The University of Western Australia | 01 THE UWA BUSINESS SCHOOL SITS ON THE BANKS OF THE SWAN RIVER IN PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA “The Master of Commerce at the UWA Business School is informative, engaging and exciting. I like that this course gives insight into Australian and global business and engages students through various workshops and seminars.

In particular, the professors, staff, and other students with whom I had a chance to interact are genuinely caring and supportive in both my academic studies and future career in financial advisory. I am really enjoying my study experience at the UWA Business School.”
