- What's it like to study at the University of Newcastle?
Let's face it, if you're thinking of spending a few YEARS studying there, taking 15 minutes to watch this unbiased review is probably a good investment!
Newcastle consistently ranks well and it has definitely worked out how to best serve the needs of the Newcastle community.
But what do students say about studying there, and what's it like actually getting around campus?
The answer might actually surprise you!
In this review, Rob Malicki from A Life That Travels checks out what several of the campuses are like and takes you through some of the key things you need to know about studying at the University of Newcastle.
He'll take you on a visit of the main Callaghan Campus, the brand new (and seriously awesome) NewSpace building in the Newcastle CBD, and pop into the Central Coast campus at Ourimbah.
Along the way we'll talk about subject areas, strengths, things to watch out for (like mosquitoes and parking!) and what makes this uni tick.

Itâs a great university. Iâm studying bachelor of Electrical and Electronics engineering. The uni is really good and they really focus on real world engineering stuffs
Hey, thanks for the contribution- thatâs really helpful!
In that degree do you get practical opportunities like internships and work placements too?
A Life That Travels Yes for engineering there is 12 weeks industry placement
That's awesome.
Heyashikur i have some questions can we have a conversation.
Post them here and Iâll try to answer them
I have done my PhD in UoN for 4 years and have lots of lifetime memories there. Great city, Great campus, and Great people...
Great to hear mate. Whatâs your PhD on?
Have you studied at the University of Newcastle? What's it like?
Or if you have questions, please post them below!
Actually i haven't...i'm have admits for masters of chemical engineering from Monash and university of Sydney and i'm finding it difficult to make a choice, that's why i'm watching your channel. You post some good stuff about unis.
Thanks @@abdulmusawwir8603. Please subscribe (if you haven't already) and you'll get the notification when the Sydney video is ready.
Both Monash and Sydney are excellent universities and Sydney and Melbourne are great cities.
Have you already looked at the www.qilt.edu.au website for both universities?
@@ChoosingYourUni i'll check it out
Need to know about MPH (master of public health)
Newcastle has a good health faculty that is well reputed and connected to the local health facilities and authorities.
Hey mate. I currently study solely at NewSpace and the view is actually refreshing rather than distracting. Great facilities and enjoy the modern collaborative classes rather than lectures.
Hey Lyndon - thanks for the insight! I definitely got the feeling from the space that it would be a more engaging form of learning there. Are you studying business? Law?
New step?
I was studying business. New step is like a pathway course to get you into a degree. Iâve heard it is decent but try and get in as a mature aged student if you can to save you the year of study that could be unnecessary
Good advice
I fell in love with the birds on the Callaghan campus, so much that I'm leaving my home state to study at UoN next month!
That is so great! Where do you currently live?
@@ChoosingYourUni Iâm so silly and didnât see this! Tasmanian originally! Still at UoN, itâs been great!
thanks u so much 4 reviewing me this place. i'm 17 years old and i'm gonna try my best to enter thĂĄt university. wish u have a wonderfull life and successed . i'm from #VietNam
You're welcome - it's a lovely university. Hope to see you there one day!
Just started studying a B Nursing at UON at the new Central Coast Clinical school campus in Gosford. I believe that all the Nursing/Midwifery/Medicine programs have been moved to this new campus from Ourimbah.The facilities are phenomenal. The building is on the grounds of Gosford Hospital so you really feel like you're in the thick of it.
Thanks Rebecca, thatâs really helpful to know. Hope to visit there later this year đ
how is the ourimbah campus, and the gosford precint. do u think the social aspect is still lively there compared to Callaghan.
Thereâs a little footage of Ourimbah in here. Itâs pretty and weâll maintained. The only thing is that itâs quite isolated and thereâs not a huge amount nearby.
Iâve heard about the Gosford precinct but havenât visited yet.
For social life, Iâd still rate Callaghan top.
Archi Student there from 2003 to 2005. Watching this makes me get flashbacks of while I was studying there
Many things are exactly the same!
Was spectacular in the 1990âs. Study during the week then a superb nightlife in town on the weekend. Had only 8,000 students back then and so had lots of space and very few rules. Parking and the gym were free. The Bar on the Hill had great music.
Beach Party. âNuf said.
Have studied there back in the 1990's from 1993 to 1999. Great memories, awesome campus.
Ah ha! I remember the Beach Party back in the 90s....epic in so many ways...
Great video, an amazing University, kudos and thumbs up for you man!!, I have thought to begin my master in Cybersecurity there over the next year!!. Greetings from Chile!!.
Thanks mate, appreciate it. I love Newcastle - great uni and the new facilities they've built at NewSpace are really excellent.
lover ur videos man, very helpful. keep doing what u do
đđđ
Big news coming on this topic next week!
Your videos are great and so informative! Will you please do one for Queensland University of Technology.
Thanks! Please subscribe!
And yes, absolutely, Iâll be filming a QUT video later in the year.
Here's the QUT video :)

High recommend the Bachelor of Physiotherapy at UoN
Thatâs an excellent comment - BPhysio is very strong at UoN. Good call - thanks for the contribution!
I'm studying a Bachelor of Arts at UoN callaghan campus. The student life is GREAT with all of the cubs and events that are organised. It's such a friendly place to be. However, this year I haven't been having such a great time studying arts. I'm not sure if it's due to Covid or because of the recent budget cuts (UoN cut an entire Arts degree!) but there is such a minimal amount of courses to choose from, particularly in English and Writing. I have no idea if they'll revive their course list down the track but for the moment I'd say be wary if you want to study humanities. In addition to that, I find that the core course for humanities could do a LOT of work. They go through the course material entirely too fast to really learn any information, and the big projects are due so close to the start of semester that you're just getting settled and barely able to get help with being pointed in the right direction.
