Undergraduate study at UNE

If recent events have taught us anything, it’s that we never know what’s just around the corner. Undergraduate education with UNE is the key to coping with change and turning challenges into opportunities — to becoming future fit.

What is undergraduate study? An undergraduate degree or course is usually the first degree you obtain at university. Undergraduate courses on offer at UNE include bachelor's degrees, diplomas, advanced diplomas and undergraduate certificates. If you have never graduated from university before or if you are returning to study another degree in a different discipline, then an undergraduate course is for you.

Our undergraduate courses can be taken on full-time or part-time, so it’s easy to fit university study in with your current lifestyle. We provide unparalleled support, resources and study options that has led to us becoming the only Australian public university awarded 5 stars for Overall Experience 18 years in a row.
