The Institution of Western Australia (UWA) is an Australian public research university located in the state of Western Australia. The main campus of the university is in Perth, the state capital, with a secondary campus in Albany and many smaller sites located around the state. The University of Western Australia was formed in 1911 by an act of the Western Australian Parliament and began educating students two years later. It is Australia's sixth-oldest institution and served as the sole university in Western Australia until the formation of Murdoch University in 1973. Because of its antiquity and prestige, UWA is considered one of the "sandstone universities," an informal label given to each state's oldest institution. The institution is also a member of numerous more official organizations, including the Group of Eight and the Matariki Network of Universities..Depending on the criteria employed, UWA has typically been rated in the bottom half or slightly outside the world's top 100 institutions in recent years. One Prime Minister of Australia (Bob Hawke), five Justices of the High Court of Australia (including one Chief Justice, Robert French, now Chancellor), one Governor of the Reserve Bank (H. C. Coombs), various federal cabinet ministers, and seven of Western Australia's eight most recent premiers are all graduates of UWA. Akshay Venkatesh, an alumni mathematician, was awarded the Fields Medal in 2018. The university had produced 106 Rhodes Scholars as of 2021. Two UWA academic members, Barry Marshall and Robin Warren were awarded Nobel Prizes for their contributions to science as a consequence of their work at the institution.

University of Western Australia History

Following the rejection of recommendations by a royal committee in September 1910, the institution was founded in 1911. The first campus, which welcomed its first students in March 1913, was located on Irwin Street in Perth's central business district and comprised of various buildings between Hay Street and St Georges Terrace. Because many of the buildings on Irwin Street had corrugated iron roofs, it was also known as "Tin Pan Alley." These structures housed the university campus until 1932, when it was transferred to its current location in Crawley. Sir John Winthrop Hackett, the university's founding chancellor, died in 1916 and donated property that, after 10 years of meticulous management, generated £425,000, significantly more than projected.. This enabled the main structures to be built. Many of the university's structures and landmarks carry his name, including Winthrop Hall and Hackett Hall. Furthermore, he requested that numerous scholarships be provided since he did not want ambitious students to be discouraged from studying because they could not afford to. During UWA's first decade, there was debate regarding whether the objective of free education could be reconciled with significant expenditure on professorial chairs and faculties. In 1921, a "old student" expressed his dissatisfaction with the fact that there were 13 faculties servicing just 280 pupils. a relic of the original structures survives to this day in the form of theThe "Irwin Street Building," so named from its previous location. It was brought to the new site in the 1930s and served a variety of purposes until its restoration in 1987, when it was moved across campus to James Oval. The structure has recently functioned as a Senate conference chamber and is now used as a cricket pavilion and university records office. Both the National Trust and the Australian Historic Council have designated the building as a heritage site. The Doctorate of Philosophy degree was established by the university in 1946, and the first award was presented in October 1950 to Warwick Bottomley for his study on the chemistry of native plants in Western Australia.
