Share your photos on Instagram – #lifeatUWS

We would like to see UWS through your eyes, and invite you to share your experience of UWS with other students, staff and those who are thinking about studying at UWS.

We are seeking photos and videos that capture real experiences of life at UWS. This could be anything from catching up with friends at a café, to playing basketball, browsing at the library, getting involved in events, doing science experiments or working in the design studio.

Sharing your photos and videos

If you are happy to share your photos with students and staff, use the hashtag #lifeatUWS, follow @universityofwesternsydney on Instagram and tag @universityofwesternsydney in your photos. It would be great if you could hashtag your area of study (e.g. #business) and geo-tag your location. 

Have you already uploaded some great UWS photos or videos? Just add the hashtag #lifeatUWS and @universityofwesternsydney in a comment on your photo or video as well as follow @universityofwesternsydney. You can also post or repost old photos to Instagram using #lifeatUWS and @universityofwesternsydney.

Where will photos and videos be published?

Selected Instagram photos using the hashtag #lifeatUWS, will be published on the UWS Facebook site and the uwsconnect digital screens around campus, so keep an eye out for your photo!

We are keen to give future students a real sense of what it is really like to study at UWS through the eyes of current students, so some of the photos and videos will be used for events such as Open Day, as well as for University websites, publications and advertising material.

We may also use photos as part of our 25 Year Anniversary celebrations in 2014 and will develop a record of student experiences that will become part of UWS’ archives for the future.
