Come and chat with our International Engagement Assistants – students just like you who can help you with all of your questions about settling in to UON, Newcastle and Australia.
Whether you want to know about activities on campus, what clubs you can join, where the gym is, how to set up your bank account or where the best Asian grocer in Newcastle is – our team can point you in the right direction.
Student life is so much more than just studying and participating in on-campus activities, it's about experiencing a new lifestyle, exploring the city, travelling and making friends, and getting to try new things you may not be able to back in your home country.
Below is a range of fun excursions and activities designed to facilitate cross-cultural interaction between all students, introducing you to Australian culture, and allow you to experience the best of Newcastle and the Hunter.
