<p>At The University of Western Australia (UWA), we understand that the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma focuses on inquiry, intercultural understanding and creativity. Given the rigorous, integrated nature of the IB curriculum, IB students are well prepared for university and will already be on an educational pathway consistent with UWA&rsquo;s educational principles.</p>
<p>Our innovative course structure is based on a comprehensive international model and is wide-ranging and flexible, allowing you to be creative in choosing your pathway to success. You can choose from more than 65 course majors and will undertake units which have a global or cultural focus, such as a language or a Student Exchange or Study Abroad program. This ensures that just like the IB program, a degree from UWA equips you with a global outlook as well as critical analytical skills.</p>
<p>In addition to the career benefits of a UWA degree, you&rsquo;ll enjoy an outstanding student experience. Our picturesque campus is located on the Swan River near Perth&rsquo;s CBD, and we have more than 125 societies and clubs for you to choose from, ensuring you can enjoy a vibrant social, cultural and sporting life as a UWA student.</p>
</div>
<p>We believe it is important to accurately reflect IB scores in UWA admissions standards and have made significant adjustments to reflect the IB curriculum including students&rsquo; study of a second language and standard or higher-level mathematics. We welcome all applicants who have completed the IB program and who meet the following requirements:</p>

Master of Advanced Social Work

<p>The University of Western Australia (UWA) was established in 1911 as the State's first university. It was also the first free university in the British Empire, actively promoting equal access to tertiary education for all social classes.</p>
<p>The University was established due largely to the efforts of Sir John Winthrop Hackett, who had a long-standing vision and passion to provide Western Australia with a university. Proprietor and editor of The West Australian newspaper, he chaired a Royal Commission which recommended the establishment of a university. Later he was the founding Chancellor and bequeathed more than &pound;425,000 (the equivalent of more than $32 million today) to the University.</p>
<p>There was consensus among legislators of the time that the University not only be free, but also provide tertiary education of a practical nature to help develop Western Australia's pioneering economy. At the time of the University's foundation, Perth's population was just 121,000 and its economy relied mostly on agricultural, pastoral and mining industries.</p>
