THE WOMEN'S COLLEGE
The Women’s College is historically significant as the first university college for women in Australia. It opened in 1892 in temporary premises, before moving to the current permanent premises in 1894. The College supports high standards of academic excellence for the 280 young women in residence.

The Women’s College is located on campus within The University of Sydney at Camperdown. It is just minutes from the CBD and easily accessible from the airport.
