Student experience program

Join our global community

Join our University community of over 35,000 students from over 105 countries. Engage with Australian and other international students and the local community to enhance your Australian experience and build strong relationships.

Orientate yourself

It takes longer than one day to settle in to a new country and learning environment. That’s why we run an ongoing orientation program that involves a range of activities to ensure you settle in to life in Australia.

Practice English

Build your English skills outside the classroom by attending a:

• Pronunciation Class
• Speed Conversation Class
• Group or individual Speech Pathology session
• Campus Conversations

Explore Newcastle
