Virtual UWS Student Showcase 2020

Welcome to the virtual UWS Student Showcase 2020 - highlighting just some of our students' work and research across UWS campuses.

Prof Craig Mahoney

I’m delighted to welcome you to our virtual Student Showcase, which celebrates just a small selection of the fantastic research and study activities our students have undertaken during academic year 2019/2020. 

With examples drawn from our four academic Schools, our students’ diverse, industry-relevant and innovative work reflects the incredible efforts of UWS undergraduates and postgraduates during the past year. During recent months, these endeavours have also seen students and colleagues joining forces to support national efforts against coronavirus, as demonstrated on our UWS Together page.

I know I speak on behalf of the UWS community when I say we’re enormously proud of our students, across each of our five campuses, and I hope you enjoy this showcase of a sample of their excellent work.

Professor Craig Mahoney
Principal and Vice-Chancellor
