About the University of Newcastle
The University of Newcastle
is hands-on and responsive in the way we teach. Many of our degree programs include a focus on students gaining work experience in their profession. As a result, people who study here do well – our graduates are sought after by employers and earn above average starting salaries and employment rates.
We are committed to the highest possible standards in teaching, learning and research and provide a great environment for study. Students have access to world-class sporting and recreational facilities, award-winning buildings and the latest technology, all in natural surroundings.
Some 28,000 students study at the University of Newcastle including over 3,500 international students from more than 80 countries. We have an international reputation for expertise in innovative approaches to teaching and learning. Problem-based learning, pioneered by Newcastle some 25 years ago, forms the core of our programs in medicine, engineering, architecture, construction management, nursing and law.
We have award-winning teachers, Federation Fellows, Centres of Excellence and highly cited researchers in many disciplines. The University of Newcastle is a dynamic, research intensive University ranked in Australia's top 10, and we enjoy significant research and teaching partnerships with universities throughout Asia and the Pacific as well as Europe, North America and Africa.
