About the area
The Division of Student Life sits within the UWA Education Portfolio, overseen by the Deputy Vice Chancellor of Education.

The scope of services centre on the student journey, from the provision of student programs and activities that support and promote access to UWA, to student enrolment, course planning, transition, and progression through the lifecycle of study to graduation.
