USW - Get In On The Action

Did you know that 96% of USW graduates are in employment or further study within 15 months of graduation? * That’s because getting in on the action at USW means more than just attending lectures—it’s about gaining the practical skills, experience, and connections to take the next step towards your future career. * Graduate Outcomes Survey 2021/22

What makes us different

At USW, we always aim higher and work harder. We have to. We’re a relatively young University, with a very different approach – partnering with industries and communities to prepare students to shape the future for better.

We also believe that the best way to be career-ready when you graduate, is to study using the same facilities, software and techniques that you will use in your career. Which is why all of our facilities are purpose built and industry standard. Every course provides opportunities to undertake placements with leading companies.
