Being a Student
We're delighted that you have chosen to study with us! Check your email for information about the International Student welcome program that begins one week before orientation week and continues into Semester.
The New students page explains everything every new student can do before orientation. Orientation week (known as O week) is the week before you commence study. In this week the practical aspects of University life are explained through welcome and program information sessions, campus tours, and the student life expo. Check the Orientation page to plan your O week experience.
These pages contain practical information to help you with being a student at the University of Newcastle!
