UNE being a small university brings with it so many advantages – you aren’t simply a number in the system, it’s a high-quality personal educational experience.

Andrea Jaggi, Bachelor of Biomedical Science and Master of Teaching (Secondary)

I am ever grateful for my experiences at UNE. The degree was great and the lecturers at UNE genuinely helped me well beyond expectations.
