Indigenous Students

UWA Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Residential programs

These intensive programs involve students staying at one of the university colleges on campus or at some other residential camp which allows secondary school students to make friendships with other Indigenous students who are also considering tertiary study, while also experiencing university life including attending lectures, labs and meeting university staff and Indigenous students who are currently studying at UWA.
