UWA Vice-Chancellor Professor Alan Robson said Expo was an important opportunity for the University to present the campus to the community and enable prospective students and their families to explore career options, research opportunities, scholarships and entry requirements.

"Our University is recognised internationally as an excellent teaching and research institution," Professor Robson said.  "The high standing the University enjoys is the result of a commitment to quality and excellence."
