Economics, Business and Law - Introduction

Welcome to the University of New England and the Faculty of Economics Business and Law - it is a great pleasure to have you visit our web site.

At the University of New England we offer our students one of the best whole of life packages in Australia.

A good student lifestyle involves:

  • having high quality cutting edge programmes available in a flexible manner;
  • as well as having a high quality recreational experience
  • and having the best advisory and support services readily available

… which are all available at the University of New England.

In the Faculty of Economics Business and Law we have three major schools with a wide range of disciplinary coverage -which you can explore through our web pages. The three Schools are;

We also have The Graduate School of Business

The Faculty has about 70 accomplished academic staff who distinguish the Faculty from other regional institutions in terms of the quantity and quality of research that they do. On a per capita basis the research achievement at the University of New England leads all the regional institutions and is amongst the highest profile of all Universities in Australia.

Thus, we back up our teaching programs with cutting edge research and publication.

In the Faculty it is possible to obtain training in a very specific discipline or alternatively to attain a well rounded understanding of the operation of business from a variety of perspectives from the law, economics, management, and so on.

We feature joint degrees within the areas of specialisation of the Faculty and also in connection to other Faculties; for example Science or Arts.

A major theme in the Faculty is to appraise and enable the commercialisation of the new wave of science technology, in such areas as information technology and biotechnology - and this can be done in conjunction with high quality work in other Faculties.

I am sure you will find your visit to our web site adventurous and challenging - and I wish you well in your travels through higher education.

We look forward to seeing you here in one of our programmes at the Faculty of Economics Business and Law sometime very soon.
