Its enviable reputation for excellence in teaching and research draws talented students and resident and visiting academics from around Australia and more than 70 nations. UOW is the first Australian university to win consecutive Australian University of the Year Awards - in 1999-2000 for Outstanding Research and Development Partnerships, and in 2000- 2001 for Preparing Graduates for the E-World. The Faculties of Arts, Commerce, Creative Arts, Education, Engineering, Health and Behavioural Sciences, Informatics, Law and Science constitute the academic structure of the university. UOW is one of the largest sites of information technology and telecommunications research in the Southern Hemisphere. Diverse areas of expertise also includes superconductors, intelligent polymers, steel processing and products, welding and welded structures, microwave technology, smart foods, policy development, biomedical research, medical radiation physics, multimedia, and environment research. The University emphasises flexibility and market-relevance in its programs. UOW intentionally remains mid-sized (around 14,000 students) to provide a personal approach in its partnerships – with students, industry and government. Students are actively encouraged to develop skills in problem solving, information technology, communication, teamwork, critical thinking, and importantly, learning-for-life, to support them in their professional development. UOW conducts highly successful student exchange and study abroad programs. Exchange links connect Wollongong with universities in the United States, Britain, Europe and South East Asia. Double degree programs offer maximum flexibility so students can pursue their main interests while, at the same time, enhancing their career possibilities. Students can also take summer session courses on top of their normal course load, as an opportunity to complete their degree earlier or take additional subjects, which again might enhance their career opportunities. The university has satellite campuses operating in Sydney, Nowra, Batemans Bay, Bega, Oatley*, Moss Vale* and offshore in Dubai. * From 2002. The Wollongong University College (WUC) also offers a range of certificates and diplomas in English language and academic studies.

Situated between the mountains and the Pacific Ocean, the leafy campus offers an ideal study environment. The Faculty of Education’s characteristic approach to curriculum and delivery is based on the provision of a caring and supportive environment for the beginning teacher where the fostering of reflective teaching is a prime focus. Pre-service courses aim to provide a blend of theory and practice, and are presented using contemporary presentation methods and curriculum models. The Faculty considers itself to be at the forefront of physical and health education, language education and educational information technology teaching. Other curriculum areas such as creative arts, and environmental science education are committed to incorporating innovative practices. Each program provides compulsory practice teaching experience to give students the opportunity to gain confidence in teaching situations. Of particular note is the opportunity to undertake practice teaching overseas.
