Established in 1911, The University of Western Australia (UWA) is the premier university in the State of Western Australia. UWA is a medium-sized comprehensive university with 16,450 students including 2,842 international
students (both in Australia and offshore) from 85 countries around the world.

A member of the prestigious 'Group of Eight', the University is one of the country's top research institutions. UWA has an international reputation for excellence and enterprise, setting high academic standards and producing graduates able to work both nationally and internationally in a competitive global environment.

Located only minutes from the centre of Perth, the UWA campus with its impressive architecture and extensively landscaped grounds is widely acknowledged as one of the most beautiful in Australia. The architecture is a harmonized combination of traditional buildings, intermingled with state-of-the-art teaching and research facilities, well-equipped lecture theatres and laboratories.

UWA's extensive range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses is being developed continually to ensure they reflect the needs of a changing world and accommodate new research and employment opportunities.

As a world-class research university, UWA offers exciting opportunities for higher degree research programs, while our postgraduate coursework programs allow graduates to 'add value' to their existing qualifications and achievements. UWA offers a broad range of postgraduate coursework qualifications ranging from one-semester graduate certificate courses to four-semester master's degrees.

The Centre for English Language Teaching (CELT)
The Centre for English Language Teaching is an integral part of the University and offers accredited ELICOS programmes in General English, Business English and English for Academic Purposes as well as preparation for internationally recognised examinations such as the IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC and the Cambridge examinations.

CELT also offers an English Language Bridging Course for students who have a UWA offer conditional on an English language requirement. This course helps students learn the English language, study and research skills that will help them cope with studying in an English language university.
