The Faculty of Medicine and Health has been established to ensure UNE is best placed to prepare students for the world ahead.
Health is a growing and rapidly changing sector. New preventive approaches, new technologies, new diagnostic tests and curative procedures are reshaping the way we think about Medicine. Student health professionals are entering a field that is opening up before them.
The Faculty offers courses, training, and research opportunities in a full range of scientific and clinical disciplines, including Community Services, Counselling, Health Management, Medicine, Mental Health Practice, Nursing, Pharmacy, Psychology and Social Work . We are committed to improving the well-being of individuals, families, communities, and populations through diverse programmes, collaborative research, and strong community partnerships.
Now is an exciting time for all people wanting to become a health professional. UNE has a growing reputation for our intellectual innovation, courage, and community-focused achievements. We look forward to stepping forward with you into the world we together can create.

The Faculty takes advantage of UNE's strengths in data science and developing strength in rural and tele-health to develop new approaches to healthcare based on increasingly available data and Information and communication technology capabilities. The government’s focused funding for research translation plays to UNE’s strength as a university embedded in its community.
The Manna Institute aims to build the place-based research capacity of regional mental health researchers and develop collaborative research that addresses the complex issues affecting mental health in regional, rural and remote Australia. This 3-year project is a collaboration between universities in the Regional Universities Network (RUN), led by the University of New England.
