Does UWS have a main campus? (1 Viewer)

Does UWS have a main campus? Thanks.

 

[Demandred]

Nope, not in a strict sense, its split all over the place, each campus specialises in different faculties. But the main administration is at Penrith, Werrington South I think... not too sure.

What do you mean by main campus? UWS is not like the traditional city unis where everything is on one campus, instead, for ease its split up.

Admin is at Penrith.
Then each other campus is split up, depending on what subjects are taught. Eg:
Hawkesbury is environmental, agricultural, tourism and some science
Parra is law, science and business, which is similar to campbelltown, however campbelltown also has tourism management.
Bankstown is languages etc
Penrith is humanities and design, communication etc
Blacktown is business, marketing etc - similar to parra in the business sense, but smaller.

Edit: The campus where your course is taken becomes your home campus - this will be your own main campus (in a funny way )

yeah but they don't have most of the more competitive/so called "harder/more prestigious" whatever you want to call em, courses so no - penrith isn't the 'main campus'..

especially since the "Penrith" campus doesnt have any classes the Penrith region campuses fine you may say tey are the main ones - but they are multiple campuses so it cannot be the main campus


anyways - there isn't one - the uni's designed that way on purpose so different faculties are spread out over different places to meet demand and offer a close proximity uni to more people...

however - if the pointles plans go ahead to build-up Çampbelltown by/for 2020 it will definitely be regardedas the 'main campus'... which is another issues unto itself since a shitload of people who want to go to UWS don't want to go to Campbelltown and want to go to Parra or Bankstown generally and go to other unis rather than travel to campbelltown....

Hawkesbury.

Well, I know, I like to think that....

I thought it was Werrington North that was the Admin campus.

yeh it is but there is also a "Penrith" campus - just a bunch of office-type buildings - also an 'admin campus' in a way

Penrith South DC is the main campus

I think you will find that 'Penrith South DC' is just an Australia Post Distibution Centre and has nothing to do with UWS at all. They simply use a locked bag at the centre for their mailing address.

lol

singapore campus actually isn't too bad - got relatives there

good way to do an 'exchange but not' program coz it doesn't stuff up uni stuff coz the same courses run there as here although obviously - the range available is waay smaller

 

[Cape]

Too late for me to do an exchange anyway.

Stupid god damn whole year research project

On a brighter note, only about 26 learning weeks and I'm out of UWS! Yay!

but you're the kinda person it'd be perfect for

coz technically - you're just changing campuses - so its an exchange but not as in - you're in another country - but not as you're still technically at uws and able to continue whatever you were doing whilst in aus

Singapore isn't high on my visitation list. Maybe its cause I'm not Asian
