WA is home to a diversity of traditional and modern universities, many of them in and around Perth, some with campuses located in the most beautiful natural beauty spots in the state, for example, Albany, Broome and Bunbury. If you are looking for a university to make your home, read on to see what WA has to offer.

Curtin University

Curtin University is WA’s largest university, and houses Australia’s third largest international student population. Several campuses are within the Perth metropolitan area, while another is situated in Kalgoorlie, WA’s historic gold-mining town 600 km from Perth. Bentley Campus is the main Curtin campus. Located in the metropolitan area, it exhibits a mixture of stunning modern buildings with original 1960s architecture. The CBD campuses offer a Law School and a Business School, and maintain strong industry links within the CBD. Curtin is the best university in Australia for Mineral and Mining Engineering, and the third best in the world. The university is also deeply involved in Australia’s exciting and largest science project, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA). Just recently completed, the SKA will allow scientists to collect information from galaxies previously beyond reach, offering groundbreaking study and employment possibilities in the fields of science and maths. Curtin accommodation is on-campus or off-campus through the Housing Advisory Service.

Edith Cowan University

Edith Cowan University (ECU) has three campuses—two in the Perth metropolitan area, Mount Lawley and Joondalup, and one in the south-west city of Bunbury, the South West Campus. Mount Lawley Campus is only minutes away from the Perth CBD and is home to the renowned Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts. Joondalup Campus is 25 km north of Perth, close to rail and freeway transport. It displays striking modern architecture and is home to the West Coast TAFE and the Western Australian Police Academy. The South West Campus is situated at the gateway to Western Australia’s stunning South West region, known for its forests (some of the tallest trees in the world), surf, wineries and dolphins. The South West Campus includes the South West Regional College of TAFE and the Bunbury Health Campus. ECU is known as a leader for developing alternative entry pathways to higher education. On-campus accommodation is available at all campuses. Off-campus accommodation can be organised through the ECU Village Website.

Murdoch University

Murdoch University’s main campus on South St is just 20 minutes away from either Perth city or the historic port city of Fremantle, home of the ‘cappuccino strip’. The South St campus features expanses of beautiful native bushland and agricultural spaces and is home to Murdoch’s flagship undergraduate course, Veterinary Science. Other specialisations are Nursing and Law. Two more campuses are located at Rockingham and Mandurah, coastal towns south of Perth, offering specialist health courses (with state-of-the-art nursing education facilities) and programs supporting alternative university entrance. Accommodation is offered in Murdoch University Village on-campus. Alternatively, the Murdoch Guild can help you find independent accommodation in the surrounding areas.

University of Notre Dame

The University of Notre Dame is a private Catholic university with WA campuses in the historic limestone port city of Fremantle, and Broome, the remote pearl-harvesting town in the north-west of WA at the western edge of the stunning Kimberly region. Fremantle Campus offers courses across a range of undergraduate and postgraduate disciplines, while the Broome Campus is home to the Nulungu Research Institute, offering expertise in native title, governance, climate change, sustainable farming and futures, and alternative food production, among others. On-campus and off-campus accommodation is available at the Fremantle and Broome campuses through the online accommodation portal. Notre Dame also has a campus in Sydney.

University of Western Australia

The University of Western Australia (UWA) is situated on the Swan River in the picturesque Perth suburb of Crawley. It has two further campuses in Claremont (Perth metropolitan region) and Albany (a seaside town in the south-west of Western Australia). One of Australia’s traditional ‘sandstone universities’—also known as the Group of Eight (Go8)—UWA is a research-intensive university, ranked in the top 1% of academic institutions worldwide alongside the other Go8 institutions. Flagship courses for UWA are in literature, biological sciences, environmental sciences, accounting and finance, anthropology, law and education. The Claremont campus houses the Australian Music Examination Board, the Confucius Institute and the Centre of Muslim States and Societies, while UWA Albany includes the Centre of Excellence in Natural Resource Management, the Rural Clinical School and the UWA Perth International Arts Festival. Accommodation is offered in residential colleges or off-campus through UWA Accommodation.

Digital version of your thesis

The UWA Library provides theses online through the UWA Research Repository .

We produce printed unit readers and manuals on behalf of Schools and Teaching Units. While some material is provided free to you by your school, some are made available for purchase.

You can choose to collect your order from the Campus Shop or have it delivered free to a college or couriered to your home address.

Note: As it is not mandatory for students to purchase the printed readers, typically schools order less copies to be produced than the number of enrolled students in a unit so that they are not left with unsold copies at the end of the semester.

If you go to the Campus Shop and your material has run out – don't despair, simply place an order online and within 2-3 working days your copy will be printed ready for collection or delivery.

Which profile fields are synchronised from other systems and how can I change them?

A number of fields within your profile in the UWA Profiles and Research Repository are automatically entered from the UWA HR system and Alesco.

These appear in your top level introduction on your public staff profile:

You can see which fields are synchronised with other systems when you are logged into your profile as they appear with a circular arrow beside the edit option within the field type:

In order to update any of these fields you will need to contact the appropriate area of the University, as detailed below.

