Our University
At UWA we believe that knowledge is just the start. We must impart it, share it and never cease to create it.
Mission, vision and objectives - UWA aspires to be recognised as one of the world's top 50 global universities by 2050. We provide world-class education, research and community engagement for
the advancement of the prosperity and welfare of our communities.
Operational structure: governance and management - A key feature of the University's governance and management system is
its strong collegial foundation. The University's peak academic body is
the Academic Board, established by the Senate under Statute 19 and chaired in 2015 by Associate Professor Cara MacNish.
