Campus

The University of Newcastle has four campuses in Australia. The Callaghan Campus, also known as The Bushland Campus, is located just 12 kilometers from the center of Newcastle in the Callaghan district. It is the main campus of the University of Newcastle.

It was given the name Bushland Campus because the 125-hectare site is a natural area with numerous bushes, which is also cared for accordingly. Great importance is attached to the preservation of flora and fauna on campus. The Callaghan campus is easily accessible by bus and train and also has good connections via the freeway.

The second location is the Ourimbah campus. It is halfway between Newcastle and Sydney on the Central Coast. The University of Newcastle shares this campus with other educational institutions, bringing the total number of students studying at this campus to around 4,500. All of the buildings and facilities are relatively new, as the site was built on in the early 1990s. As on the Callaghan campus, the area is overgrown with a lot of shrubs and is quite similar to the Bushland campus in terms of flora and fauna.

The third location is in Port Macquarie and the fourth is in Sydney. This is still quite new and is located in the Sydney Central Business District. Depending on the location, master’s programs in the field of business and professional accountingas well as language courses are offered here.

Also located directly in Newcastle are the School of Music and Conservatorium, the School of Law, the Legal Centre, the Graduate School of Business and the Newcastle Institute of Public Health. There is also a so-called Overseas Campus in Singapore.

The college town of Newcastle

Newcastle is located on the east coast of Australia, has a population of around 140,000 in the city area and over 500,000 in the region. It is the second largest city in the Australian state of New South Wales, the sixth largest city in Australia and just two hours from Sydney. In 2004 Newcastle celebrated its 200th birthday.

On the one hand, the port city has breathtakingly beautiful beaches on Australia’s Pacific Ocean and, right next to it, has a port, which has a high leisure and recreational value for tourists and locals alike. Newcastle has some of Australia’s finest beaches and waterways for swimming, sailing, surfing and other water sports. Not far away is Lake Macquire, which is the largest saltwater lake in Australia and four times the size of Sydney Harbour.

Despite a thriving business and commercial sector, a very good health care network and good educational facilities, the cost of living in Newcastle has remained low. The climate is also very pleasant and the city offers a relaxed and friendly lifestyle.

In addition to some cultural institutions such as the Newcastle Regional Museum, Newcastle also offers an insight into Australia’s wildlife with the Blackbutt Reserve. Here kangaroos, koalas, emus, wallabies, wombats and many Australian birds can be observed.
