About the University of Newcastle

Set on a breathtaking stretch of Australia’s Pacific Ocean coastline, Newcastle is the only city in Australia where the central business district is positioned simultaneously on the beach and the harbour waterfront. The port entrance is home to Nobby’s Lighthouse and the Breakwater—both iconic imagery of Newcastle.

In 2017, the University of Newcastle moved its Faculty of Business and Law to the new $95-million, state-of-the-art NUSpace facility, right in the heart of the city of Newcastle. NUSpace harnesses the latest in technology and innovation in teaching and learning to deliver a world-class student experience.

Canadians love that the university is in a city that is designed around Australia’s beautiful ocean coastline. The campus scenery is fantastic, with bushland, forests and duck ponds right on the doorsteps of the university’s classrooms. The city of Newcastle also offers a regional setting with many activities and a lower cost of living than other major cities in Australia.
