UNE's Achievements
The University of New England continues to achieve excellence as a higher education institution. Outstanding research, highly satisfied graduates and recognition of achievements in teaching and learning by the Australian Government are just some of UNE’s recent highlights.
UNE achieved the top rating (five stars) for all three primary categories of students’ ‘educational experience’ in The Good Universities Guide for 2009. UNE has received the Guide’s top rating in this regard for nine of the ten years from 2000 to 2009 – a record unmatched by any other university. Surveyed graduates gave UNE the maximum five stars for ‘teaching quality’, ‘graduate satisfaction’ and in the ‘overall graduate rating’, which is a resounding endorsement by graduates of the unique Australian living and learning environment offered by UNE.
UNE is listed in the Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) 2007 rankings of World Universities as one of the top 500 universities in the world, and one of the top 100 universities in the Asia Pacific. UNE’s inclusion in these rankings confirms its place as one of the great teaching and learning universities in the world. UNE has continually been awarded for excellence in university teaching by the Carrick Citations, an initiative of the Australian Government. UNE received Citations for all eight nominees in 2008 in recognition of outstanding achievements in distance education, online learning, on-campus teaching, and the linkage of research and teaching.
