We’re the only online university to be awarded the maximum 5 stars for student satisfaction, every year for the last 10 years*

UNE has been helping adults study from home longer than any other Australian university and our students say we’re the best at it. That’s what you would expect from a University with over 60 years of experience in distance education.

Study online across three study periods with 24/7 online tutor support. If you don’t have entry qualifications, our free Pathways Enabling Course gives you entry and credit to most of UNE’s undergraduate degrees.

If you prefer to study on-campus, UNE has a campus in Armidale.

If you’re not ready to commit to a whole degree right now, we also have our revolutionary new Bespoke Courses where you can design a short course of just 2, 3 or 4 units. Because they’re real degree units you may get credit towards a full degree later.

Apply now to start 26 June and see why UNE gets the maximum 5 star rating from graduates for Overall Satisfaction and Teaching Quality year after year.
