First Year at UNE
Personalised Learning
As the oldest university outside of a capital city, the University of New England has a long history in providing a vibrant and supportive living and learning environment to students. With small classes, world class teaching and research facilities, sporting amenities and residential accommodation, you have everything you need in one place and the personal and academic support to help you succeed in your first year.
Our graduates consistently give UNE the highest rating for their student experience and the support they receive* - it’s the personalised learning experience that sets UNE apart, including small classes and access to lecturers, academic skills support, counselling and careers advice and a support centre for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.
The University has a sprawling campus of more than 70 hectares, and is located in the heart of the beautiful New England region, half way between Sydney and Brisbane and just a two hour drive to the mid-north coast. The City of Armidale is renowned for stunning scenery, a cosmopolitan atmosphere and as the cultural centre of the region.
