#1 university in the world. Four years running.

For an unprecedented fourth consecutive year, we have topped the 2025 Times Higher Education University Impact Rankings, out of more than 2,300 higher education institutions across over 130 countries.

Why? Because being number one means leading with purpose, and showing the world the way.   From using 100 per cent GreenPower-accredited electricity, to providing electric vehicle charging stations and adopting innovative waste practices that divert 89 per cent of campus waste from landfill – sustainability is embedded in how our campuses operate.

We are also making impact well beyond our own backyard. The Managing Aquifer Recharge and Sustaining Groundwater Use through Village-level Intervention (MARVI) project, led by Western researchers, is transforming how groundwater is managed in India. By training local women as water stewards, the project is improving food security and livelihoods in communities facing climate change – and positioning women as powerful leaders in local decision-making.

At Western, we believe you can start local and go far.  You’ll find a community that’s dedicated to helping you discover your strengths, reach your potential and make an impact that goes beyond campus.
