OUW Review

Spending my undergraduate, honours and PhD in making at UOW. Actions speak louder than words, I reckon?

A great campus and with a untiring supportive staff to meet the students need.

Graduated in 2017 (MSc Logistics and Project Management). Enjoyed my time at UOW. Friendly staff, Lecturers and great campus and facilities. Highly recommended

I used to be a student 10 years ago, it used to be a very good uni back then.

I really enjoyed the campus life at UOW. There are so many students, staff from many different countries. Very wonderful and special experience

After a lot of research, I shortlisted SBS - UOW for comparatively affordable costs and quality education. I have applied for Master of Science (Logistics & Project Management) and yet to receive the offer letter, I will be having 2 years of experience in IT industry before joining this school in Trimester 3, 2016. But before may I know how's the job prospects in Australia or any other nation after completing the above mentioned course from SBS (considering only prior experience in IT but not in Logistics or Project Management)

Great university, positive experiences for this expat

If you get your PhD from this ridiculous institution just be aware that it will have no credibility, as a doctorate from the shonky university that awarded one to anti-vaxer Wilyman, makes your PhD worth less than a PhD from anywhere else in the country. Haha, save your time and money and go to a Sandstone University.

Very great place to study and enjoy.. you can spend good time here.. Totally loved this place..

Loved UOW, I am about to graduate from a commerce degree and the uni is so clean, modern and the lecturers are very helpful especially during stressful exam periods. You'll love the relaxed vibe of it because it is not so busy and in the middle of CBD.

Good food and 5 dollars for 4 coke amazing mess hall

Great facilities, and good place for learning, limited parking, try to read all the street signs to avoid fines.

Do not go to the College of UOW for studying English.

Great place to take kids up to 10years loved their market centre for the kids to engage in pretend play with the shopping trolleys and working cash registers. Educators awesome place for an excursion for preschoolers.

Heyyyyy diz is manu like to join in university of wollongong if anybody plz guide me catch me 918309559377 I'm from india

A pretty good uni. Although they can really give students some help with directions of building 19...
And also the dormitory's wall's noise cancelling is horrible. I live in the iHouse and I get waken up by people cooking in the kitchen EVERYDAY for AT LEAST ONCE between 1~3 am.
And also the dorm's internet service is absolutely TERRIBLE - very low bandwidth (I usually only get 67 kb/s with the highest record of 124 kb/s) and very expensive ($30 for 25G... seriously? even Telstra is cheaper!) considering the rent at the dorm is already unreasonably high.
And also my lecturers never/seldom interact with international students which kinda bothers me...
And one of them judges students by whether they use Macs and iPhones (although pretty sure he's joking for most of the times)
And the signal of Freedom@UOW on the top floor of the library is also horrible...
And this might seem racist but I've been verbally abused by Muslim students (judging on their way cloths and/or burka) twice on campus for not-being-a-Muslim
And lack of support for LGBTQ students.

But nevertheless, great uni, great staffs & great environments. And I love the uni's cinema!

Terrible administration. Can never have anything done correctly or on time.

I love it! UOW gave me a lot and it is a really beautiful uni.

Great University. I've been to a few tertiary institutes, this trumps them all in terms of atmosphere and the quality of the education. As a relatively new university, I expect UoW to grow greatly in ranking over the next few years.

Big University of the city with plenty of degrees offered. Modern facility, with a wide range of international students and teachers.

I had a school excursion in UOW for one day and it was really fantastic to have a look the wildlife of the campus. Early Start Discovery Space was inspiring and marvelous.

This is a great University. The facilities are great. The teachers are great. The support is also great. This is definitely a good University, definitely recommend coming here.

Good student experience, could have improved with the WiFi and not much phone reception.

Wonderful I like to be In Wollongong university to study 'Early childhood care and education'.

TRUST ME! Never go to this University if you wanna graduate from here. They will try every single way to fail you just because they need your money.
Don't you see the new buildings that were built in the campus. They are NOT for your lectures and study. They are just like business men who run a company. They invested your tuition to make more profits. If you wanna invest some in it, then study at this uni. If you study ICT or CS in UOW, I can promise you that the subject materials in this University are totally USELESS! The professors use materials from other uni to teach you, almost all lecture notes are created based on the Google search.
If you can learn those by searching materials on Google, why would you need to study at UOW. Furthermore, The assignments are extremely hard for you to accomplish if you don't have any programming background. They teach you programming like you have already known it. They tried their best to teach you as less ass possible on lectures but the assignments require more than you learnt from lectures.

