horizon

The University of Wollongong's planned Health and Wellbeing Precinct, covering 7.5 hectares of the Innovation Campus, will include Australia's first primary and community health clinic to offer truly integrated, patient-centred healthcare, as well as aged-care and retirement living facilities, and research and teaching programs. Construction is planned to commence in 2020, with the first facilities operational by 2022.

The new Molecular Horizons building currently under construction on the Wollongong Campus and due for completion in 2019, will provide scientists with world-leading technologies to help undercover ways of detecting and attacking disease. With these technologies, there is potential for researchers to create personalised medicine to treat cancer and reverse Alzheimer’s disease.
