University of Western Australia - Crawley Campus - Your new home whilst with ACE.

The 65 hectare Crawley campus is widely acclaimed for the beauty of its setting at Matilda Bay on the Swan River and for its heritage listed grounds and buildings.

Yet its beautiful leafy green surrounds are only 5km away from Perth’s CBD. See our map of the campus. We are within walking distance to scenic King’s Park and an abundance of cafes, restaurants, shopping facilities, transport. UWA is also only a short bus ride from the Indian Ocean and many of the world’s finest beaches.

We have our own Guild Village that offers a range of professional services including medical services, optometry, banking and printing. We have a variety of services including art galleries, museums, gyms, swimming pool, places of worship, child care centres and support services.

We’ve got the grounds and location covered, we have state-of-the-art equipment, and exceptional leaders excelling in their area of passion to world class standards.

If you have the energy and enthusiasm after your cricket development programme there’s an activity for everyone. Imagine yourself...

• ...swimming in the pool, rowing on the Swan River, running in King’s Park
• ...attending a free public lecture to satisfy your curiosity or listening to freelunchtime concerts
• ...taking a class in belly-dancing, fencing, orienteering, abseiling, kayaking, graphic design, or flute, just because you can!
• ...having a friendly game of basketball, tennis or soccer with your ACE mates
• ...wandering through the art galleries and pondering over Indigenous and other works of art
• ...walking along the river foreshore stopping to sip coffee and watch the yachts sail past
• ...joining an outreach project and making a difference
• ...taking a picnic hamper and sitting under the Norfolk Pines on a starry summer night and watching the latest Festival film

Now that’s life at UWA!

ABOUT UWA

UWA offers a broad and balanced coverage of disciplines in the arts, sciences and major professions across the institution’s nine faculties. The University’s high quality teaching and research ensures its position as the university of choice for the state’s highest achieving school leavers, as well as attracting high-calibre undergraduate and postgraduate students nationally and globally. UWA graduates are more likely to gain full time employment in comparison to other State universities and, in many fields they fare better than graduates from other Australian universities.

The University has over 18,000 students and over 3,500 staff. It has nearly $71 million in external research income and $76 million in bequests and donations. UWA has formal agreements with over 50 international institutions for promoting staff and student exchanges, collaborative research and exchange of teaching materials and methods. The University also teaches several of its programmes offshore. Transnational programmes facilitate the development of UWA as a genuinely international University and help to ensure that our students, whether at the home campus or elsewhere, become world citizens.

In addition to researchers and academics, a range of professionals contribute to the University’s performance. UWA actively encourages commercially orientated professionals to influence and support continued improvement and growth in a range of business support functions including finance, information technology, urban design and planning, and human resources.

During your Australian Cricket Experience you will be living and training in one of the most beautiful Cities in the world. Check out these locations and visit the Extend Your Stay section of this web site.

You may be walking, running or cycling. Sometimes on the golden sand, other times on the coastal path but always with the beautiful Indian Ocean by your side. Your training schedule may be a beach run from Scarborough Beach to City Beach; another day could bring a bike ride from Hillary's Boat Harbour to the port of Fremantle.

TRIGG BEACH/SCARBOROUGH BEACH/CITY BEACH/COTTESLOE BEACH

The clear blue warm waters of the Indian Ocean will be where you try out your body boarding and surfing skills. You may also want to try your hand with the kayak or for the more adventurous have a go at windsurfing or kitesurfing.

On these beaches you will do your beach sprints, kick boxing and volley ball. What better location and in the warmth of the Perth sunshine for stretch and yoga and cooling down in the clear, blue, warm Indian Ocean?
