The buzz on-campus
Working towards your degree will be an exciting experience but don't forget to take advantage of the range of opportunities available to you.
Our three campuses in Newcastle, the Central Coast and Port Macquarie are great places to grab a coffee, attend events and exhibitions and make new friends.
Interact with loads of interesting people - you'll be part of a student population of more than 36,000, including some 7,000 international students from more than 110 countries.
A day in the life of a UON student.
Our CBD sites
Depending on what you study, you may take classes at one of our two sites located in the Newcastle CBD.
The Conservatorium (part of our School of Drama, Fine Art and Music) is located near the Civic Centre precinct, while the Newcastle Legal Centre and Newcastle Business School are located in University House opposite Civic Park - both just steps away from cafes and boutiques on Newcastle's famous Darby Street.
Central Coast campus
Our Central Coast campus offers modern facilities with a beautiful bushland backdrop.
More than $20 million has recently been spent building new state-of-the-art facilities on-campus including new teaching and learning spaces for our degrees in exercise and sport science, teaching and nursing. The library has also received a substantial extension including a new-look 24-hour access computer lab.
Several degrees are offered exclusively at our Central Coast campus including podiatry, food science and human nutrition, exercise and sport science, and oral health.
Located approximately half-way between Newcastle and Sydney, the Central Coast offers the best of both worlds. Divide your time between study, shopping, sports and spectacular beaches.
