UNE Tamworth Centre

UNE has had a presence in Tamworth since 1955, providing students across the region with a base to meet, study, collaborate and communicate with peers and teachers.

 

For the last couple of decades the focus of UNE’s activities have centred on Peel House in the heart of the Tamworth CBD. It provides a range of services for current and prospective students. Our Student Support Desk is open from 9am – 5pm, Monday to Friday, providing:

  • Advice on course selection
  • Study planning and course progression
  • Assistance with online study platforms
  • Help for applying to study, advanced standing and enrolling
  • Preparing for university study
  • Referrals to other UNE student and academic support services

In 2014 the historic building underwent a significant refurbishment, which transformed it into a modern wifi-enabled facility, available to UNE students for extended hours, 7 days-a-week and boasting a range of student resources, including:

  • Private and open study spaces
  • Computers and printing facilities
  • Student lounges and kitchens
  • Dedicated PhD/Postgraduate study facilities
  • Student support hotline

It is also home to the UNE SMART Region Incubator, a friendly, focused and connected community, which helps to join regional businesses with growth potential, together with the academic community research, business mentors, corporate and community partners. We have assisted a number of Tamworth startups get off the ground, and they continue to come here to work hard, build smart, fail well and pivot fast.

 

UNE Tamworth also hosts a range of functions, events and workshops in conjunction with other departments of UNE, and by partnering with community groups and local organisations and businesses.

Studying Online

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), giving you greater choice about when and how much they study each year.

 

We know that a vital part of online study is your engagement with the learning community. Communication with your classmates, teaching staff and university support staff will enhance your study experience and ensure that your skills extend beyond the subject matter. UNE’s teaching staff are experts in their field which is why UNE consistently receives five stars from students for teaching quality.

How Does
Online Study Work?

SEE HOW

Online study can also be referred to as 'distance education' (also off-campus, 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, engage with other students, order library books, check your results and access other resources, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