I need to know courses regarding Environmental Engineering, would be really helpful if I get to know from the students of Environmental Department of the University of Wollongong.

Absolutely amazing place, unfortunately not many jobs around

I have done Bachelors in Business Sciences (Accounting & Finance) and am very interested to learn about Business Information Systems, ERP Softwares, their implementation in business environment, maintaining, expanding these systems.

Hence I got interest in UOW's Masters in Information Technology since it says it a program for students with any background. I need to know would I be at some serious disadvantage for not being of an IT background?

Or there would be too much programming involved in it?

The University of Wollongong is a tremendous place of learning. I've only been here a couple of weeks, and already I feel what everybody has been saying for years -- it's one of the best universities in the country, and possibly the world. With a huge variety of courses to choose from, you're sure to find something that suits you. I can't recommend the University of Wollongong enough. Five stars out of five.

Amazing University. very Relaxed atmosphere and it can bring out the best in you.

Visited once Relatively indisputable but powerful academic energy

This is not an educational institute, just a business company that failed students just to get more money. I had to waste $28000 for fees just in 6 months. Too much costly study but donot give value to the education, money is a matter for this university. I can t describe in some words that how I had to sacrifice with mental and financial torture. Some day, I was broken that much that I felt low confident, because after lot of hardwork and study, this uni failed me 2 times. And again forced me to enrol again for more money. Please guys never get erolled in this business company.

I need information about the MBA course and its fees.

Nice buildings. My friend will go there next year for his magister..

Really a great place to get your education and have a little fun as well.

I was interested in continuing my postgraduate at UOW. but after reading all the reviews, I was disappointed and undermined my interest to study here. sorry, I didn't visit UOW.

Theres no doubt that UoW is a VERY GREAT UNIVERSITY. :D

Good experience and lots of student activities going to keep you busy. Degree programmes is one of the best in Australia and the University attracts students from all over Asia.

I have been supporting University of Wollongong over the past few years on engineering simulation and how to extend the capability in the betterment of society. I must agree the facility that has been created within the uni is second to none. It has sophisticated robotic cells, well equipped manufacturing facility, well established laboratories all within the campus. The executive team is well aware of the current needs of the industry and are not leaving any stone un-turned . All the best.

Applied for course in masters of engineering. They dont bother to reply any emails. Bad customers service.

Really close with Natures, i might say. I went there to borrow a book from a friend. Very quiet and enjoyable for studying. Also, it has University Cinema for weekend short getaway

Greedy institution. It all comes down to money with this university. Excessive fees, mismanagement of one's privacy by incompetent staff members and a terrible administration that can never have anything done correctly and on time. Very disappointing!

Honestly love the place, but reception is pretty ordinary. Vodafone carries through most of the place, telstra everywhere, but most carriers have it rough. I'm testing amaysim tomorrow.

The University has lots to offer any visitor with beautiful pathways through great gardens. It is adjacent to the Botanical Gardens.
The uni offers the full range of faculties and facilities

Hello!! I am dee from Burma. I will give you little info about UOW.One thing I like about uow uni is I can always catch free bus around the city or to the UOW. The people are so helpful especially to international student. You will not want to miss your O weeks, it's the best week ever you can have lots of free food and join to the community clubs. I honesty rate ***** stars.

uni has helped many students during covid19 crisis. Moreover, uni always happy to solve students' queries

Awesome and fun day for the kids! Very educational and interactive.

Uni is located in a beautiful natural surrounding with trees and birds.. love the place

Manicured leafy campus with plenty of cafes and open space to hang out.

