22,000 students around the world seek admission to the University of New England. Here's why

UNE is the only Australian public university awarded five stars for overall experience for 14 years in a row.
Published June 15, 2020

The University of New England was the first Australian university established outside of a capital city, with a history extending back to 1938.

With the main campus situated in Armidale NSW, the capital of New England, UNE boasts a world class reputation as a quality education provider.

UNE’s second campus is located in Parramatta, NSW. Studying at the UNE Sydney campus gives students a world class learning experience, access to cutting edge teaching and learning resources, and the added benefit of small class sizes.

UNE has over 22, 000 students enrolled worldwide in undergraduate, postgraduate coursework and Higher Degree Research programs across various fields of study. This is because UNE maintains a high standard for teaching quality and utilises its small student-to-teacher ratio to identify and meet students’ varying academic needs.

International Student Barometer (ISB) is the global benchmark for international student experience. According to ISB, results for 2018 show that UNE is ranked either 1st or 2nd in Australia in the areas of learning, support, arrival, and living.

With particular strengths in agriculture, business, law and IT, UNE offers unique access to Australia’s best educators.

Academics who teach at UNE are also actively involved in research with most deemed as world experts in their field. UNE ranks at or above world standard in research in nearly 40 subject areas (2018 Excellence in Research for Australia by the Australian Research Council)

UNE SMART Farms

SMART Farms also provide context for problem-based experiential learning for undergraduates and for community activities. To have these wonderful resources located just minutes from the UNE campus is a major strength for those working and studying at UNE.

Made up of eight properties covering 3,870 hectares, the UNE SMART Farms are diverse and valuable teaching and research resources.

You are welcome at UNE

UNE prides itself on providing a supportive and welcoming environment for international students; one of the most frequent comments made by students is that they work as colleagues with their supervisors; supervisors make the time to work side by side with their students.

This brings about real partnerships and ensures that students achieve their academic goals.

UNE has a dedicated International Office to provide specialised support to students from pre-arrival information to pastoral support and advice while studying on campus.

The International Office also provides opportunities for international students to engage with the UNE and local community through various events and activities.

UNE encourages you to balance your study with an active lifestyle outside of the classroom. Our clubs and associations are a fantastic way to make new friends and gain valuable life experiences.

You can be involved in a diverse range of student groups including student associations, professional societies, sporting teams and more.

UNE’s residential accommodation consists of eight colleges that aid in providing students with the benefit of academic, social and personal support networks.

To assist with finances, several scholarships help students with costs of studying in Australia every year.

Undergraduate and postgraduate students can apply for Australian government scholarships; for postgraduate research degrees, UNE offers research scholarships as well.
