The University of Western Sydney nurtures a distinctive, high-impact research culture, committed to enhancing our region's cultural, economic, environmental and educational development, and responsive to contemporary challenges in Greater Western Sydney and beyond.

We are recognised for our capacity to carry out successful collaborative research partnerships and for our work with partners from industry and from the government and community sectors.

This recognition is reflected by our performance in competitive national research funding, for example UWS ranks among the most successful universities in Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage grants funding and is strongly represented in ARC Discovery grants funding.

Our research centres and programs attract international, national and local interest and contribute to developments that are making a difference in contemporary life.

To build on our research strengths, we are committed to developing future generations of researchers through research training programs for postgraduate research students, postdoctoral fellows, and early career researchers. Our research commitment is also supported by a ten-year research investment program.
