UWS reinvigorates its Nirimba campus

The University of Western Sydney plans to reinvigorate the academic profile of its Nirimba campus, in Blacktown, by locating the first year of degrees in business, information technology, engineering and possibly science to at least 400 students, in 2009. Students who successfully complete their diplomas at Nirimba would be eligible to enter the second year of the corresponding UWS undergraduate degree. The move is part of an expansion of the UWS College's pathway programs. This development follows last year's announcement that UWS would transfer its undergraduate program in business studies from Nirimba due to falling student demand.
