At the University of Newcastle, we are dedicated to being a world-leading institution, profoundly impacting our regions and providing an outstanding student experience. In the top 1% of universities in the world, we are proudly a university of our regions and for our regions.

Exceptional student experience

Our dynamic campuses across Newcastle, the Central Coast, Sydney and Singapore are vibrant hubs for learning, socialising and collaboration. These welcoming environments are
purpose built to inspire our more than 37,000 students and our staff to make a difference. We take pride in delivering an outstanding experience for every student, with career-ready
placements as an integral component of all degrees. The opportunity to work with industry means our graduates are not only job ready, but also life ready.
Foundation of equity and excellence

We believe that every student deserves the support to succeed, no matter their background or circumstance. With a strong commitment to enhancing education and employment opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, our University is the sector leader in Indigenous student enrolments and employment of Indigenous staff. As Australia’s largest provider of enabling programs, we have offered a wide range of alternative entry pathways for a diverse range of students over the last 50 years. Our commitment to creating a place for all is fundamental to how we teach, research, collaborate with industry partners and local communities, and engage with our staff and students.

Better connected

We focus our research efforts on areas that are important to our communities and our partners, including: energy and renewables, health and medical research, regional transformation, resource sustainability, and the role of education in creating strong communities. From developing innovative solutions to the world’s greatest challenges, to producing life-ready graduates who drive positive global change, the University of Newcastle stands as a beacon of excellence. When you study, work, or collaborate with us, you join a prestigious global network committed to making the world a better place.
