Why Indian students choose Wollongong
UOW combines a beach city, a train line to Sydney and regional migration benefits. Its entry rules for master's are among the most open of any university on this site, with a 50% bachelor's average for business and IT, and its Future Leaders Scholarship is one of very few full-tuition awards open to Indian coursework students. Engineering, computing, business and health are the main draws.

Fees in rupees
A UOW Master of Information Technology at about ₹30 lakh (A$45,000) a year is about ₹30.1 lakh; with the 30% postgraduate award, about ₹21.1 lakh. On-campus housing costs A$303–425 a week in 2027, from a catered twin room to a large studio.
Regional status for the 485: Category 2
Wollongong and the Illawarra form a Category 2 area. A UOW degree gives five regional points and, after two years living in a regional area, a second 485 of one year on top of the AI-ECTA stay. The business master's option taught in Sydney is not regional study.
Pathway
UOW College Australia runs English and pathway programmes and admits under-18 students. See pathway colleges.
Our assessment
A regional university with Sydney an hour and a half away, flexible master's entry and the chance of a full-tuition award. Apply for Future Leaders before 23 November 2026 and compare with Newcastle.
