The University of Wollongong (informally known as Wollongong University or Wollongong), abbreviated as UOW, is a public research university located in the coastal city of Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia, approximately 80 kilometres south of Sydney. As of 2014 the University has an enrolment of over 30,000 students (including over 12,800 international students from 134 countries), an alumni base of over 112,000, and over 2,000 academic related staff.[7] As of 2015 Wollongong consistently ranks among the top 2% of universities in the world.[8]

In 1951 a division of the New South Wales University of Technology (known as the University of New South Wales from 1958) was established at Wollongong for the conduct of diploma courses.[9] In 1961 the Wollongong University College of the University of New South Wales was constituted and the College was officially opened in 1962.[10] In 1975 the University of Wollongong was established as an independent institution. Since its establishment, the University has conferred more than 100,000 degrees, diplomas and certificates. Its students, originally predominantly from the local Illawarra region, are now from over 140 countries, with international students accounting for more than 30 percent of total.[7]

The University of Wollongong has fundamentally developed into a multi-campus institution, three of which are in the Illawarra (Wollongong, Shoalhaven and Innovation Campus in North Wollongong), one in Sydney and one overseas in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The Wollongong Campus, the University's Main Campus, is on the original site five kilometres north-west of the city centre, and covers an area of 82.4 hectares with 94 permanent buildings including six student residences. In addition, there are University Education Centres in Bega, Batemans Bay, Moss Vale and Loftus as well as the Sydney Business School in the City of Sydney. The University also offers courses equally based on the Wollongong Campus in collaboration with partner institutions in a number of offshore locations including in Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong.[11][12]

History

The graduation ceremony (held in 1966) was held out of doors, a feature of the open-air ceremony of the Sixties

The University of Wollongong traces its origins to 1951.[13] The Foundation of the University was founded in 1951 when a division of The New South Wales University of Technology (currently known as the University of New South Wales, UNSW) was established in Wollongong. In 1962, the Division became the Wollongong College of the University of New South Wales.[14]

On the 1st January 1975, the New South Wales Parliament incorporated the University of Wollongong as an independent institution of higher learning consisting of five faculties (including Engineering, Humanities, Mathematics, Sciences and Social Sciences) with Professor Michael Birt as its inaugural Vice Chancellor. In 1976, Justice Robert Marsden Hope was installed as Chancellor of the University. As of 1982, the University amalgamated the Wollongong Institute of Higher Education which had begun life in 1962 as the Wollongong Teachers' College; thus, the merger formed the basis for a period of rapid growth in the 1980s.[15]

Years in history

In 1951, a foundation of the University of Wollongong was founded as a division of the New South Wales University of Technology in Wollongong, New South Wales. A decade later, the Division became the Wollongong College of the University of New South Wales.[14]

In 1975, the University of Wollongong gained its autonomy as an independent institution of higher learning by the New South Wales Parliament.

In 1977, the Faculty of Computer Science (currently known as the Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences) developed a version of Unix for the Interdata 7/32 called UNSW 01, this was the first non-PDP Unix.[16] In the late 70s, Tim Berners-Lee sourced TCP/IP software, an integral element of the World Wide Web, from the University of Wollongong.[17]

In 1981, Dr Ken McKinnon was appointed Vice Chancellor overseeing the amalgamation of the University with the Wollongong Institute of Education (also known as WIE) in 1982. The Wollongong Institute of Education had originated in 1971 as the Teachers College (renamed the Wollongong Institute of Education in 1973)[13] This merger formed the basis of the contemporary university.

In 1983, the Faculty of Commerce was established along with the School of Creative Arts, followed by the creation of the Faculty of Education in 1984. 1984 also saw the commencement of the new Wollongong University building program which led to the construction/opening of the Illawarra Technology Centre (1985), Kooloobong (1985, 1986, 1990), Weerona College (1986), Administration, Union Mall (now known as UniCentre), URAC (1987), multi-storey carpark (1990), and heated swimming pool (1990).[15]

In 1993, the University of Wollongong Dubai Campus in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates was established.

In 2000, the Shoalhaven Campus was opened at Nowra on the New South Wales South Coast.

In 2008, the University opened the first building at Wollongong Innovation Campus (abbreviated as iC) on a 20-hectare site at Brandon Park in Wollongong.[18] In August, the Faculty of Science Dean Professor Rob Whelan took up a new role as President of the University of Wollongong in Dubai.

In 2009, Chancellor Mike Codd AC announced his retirement after three four-year terms.[19] His replacement, effective on October 1, was Jillian Broadbent AO. Ms Jillian Broadbent, who has a banking background, is on the Board of the Reserve Bank of Australia; and has been a director of Qantas Airways Limited, Special Broadcasting Service and Australian Securities Exchange. She became the third Chancellor after Justice Robert Hope and Mr Michael Codd.

In 2010, New South Wales Health Minister Carmel Tebbutt opened the $30 million Illawarra Health and Medical Research Institute in July. In the Month of August, a $20 million building housing the Sydney Business School and the UOW/TAFE Digital Media Centre opened at the Innovation Campus, and the Centre was named the Mike Codd Building in honour of the former Chancellor Mr Michael Codd AC.