• First Title (Ms, Dr, Professor, etc.): Contact [email protected]
• Organisation affiliations (within UWA): Discuss with your Manager or Head of School to arrange formally correcting your affiliation details in Alesco.
• Job Description: Discuss with your Manager or Head of School to arrange formally correcting your position title in Alesco. If you have two position titles appearing on your Profile you can select your primary role (displays first) under Organisational affiliations in the Edit Profile screen.
• Phone Numbers: Update in Employee Self Service under My HR > Personal Details tab > Personal Contacts. See detailed instructions here.
• First and Last Names: Update in Employee Self Service under My HR > Personal Details tab > Personal Contacts. See detailed instructions here.
• Address (Mailbag Number): Update in Employee Self Service under My HR > Employment tab > MBDP Maintenance See detailed instructions here.

HDR Students:

• Name and Title: Contact Student Administration by visiting in-person at the Student Central Building, or submitting an askUWA request . Supporting documents are required for a change in name.
• Contact Details: HDR students can add contact details in the Repository manually. Please see the FAQ Adding your contact details (HDR Students) below for more information.

Why have my UWA Profile contact details changed in the Repository?

The previous UWA Contact Directory has been decommissioned, and the UWA Repository now draws data from UWA’s HR system, ESS .

If your personal mobile phone number is appearing in the Repository, you may have accidentally entered it into the wrong field in ESS. If so, delete the entry in ESS and re-enter your mobile number into the mobile phone field. This will remove it from appearing in the Repository.

Instructions to change your details in ESS can be found here . Note that changes can take up to 24 hours to appear in Outlook and Teams and 48 hours to appear in the External directory and the UWA Profiles and Research Repository.

If your email is not displaying in your UWA Repository profile, please ensure you have logged in and activated your Uni ID .

How do I add my contact details? (HDR Students)

HDR student names and titles are synchronised from StudentConnect, and can only be changed by contacting Student Central .

HDR students can add an email, office address and work phone number to their UWA Repository profile by following these instructions:

1. Log into the UWA Profiles and Research Repository with your UWA SSO credentials.

2.Once logged in, click Edit Profile .

Can someone update my profile for me?

A trusted user feature is available and allows users to nominate another UWA staff member to make changes to their profile. If you are interested in using this feature, please contact [email protected] .

Why is my h-index and citation count different to those in Scopus, Web of Science & Google Scholar?

If you notice a difference in the h-index between systems this is because although there is a large overlap in their coverage, Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar have some variation in the journals they index.

If there is a discrepancy between the h-index on your Profile and your h-index on Scopus or Web of Science, it is likely that not all your publications have been added to the UWA Profiles and Research Repository. Follow these instructions to add any missing publications. The UWA Profiles and Research Repository will then re-calculate your h-index. This will be updated on your profile after every weekend.

If you do not wish for your citation count and the h-index to be displayed on your profile, they can be switched off by following the FAQ below 'How do I switch off the display of metrics or the collaboration map on my profile?' .

How do I turn off the collaboration map, h-index & citation count?

Your collaboration map, citation count and h-index may be turned off if they are not appropriate for your profile using the instructions below.

What is an Author Accepted Manuscript (AAM)?

The Author's Accepted Manuscript (AAM) is the version of a publication that can typically be made Open Access by adding it to the author's instititutional repository. At UWA, this is the UWA Profiles and Research Repository . This process is also known as self-archiving.

• the final draft version of a scholarly paper that has been accepted for publication by a journal, after peer-review and incorporating any suggested revisions
• it typically includes all of the changes and edits that were made during the peer-review process, but has not yet been copyedited or formatted by the publisher

It is NOT :

• the submitted version, also known as the preprint. While preprints can often be made available in institutional repositories too, they haven't been through the peer review process and do not meet the requirements of the  ARC and NHMRC Open Access funding mandates , or the UWA Research Integrity Policy .
• the proof or the final published version that has undergone copyediting, typesetting and branding

The image below compares a typical AAM with the published version of the same journal article:

How do I add grants information to my profile?

Grants that are administered by UWA, and therefore recorded in ROAP (Research Online Application Portal), are pulled across automatically into the UWA Profiles and Research Repository, and will display on staff profiles under the Grants tab. Staff can now choose to enter externally funded grants into ROAP and these will be automatically pulled across into the Repository. This information cannot be edited and is updated from ROAP nightly. See the section 2 of the User Guide for Researchers, which can be found on the Service Directory page for ROAP , for further information on how to manually add grants in ROAP.

Grants which are NOT synchronised from ROAP, including student grants, can be described in the 'Funding overview' section found in the Overview tab of your public profile. See instructions for adding to your Overview tab here .

The information in my Grants tab is incorrect. How do I fix it?

Data displayed in the Grants tab of your profile comes from ROAP (Research Online Application Portal). To amend information in ROAP you will need to contact the Office Of Research's Post-Award team: [email protected]

If the information displayed in the 'Funding Overview' section of your personal profile is incorrect, see the instructions on how to edit your Overview tab here .

T1 - RNA Editing in Plants: Evolutionary Trends in Ferns and Lycophytes, and Development of Synthetic RNA Editing Factors

AU - Kwok Van Der Giezen, Farley

N2 - RNA editing is an essential post-transcriptional process for RNA maturation in plant organelles. C-to-U RNA editing is present in almost all land plants, but hornworts, lycophytes, and ferns also contain U-to-C RNA editing. The mechanism for U-to-C RNA editing is unknown, and is seemingly unique to these plants. The work in this thesis investigates the patterns of C-to-U and U-to-C RNA editing in the organelles of aquatic ferns and a lycophyte. Efforts to uncover the mechanism of U-to-C editing led to the design of a scalable, orthogonal methodology for building synthetic RNA editing factors for heterologous expression testing.
