Abstract

The University of Western Sydney (UWS) is, in the Australian context, a young university. In 2014 it is also a large and increasingly prominent university with more than 42,000 students, continuing strong student demand, excellent student outcomes and high performing and highly regarded areas of research. The current success and prominence of UWS was made possible through the merger of its constituent colleges in 2,000. Where once it was a complex and contested federation, UWS is now a highly productive unified institution experiencing the benefits of fundamental and far-reaching change to its structure and organisation.
