In the postwar era of development and innovation, the then New South Wales University of Technology established a division in Wollongong to train the engineers and metallurgists of the local steel industry. That institution grew and evolved, and in 1975 legislation was passed in the parliament of New South Wales, establishing the University of Wollongong as an independent institution.

Student Reviews

Learned but not enough.

Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars

My experience studying in the university where I currently enrolled I must say it is good , I learned a lot from our professors and all the activities that we do my skills develop but even if our university have a lot of things to do there's always lack of equipment and that's the hindrance to us to learn more.
