University of New England

The University of New England was the first Australian university established outside a capital city. With a history
extending back to the 1920s, UNE has a well-earned reputation as one of
Australia's great teaching, training and research universities.

Since 1955, teaching off-campus students by distance education
has been an important part of the University's activities. UNE is now
Australia 's longest continuous provider of distance education and with
more than 15,000 external students, is still one of Australia 's major
providers of awards to off-campus students. Increasingly, the
flexibility offered by external study is proving a significant
attraction to those pursuing a tertiary education.
