There are now many ‘johnny-come-lately’ universities in online education. UNE has been delivering distance education since 1955 – that’s longer than any other Australian university. Perhaps that’s why our students continue to rate us so highly for student satisfaction and teaching quality.
Study 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.

You will study environmental issues with experienced biologists, ecologists and environmental managers. This degree provides graduates with an understanding of the building blocks of our environment and their interactions, providing them with the key scientific knowledge and skills required by employers. The program centres on a core of science training, placed in the context of the physical and biological environment, with the option of a major in environmental management to gain additional skills in on-ground management of natural resources.
Australia's economy is heavily reliant on the export of mineral and energy resources but the sector also faces ongoing environmental challenges such as shortage of water, increased salinity of agricultural soils and loss of biodiversity. The Bachelor of GeoScience provides the opportunity to study a major in Fossil Fuels, Mineral Deposits or Remediation.

This degree is a coursework and research-based program designed to equip environmental scientists with specialist or multi-disciplinary professional knowledge in conceptual, scientific and field and laboratory technical competencies related to environmental science and natural resources management. The program is particularly valuable for candidates who are currently employed as resources managers and wish to upgrade their qualifications for either professional or academic reasons.
The Master of Natural Resource Governance focuses on developing future leaders and managers of eco-service markets, such as carbon and water trading, and environmental sustainability issues, such as climate change. The course will give natural resource managers the knowledge for meeting their legal and policy obligations, or help facilitate a career change for people such as teachers, lawyers, and accountants.

At UNE, online study is about the kind of flexibility and support that can only come from a university that has long understood the challenges faced by adults studying from home.
We have three teaching periods (trimesters), commencing in February/March, July and November: giving you greater choice about when and how much they study each year.
Online study can also be referred to as 'distance education' (sometimes also off-campus education, or external study) and provides an opportunity for you to study without having to physically attend a campus.
To make sure your learning can take place when it suits you, UNE provides online facilities which allow you to send questions, submit assignments, order library books, check your results and access other resources, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
As a UNE student, you will have access to our professional support services including:

Connect to online support at any time. If you are working on an assignment, you can upload a draft 24/7 and get detailed feedback in less than 24 hours.
Online after hours support (3 pm – 12 am) is available for foundation skills in maths, science, business studies, accounting, economics and statistics.
Academic literacy and assignment support is available for writing, assignments, research, referencing, and study skills.
Some online units have intensive schools (sometimes known as residential schools).
