The University of Wollongong (UOW) is an Australian public research university located in the coastal city of Wollongong, New South Wales, approximately 80 kilometres south of Sydney. Although its origins can be traced back to 1951, when a branch of the New South Wales University of Technology was established in Wollongong, ten years later it became the Wollongong College of the University of New South Wales, the university was given independent status only in 1975 thus becoming the University of Wollongong. Initially it offered technical education for metallurgists and engineers but now offers a wide variety of courses. Since its establishment, the university has conferred more than 120,000 degrees, diplomas and certificates. Its students, originally predominantly from the local Illawarra region, are now from over 140 countries, with international students accounting for more than 30 percent of total. As of 2017, the university had an enrolment of more than 32,000 students, including over 12,800 international students from 134 countries, an alumni base of more than 131,859 and over 2,400 staff members. 

 

In the 2019 Student Experience Survey, the University of Wollongong recorded the highest student satisfaction rating out of all Australian universities, and the second highest student satisfaction rating out of all New South Wales public universities, with an overall satisfaction rating of 81.

It is ranked 171-180th in the world by the 2020 QS Graduate Employability Ranking for the quality of its graduates. UOW also ranked 42nd in Times Higher Education Asia-Pacific University Rankings 2019.
