Experience life as a local

When you enrol at the University of Wollongong, you’re signing up to more than just a course, you will be joining the local Wollongong community.

To give you a taste of life as a UOW student and everything the Illawarra has to offer, join us at our Experience Wollongong Days on the 9th and 10th  December 2022.

A UOW current student will take you on a tour of the Wollongong campus, followed by a bus tour around Wollongong stopping at all the hot spots in the Gong.

You might even score a freebie or two including a complementary ticket to one of the Illawarra best attractions Jamberoo Action Park.

As part of your Experience Wollongong visit, we want to make sure you make the most out of your visit, but most importantly have FUN!

Every student who registers and attends, will receive one complimentary ticket to Jamberoo Action Park to utilise on a day that suits you over the summer season!
