Why UNE?
Why Choose UNE for Your Students?
Studying at UNE will not only earn your students a valuable and highly respected degree, they enjoy an experience that stays with them for life.
Our academic staff have been recruited on a global scale based on their specialised knowledge in their discipline and comprehensive research skills, making them one of the finest collections of academics in the nation.
Being the first regional University in Australia, combined with its highly reputable distance education programs, UNE has attracted students worldwide and has seen many graduates to move on to highly successful career opportunities.
Generally, being a student of UNE allows one to enjoy not only our wide range of courses which are taught by highly skilled academics, but also they will benefit from our small class sizes. This facilitates friendly and informative communications between fellow students and their lecturers. Other bonuses are the extensive and affordable accommodation offered by our on-campus college system and our very flexible study options.
These all result in a student experience that has consistently scored the maximum five stars in the Good Universities Guide, more times than any other university.
Flexible Study Options
UNE is flexible in the way it delivers courses and ways in which your students can choose to study their degree, and in a way that suits their lifestyle. They can opt to speed up their degree by studying at Summer School, or take some time off, switch between on and off-campus study modes, or simply have a mix of the two study options.
Affordable Living
Living in Armidale is much cheaper than living in the city to study. Students have the option of choosing to live on-campus in one of our unique and highly supportive residential colleges where they can benefit from cost-savings and quick, short walks to their classes. UNE has one of the most extensive residential college systems in the country, with seven individual colleges on campus and another complex offering self-catering facilities. If students choose to live in one of these, it further facilitates a healthier balance between their studies and socialising whilst reducing the financial stress of studying.
Respected Qualifications
The qualifications each student will gain as a graduate of UNE are widely recognised and industry valued. The fine quality of our teaching staff and their suite of specialised skills and knowledge they bring to their disciplines, allows our graduates to be equipped with valuable knowledge, training, and skills, making UNE graduates sought after.
Great Support
We believe our job is to support each student and to empower and inspire them to learn and reach their full potential. UNE has a range of established support programs and services, all of which are free, and all of which are accessible at any time – regardless of whether students are studying on or off campus, full or part time.