In 2012, the University of Wollongong hosted the independently organised TEDx (Technology, Entertainment, Design) event for a select group of 100 people on May 29. The Event (also referred to as TEDxUWollongong) saw some of researchers at the University sharing their life's work and passion for the cutting edge field of medical bionics; a field which is currently developing the next generation of the bionic ear, bionic eye and conduits that facilitate nerve repair for spinal cord damage.[20]

Overseas expansion

In 1993 the University of Wollongong in Australia opened what was to become the University of Wollongong in Dubai (UOWD) in the United Arab Emirates. Initially called the Institute of Australian Studies (IAS), this centre made UOW the first foreign university to open a campus in the UAE, and the first Australian tertiary institution represented in the Persian Gulf, as well as one of the earliest tertiary institutions founded in the UAE.[21] IAS initially offered English language programs, before becoming a 'feeder college' by 1995, where students completed part of a degree in Business or IT in Dubai before coming to Australia to complete their studies.[22] In 1999, it was the first foreign-owned institution in the world to be issued a licence from the Federal Government of the United Arab Emirates,[23] and was formally opened as University of Wollongong, Dubai Campus in October 2000. It was officially incorporated as University of Wollongong in Dubai in 2004 and at present it has approximately 3500 students from almost a hundred countries.[24][25]

After the years

In over 60 years the University has grown from a provincial feeder college with 300 students to an international university with over 30,000 students spread across three campuses and five access centres. Originally established as a provider of technical education for engineers and metallurgists required for the region's steel industry, and the University now offers a wide range of courses across five super faculties including the Faculty of Business, the Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences, the Faculty of Science, Medicine and Health, the Faculty of Social Sciences and, lastly, the Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts. These faculties incorporate 40 teaching units with over 900 members of academic staff and over 1,900 staff overall.

Since the University's foundation, the University has conferred more than 100,000 degrees, diplomas and certificates. Its students, originally predominantly from the local Illawarra region, are now from over 140 countries, with international students accounting for more than 30 percent of the total.[7]

The University of Wollongong consistently ranks among the top 2% of universities in the world.[8][48][49] Besides, The Good Universities Guide, an annual assessment of Australian universities which is published by Hobsons (a subsidiary of Daily Mail and General Trust plc.), named UOW the Australian University of the Year in 1999–2000 (joint winner) for "Outstanding Research and Development Partnerships" and again in 2000–2001 (joint winner) for "Preparing Graduates for the E-World". Additionally the University has scored a five out of five star rating every year since 1999 on 'Getting a Job', 'Positive Graduate Outcomes'.[50][51]

Controversy

In January 2016 the university awarded a PhD to conspiracy theorist and vocal anti-vaccinationist Judith Wilyman titled "A critical analysis of the Australian government’s rationale for its vaccination policy" in the Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts.[55] Wilyman’s supervisor for her PhD thesis is UOW social sciences Professor Brian Martin who has published a number of papers promoting anti-vaccination and other questionable views and who numerous medical academics and the AMA have questioned whether he had the necessary knowledge to supervise the Wilyman thesis.[56] The university has received much criticism over this decision from many different quarters.[57][58][59][60] The university has defended its decision to award this PhD citing ‘freedom of opinion’.[61][62] The Medical Journal of Australia criticised the university in awarding a PhD to a student "demonstrating a glaring lack of understanding of immunology and vaccine science."[63] Scientist David Gorski states it is "a thesis riddled with antivaccine tropes and pseudoscience".[64]

In reaction to UOW awarding the PhD to Judy Wilyman at least 65 UOW faculty members released a statement supporting vaccination and urging parents to get their children vaccinated,[65][66] which in turn was also supported by 11 medical research and clinical societies on behalf of 5,000 scientists and clinicians.[67] In Feb 2016 a statement from the RACP directly challenged the premise of Wilyman's PhD pointing out the TGA is the regulatory organisation responsive to the monitoring and investigation of adverse events and any significant concerns around vaccination safety.[68] Journalist Michael Brull writes that the PhD avoided rigorous and informed peer review by being conducted through UOW's Social Science Faculty rather than the Science, Medicine and Health Faculty. Reportedly this seemed the most effective way for Wilyman's vaccine claims to avoid serious scientific scrutiny prior to her award.[69]

In February 2014 the university received criticism over a similar incident in which they paid $3,000 for Judith Wilyman to travel to San Francisco to present a paper against the use of the HPV vaccine at a conference organised by the OMICS Publishing Group.[70][71]

Student life

Facilities

The Wollongong Undergraduate Students' Association produces the magazine Tertangala, and many other services including representation, advocacy and student support. Postgraduate representation is provided by the Wollongong University Postgraduate Association, a member of the Council of Australian Postgraduate Associations.

Wollongong UniCentre, an on-campus organisation and controlled entity of the University, provides the social and commercial infrastructure on the campus, administering the UniBar, student clubs and interest groups, food outlets, entertainment and activities, a books and news shop and other student services.

The geographical and social centre of the University is the Duck Pond Lawn, and its surrounding eateries and other facilities, including the UniBar. The UniBar serves alcoholic drinks and a small range of lunch foods. The UniBar building was opened by Colin Markham MP, Simon Zulian Student Rep, Nigel Pennington UniCentre GM and Gerard Sutton VC on 14 May 2001. The UniBar has since won numerous awards including the Major Award and the Public Building Award of the Architectural Design Awards held in Wollongong in 2003, the "ACUMA" award for Best New Campus Facility and the Master Builders Award for Excellence in Construction by Camarda and Cantril.[72]

In line with Commonwealth legislation introduced in October 2011, the University of Wollongong instated the Student Services and Amenities Fee. This fee was charged to student depending on their study load and location, and has been used to upgrade and subsidise existing facilities and install new facilities such as common barbecue areas.[73]