As a mature aged student i was very apprehensive and somewhat anxious about attending university. But wollongong university has changed my views on that matter entirely. World class education located in a tranquil ,relaxed learning environment. No regrets whatsover. I now plan on furthering my studies even more. Thankyou univesity of wollongong,the whole university experience hasn't been as "scary" as i thought it would be :)))

Unfourtunately, I did not have a great experience at UOW. Although I had some great lecturers during my time, a number of academics and most of my tutors were quite unprofessional. They lacked interest, experience and education. The tutorials did not have a proper structure and it felt like we were doing nothing most times.
It is also not a great University to go to if you are from overseas, My friend and I experienced racism towards us, whcih is is unacceptable.
I strongly regret attending this University. However, I hope that things have imporved at UOW.

This school does not wish for their students to graduate. All the 1* reviews are more genuine than the 5* ones, since the 5* ones offer nothing but a mere generic statement saying how great the school is compared to any other school.

I was a student here 4 years ago, and the teachers did nothing but create problems for me. I knew what I was doing. I was an international student but I had a solid English background. However, the teachers constantly oppressed the student, ensuring that they do not score above 70%. It's almost a trend throughout the school, and the vast majority of students acknowledge this. Furthermore, when you ask the teachers to give you a reason for his/her unreasonable grading, he/she will just get mad and give you some bad reason such as "the whole essay is wrong", or "the formatting is entirely wrong".

Brilliant learning environment with the most passionate teachers. The school is growing from strength to strength.

Fantastic place to study, but the mobile phone reception and data speeds are shocking there!! Ask any student. Major upgrades are needed.

Clean campus, spent 4 years and recently graduated, enjoyed my time, and pain

I got suspended 1 week before final exams and my apparent graduation. I am an International student. I lost my money, I lost my MASTERS DEGREE, I lost everything because bunch of 50 year olds decided that I can't help with assignmets to some one else. THEN AFTER SUSPENSION THEY CANCELLED COURSE MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO EVEN RE-ATTEND IT! You are definetely now welcoming international students. I think SMH and some local newspaper gonna love the story. I will call every name, I remembered everyone from every comitee meeting. I also will prevent as much students as possible to even think about visiting this uni. The only good about uni is some teachers, but administration and top managment - they must be put to name and shame, and I will do everything that in my strenght. REMEMBER, 1 WEEK BEFORE FINALS AND APPARENT GRADUATION! SUSPENDED!! TOP SCORE STUDENT!!! WITHOUT ANY VALID EVIDENCE. You will not treat any international student like that after some good news stories, trust me.

Toxic management and workplace. Absolutely ridiculous.

Founded in 1951, University of Wollongong is a public research university located in the coastal city of Wollongong. Nice and clean surrounding....... building structures and facilities are also good....... helpful staff and professors. Tuition fee is also moderate for international students as compared to other good universities in Australia. Huge campus and very close to North Wollongong Station. University buses also run to and fro from station to university at no cost..... no doubt one of the best university in Australia

I(international student) have applied for the course of masters in medicinal chemistry more than a month ago and I have not get any response from the University till now.I think they should reply me either it's acceptable or not.They are taking too much time.

Bad experience in uow
I pass exam with 29/50 but the tutor gave fail grade from just one assignment and i fail csit940 subject

UOW is one of the greatest universities in Australia.

I need information about
IT course at Wollongong
.....I will be very glad to get information about this by Wollongong university's students .
Thank you

A modern tree-filled campus with excellent learning facilities, delicious food and great coffee.

Very nice university. Natural atmosphere with lots of plants and foliage. Great facilities for food and recreation as well as a large library to take care of all your academia requirements.

i see all the reviews is good but i want to knw about post graduation in electrical engineering in this university . give me some suggestions guyz

Great Place to study, clean, plenty of study resources. Lots of places to get food and coffee, plus a bar for great food and alcohol range

One of the best decision of my life. I really enjoyed the time i spend here...excellent environment for international students

It's in a very quiet pretty area surrounded by lots of greenery, but there isn't much parking and the faculties are a little small. Overall it's an above average University that's perfect for those who don't want that crazy busy lots of people Uni experience

As a second year student, I rate University of Wollongong very highly for quality of education, atmosphere, and the campus itself. Also for studying abroad, the global mobility team (in charge of student exchange etc) is very good and helpful.

I got admission in UOW. Please tell me about the part-time jobs available for me.

Great modern uni. Good facilities that keep me coming back as an alumni.
