Internationalisation
The University of Western Australia is strongly committed to internationalisation of all aspects of its activities， and takes seriously its responsibility to prepare its graduates to be active and critical participants in society.
UWA has formal agreements with 44 international institutions， promoting staff and student exchanges， collaborative research and exchange of teaching materials and methods. The University also teaches several of its programmes offshore， in Singapore， Indonesia and Hong Kong. Transnational programmes facilitate the development of UWA as a genuinely international university， and help to ensure that our students， whether at home or offshore， become world citizens.
By being part of a global learning network， strong links are developed with other nations and cultures. As such， “internationalisation” shapes the nature of our graduates and their careers. A capacity to draw from an educational experience that has many international dimensions will be of significant value to UWA graduates in the workplace. UWA graduates will be citizens of the globe.
In 2003， the University had 2，785 international students from nearly 80 countries around the world studying onshore and overseas， part of a total student body of 16，341.
