Western Sydney University

The University of Western Sydney (UWS) began operation on 1st January 1989, under the terms of the University of Western Sydney Act, 1988, passed by the New South Wales Parliament in December 1988. 

However, the predecessors of the University date back as far as 1891 with the establishment of the Hawkesbury Agricultural College.

Following incorporation into the University, the foundation network members were known as the 'University of Western Sydney, Hawkesbury' (UWS Hawkesbury) and the 'University of Western Sydney, Nepean' (UWS Nepean).

In 2014, the University of Western Sydney celebrated its 25th anniversary as a statutory institution. 

The University acknowledges over 200 cumulative years of bringing knowledge to life in Greater Western Sydney from our heritage and member institutions.
