About the Scholarship Provider:
Newcastle University was established at this site, which was once a college of the University of New South Wales. It began operations in the second half of the 1951 school year after it had been established. In 1964, the state of New South Wales passed legislation giving the University of Newcastle complete independence. It has been regarded as one of the greatest universities in the world since its founding in 1965. Early university success can be attributed to the innovative ideas and practices introduced by students, faculty, and administration. Campuses in Callaghan, Newcastle, and Central Coast, as well as in Singapore and Sydney, provide examples of this kind of safe and friendly atmosphere for students. Buildings on the Callaghan campus have earned architectural accolades and were constructed to world-class standards, while the site as a whole spans more than 140 hectares of natural bushland. The campus also serves as a focal point for a wide variety of disciplines, from the humanities and social sciences to STEMM and the hard sciences.
The Newcastle City Campus is an integral part of the city’s economic and legal growth, connecting the business and arts communities. Despite its convenient location, the college is a hub of artistic activity. NUspace, the university’s state-of-the-art technological infrastructure, provides students with a “next generation” learning environment. Ourimbah, a small town on the Central Coast of New South Wales, is about an hour’s drive from both Newcastle and Sydney. This university offers courses in a wide variety of disciplines, from dental hygiene and podiatry to nursing and the social and natural sciences (food, coastal and marine, and exercise and sports). It is possible to obtain permanent residency in Australia if you are a student who has graduated and gained sufficient job experience in the country. In an effort to keep students in regional parts of Australia, the maximum length of stay for students from Sydney has been extended to four years, while students from Newcastle and the Central Coast can stay for up to three. Of the total student body of 37,946, 7 399 come from 113 different countries. The picture is completed by the 155,000 strong alumni network present in 149 different nations.

Thanks to the 300 acres of natural bushland and native Australian wildlife, students can study in peace and quiet. It’s like being in a mall right in the middle of the city in the Union’s retail district. Among these alternatives are bars, a bookstore, and a credit union. There are two banks, a travel agency, and a hospital with dentists and doctors available for after-hours visits. On-campus students can use a state-of-the-art recreation center. There are two basketball courts, two dojos for martial arts, a weight room, a training room, and a Health Education Center at this location. The climbing wall is 60 feet tall.

The British system of higher education can serve as a template for Australia. College freshmen spend their time evenly distributed between lectures, discussions, workshops, tutorials, and independent study/research. Students are given due dates for their work at the beginning of each semester. If they don’t meet the deadlines, they’ll have to pay penalties whether or not the work has been completed. All of a student’s required course schedules, including lectures and labs, will be available to them during orientation week. Regular attendance and participation in all lectures and labs is required. Many students only attend one or two classes per week, and much of the material covered is covered on a single midterm or final exam.
