The University Of New England

The University of New England is proud of its reputation as a warm and friendly institution dedicated to serving and caring for international students. UNE's Study Abroad program offers students from the US and Europe the chance to experience the unique Australian lifestyle while at the same time gaining credit towards their home-university degree. Students may choose from units offered by all departments of the University (subject to meeting prerequisites and availability).

Situated in the City of Armidale, the University of New England was established in 1938 as a college of the University of Sydney. It gained autonomy in 1954 and has grown steadily to become an institution internationally renown for its academic excellence and unique study environment. Of the 5000 full-time students currently enrolled, approximately eight per cent are international students representing 53 different countries. The cultural diversity of the student population makes UNE an exciting and vibrant community.

The University of New England is located in the cosmopolitan city of Armidale while being in the tranquil and picturesque New England region of New South Wales.

The New England region is famous for its magnificent gorges, waterfalls, rivers, streams, and for the contrasting beauty of four very distinct seasons which make Armidale one of the few places in Australia worthy of being known as a "city for all seasons."
