University of Western Australia Rankings 2026

The highest salary is offered in mining sector for FIFO roles, about 110,000 AUD and lowest salary is 75,000 AUD if in perth CBD locations.

• My husband was already here, so I never faced the accommodation challenge, but I know people who faced the housing crisis and the rents are drastically high in recent times. The university international student centre can help in finding accommodations within campus or outside or Facebook community groups can also provide references to shared accommodations.

• Almost no Indian gets a job within 6 months; most of them take 1-2 years to finally land a job.
• The average salary is around 80k per year for people who do get it.
• The gap between the salaries is not that much; round about every job and company gives somewhat the same salary, ranging from 70 to 120k. Everybody applies online.

• You can either rent a house/room somewhere just like in India or live in a student accommodation that is not part of the university.
• Finding a house is the toughest thing in Australia, though.
• The only tip would be to go somewhere where you already know a few people who live there, so that you can get some immediate help in getting accommodation.

There is no post study placements offered by the Universities in Australia. It is the responsibility of the student or individual to get a job for himself. Of course there is an availability for guidance from the placements team. But it is the responsibility of the individual to apply and get into the job. Unlike India, there is no such thing called campus placements or recruitments.

Good.

Unlike in India where the companies come to the campus directly to hire students, such notion is not followed in Australia. The entire process of getting a job is done off campus. Surely companies will visit the campus through networking events where you can directly speak to the employees, get tips on how to prepare yourself or even impress them enough that they refer you for hire.

Overall experience is good enough. I feel industry ready and have confident that I will get hired soon after graduation. I had much fun studying here and still having it. As a person I grew more presentable, more professional.

I was in my last semester and companies started contacting us and recruiting us for jobs. Which is great. Industries do not recruit on the basis of marks of individuals but through interviews and knowledge.

UWA is one of the best universities in Australia as it falls in the group of 8 universities in Australia. Also, UWA is known for its research and is the only uni in western Australia to be on such a high level for my course

Architects are the best jobs today. They create new innovations every day using their skills and creations which help in the advancement of not only society but the whole world. I am looking forward to a world-standard and interdisciplinary education in a multicultural city. My academic background and professional inclination have laid a strong foundation for my pursuit of higher education. I am sure that an education at the University of Western Australia will translate into a career in India and lay a strong foundation for my career path.

I am enrolled at the University of Western Australia, Perth for a few reasons. Firstly, it is highly ranked (92 globally as per QS Ranking, 2021) and also a part of the prestigious group of 8 universities. Secondly, Perth is a fast-growing city with great potential, learning from this potential will be a great experience. The course structure at UWA covers all aspects of my major and UWA graduates consistently higher than the national average starting salary and state graduate employment rates. The admission process at UWA was also fair and simple. I comfortably meet the admission criteria. Perth also offers a high standard of living. It offers students a 40% discount on all public transport facilities and also enjoys a low crime rate.

The placements are extremely impressive which is because of the relationships that UWA maintains in all the industries which is hard but UWA does this with ease. All types of job roles have been placed through UWA.

I attended multiple university fairs and applied to 3 universities. I choose UWA over the other 2 universities because of the course that it was offering. I missed minimum scholarship but a very small margin whereas, I was getting 25% scholarship from other universities, still, I choose this because of its reputation, faculty and ranking. I didn't pay any application fees. I scored 83% in my 10th, 84% in my 12 and 3.2 CGPA out of 4 in my undergraduate degree from NMIMS ( no 1 ranking B school in India). I am very happy with my decision.

UWA was my first preference, chosen solely because unit choices are super flexible and I could choose electives in languages such as Japanese in addition to my majors. Also chosen because of the variety of units offered in my chosen majors Giving a great perspective of your chosen major.

It was the closest for me to travel to from home. It is also the best world recognized university near me where I can choose to work anywhere in the world and have my degree recognized. I also have other friends and past students who go there that recommended it.

It had the double major I was looking for (pharmacy and neuroscience). It has the highest university ranking in WA and therefore presumed it would be the best. Family and friends have been before and have recommended it to me.
