How do I attend?

Can't make it on the day?

Campus tours are another great way to experience the lifestyle of a university student. See where you’ll live, study and play and get a feel for the lifestyle of a university student.

On a free UNE campus tour you will not only see our vibrant and distinct residences, but also our state-of-the-art sporting facilities, Dixson Library, cafés and shops and the historic Booloominbah Homestead.

Campus tours run all year round by appointment (excluding weekends and public holidays). Bookings are essential, and friends and family are welcome.

UNE being a small university brings with it so many advantages – you aren’t simply a number in the system, it’s a high-quality personal educational experience.

Andrea Jaggi, Bachelor of Biomedical Science and Master of Teaching (Secondary)

I am ever grateful for my experiences at UNE. The degree was great and the lecturers at UNE genuinely helped me well beyond expectations.
