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.

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.
