About UNE
The University of New England was the first Australian university established outside a capital city. With a history extending back to the 1920s, UNE has a well-earned reputation as one of Australia's great teaching, training and research universities.
More than 75,000 people now hold UNE qualifications, with many in senior positions in Australia and overseas.
The UNE campus is situated on 74 hectares of heritage parklands, overlooking the beautiful city of Armidale. All faculties, residences and recreational facilities are set in idyllic surroundings, within easy walking distance from each other.
Small is beautiful. At UNE we offer you the best of both worlds: small class sizes and great access to lecturers, who are passionate about what they teach and keen to see you succeed; plus a highly regarded degree from one of Australia’s oldest and most respected universities.
Our graduates consistently rate their experience at UNE highly, regularly earning the maximum 5 stars in the Good Universities Guide, a reflection of our commitment to student support.
Our residential college system is one of the most extensive in Australia, with lots of cultural, sporting and social activities, as well as academic support to help you succeed. College residents get the most out of their UNE experience usually making good friends for life with their fellow residents.
Each year, the University offers students more than $2.5 million in scholarships, prizes, and bursaries and more than $18 million for staff and students involved in research.
