Education at Western,Education at Western

Students are at the centre of everything we do

We understand our students deeply — their attitudes to education, future aspirations, and their expectations of Western. Our learning is flexible and digital to fit around them, recognising that education is just one of the many balls they’re juggling.

We're building the next generation of global citizens

All Western students are empowered to understand the global challenges facing the world and the role they can play in rising to meet them. Our curriculum and programs are designed to support sustainability education and Sustainable Development Goals awareness across disciplines.

We're future-focused and innovative in our learning and teaching approaches

Rapidly developing technology is creating new challenges and opportunities for education. We’re at the forefront of this transformation. Our outstanding educators are ready to adapt and embrace emerging technologies.

Our industry partnerships bring the real world into the classroom

From industry placements to in-class projects, guest lectures and fieldwork, our students are exposed to what it’s like to work in a range of areas from their very first year.

Our leaders champion what matters to our students, staff and partners

With significant industry and higher education experience, our learning and teaching leadership team is shaping Western’s transformative impact. They’re champions of sustainability, inclusivity, and collaboration, and are embedded in the sector and our region.

We’re home to some of Australia’s best learning facilities

Our students learn in industry-standard facilities, from labs to recordings studios. Our attractive and modern campuses create welcoming environments for our students to learn, connect and grow.
