Virtual UWS Student Showcase 2021

Welcome to the virtual UWS Student Showcase 2021 - 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 2020/2021. 

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.

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.

Principal and Vice-Chancellor
