We created the Acolyte Scholarship to give international students — including Western Sydney University students — a meaningful head start on the biggest financial challenge of studying abroad: the cost of housing.
Your campus depends on your course. Most international students study at Parramatta City or Parramatta South (Rydalmere), while Liverpool City is WSU's newest campus. Always check your offer letter and course details to confirm your primary study location.
Harris Park, known as 'Little India', is located adjacent to the Parramatta City Campus and is one of Australia's best Indian food and cultural precincts. WSU is also widely recognised as Australia's most ethnically diverse university, creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for international students.
International students can work up to 48 hours per fortnight during teaching periods and unlimited hours during scheduled semester breaks. Many WSU students find part-time opportunities in retail, hospitality, administration, and customer service across Parramatta and Greater Western Sydney.
Parramatta and Western Sydney are significantly more affordable than Sydney's inner-city suburbs. Shared apartments near Parramatta typically cost around A$200–300 per week per person, making WSU one of the more budget-friendly university options in Greater Sydney.
