Balancing study with life in the military requires a university that understands the unique needs of defence personnel.
Whether it’s preparing for promotion or a switch to civilian life, the University of New England has been working side by side with Defence personnel, for more than 70 years. In fact UNE invented distance education university courses for defence personnel returning from World War 2 and we’ve been perfecting distance education ever since.
The flexibility built into our online degrees and our deep understanding of the unique demands that come with life in the armed forces gives you the ability to stay on track even through transfers and deployments. When applying to UNE we recognise your rank, training and the workplace qualifications you’ve received on the job which may give you advanced standing into UNE courses through recognition of prior learning (RPL). We even have a dedicated pathways-to-university program to help you get started.