That being said, I did study Education for a semester and truly thought the education was amazing.
Thatâs a super helpful comment Emily - thanks for sharing!
@@matcha241 yes it has. Iâm actually taking a break from studying at the moment, but semester 1 last year was all online, and I know at least a little bit of semester 2 was.
It has. Things arenât great in Sydney right now, but thatâs a few hundred kilometres away. Would rather be in Newcastle than Sydney right now!
Your videos are very helpful. Thanks for all the helpful information. Can you review the University of Wollongong? I am looking at starting university here in 2020 and these reviews have given an awesome insight.
can you also do the University of Sunshine coast review? Would be supper helpful!
Hi Emma - thanks for this! Pumped you found it useful.
I've done about half of my UoW vid. Just need a last trip down there to grab a bit more footage and an interview or two and it'll be ready - if you subscribe you'll get the notification. Probably early November is my estimate.
I LOVE UoW.
Now I'm intrigued.
There's not that many people who are looking at 3 different regional unis (UoN, UoW and USC). What's your story? What are you interested in studying?
Cheers!
Rob
I am an Australian that had lived in Luxembourg for my whole life and studied in the uk for the last 2 years. I want to study primary education as I have had a passion to become a teacher for a very long time. I havenât been to nsw or qld only vi as that is where my family is from but I what to go somewhere that is always warm and great surf and want to explore a new part of Australia! Thanks for your great information on your videos they are super helpful for someone like me and couldnât find anything like it any where else on CZcams! It is difficult to make a choice of where to go when you have never been there and donât really know the area, and I canât base it on the websites and info, that is why your vids are great they give a bit more of an insight! đđ»
Thanks Emma! I really appreciate the encouragement!
I started this channel because the only videos on unis that I could find were published by the unis themselves. I travel to most of them for work so I figured « I can do this! »
If you want somewhere that is always warm, Sunshine Coast is def your option. Itâs a warm and lovely part of the country!
Newcastle has incredible beaches and October through May is warm. Itâs pretty close to Sydney which is great too.
Both Newcastle and Sunshine Coast have airports close by so you can get to other parts of the country quite easily.
Wollongong is probably the best uni overall of the three and is close to Sydney. But itâs the furthest south so is also coldest by far!
I did both undergrad and postgrad there, top University.
Love Newcastle. Great uni. Great city.
Beach Party was epic...
I'm doing a double degree of Business and Information Technology. Managed to go both of the campus from times to times. Forgot how good this university is, not the best, but loving it.
Glad to hear it!
Hi! I just came across your channel and I love your content. I'm an international student at Sydney at I plan on getting a Bachelor's in Business and I'm choosing between Griffith University, Gold Coast campus and the University of Newcastle - which one in your opinion is better for business? I'd really like to hear your thoughts and opinions. Thank you so much!
Hi Vanessa, thanks for the message.
Okay, so youâre in Sydney so would have to move to either Newcastle or the Gold Coast.
Both business schools are good.
Newcastle and the Gold Coast are both coastal towns - nice beaches and outdoor life.
Depending on what you do, there will be more part time work on the Gold Coast.
Newcastle teaches some degrees in Sydney. I donât know if that would interest you?
Griffith has a strong international studies program (eg opportunities to study overseas). It also has expertise and real strength in Asian Business and Asian culture - obviously very important in the modern global economy!
Griffithâs leadership development programs are stronger than Newcastle.
Both unis have good support services for international students, Griffith maybe a touch in front.
I like both campuses. Newcastle is really amongst the trees and like being in the bush. Griffith Gold Coast has a great vibe and is more cosmopolitan with more eating and cafe opportunities.
Hope that helps!
A Life That Travels Thank you so much for replying! Iâm looking to move out of Sydney and move to a regional city to get more points for PR and immigration. The Govt. introduced more cities as regional and both the Gold Coast and Newcastle have been added to it.
Thank you for replying! It means a lot to me!
Hi Vanessa,
Sorry for the delay in responding, I've had a lot on in the past month (see this video for the full explanation! czcams.com/video/EO0hzZtoHXo/video.html)
Both Newcastle and Griffith are strong business schools. I like them both.
Both the Gold Coast and Newcastle are beautiful coastal cities. One is close to Sydney (Newcastle) and one is close to Brisbane (Griffith Gold Coast).
Both would make good choices.
There's probably more work on the Gold Coast than in Newcastle. Of course, everything is very different now from when you first asked your question.
I hope you're okay!
When will you be covering university of Sydney?
Soon mate, soon! Thanks for following!
abdul musawir and Unsw
Hi Abdul, I'll be posting my University of Sydney video next week - it's ready and looks great!
Your videos are really helpful and great. I am planning to come to Australia for my bachelor's degree. I am planning to pursue Bachelor of Engineering with a specialization in Software Engineering. I am in dilemma whether to choose Macquarie University or the University of Newcastle. I saw that UoN is fully accredited by Engineers Australia whereas Macquarie University is provisionally accredited. So, Can you please suggest me which of these unis is better for Software Engineering?
Provisional just means awaiting the final process or some final information to be submitted. Both MQ and UoN are good so Iâd also consider other things, like if you want to be in a huge city like Sydney or a smaller place like Newcastle, which is cheaper with less pressure.
Which physiotherapy is better? UON, ACU or UWS ? I donât see much information of the physio at UON, like the building and the facility etc.
Physio is an accredited degree. That means the National Physio body oversees the structure of degrees and they all have to meet base criteria. So the degrees will be similar. Look at things like student satisfaction and think about what location youâd prefer to live in.
Thank you
Hi thank you for such a great campus review. Iâm from Asia and having problem deciding for my child in choosing IT course between Murdoch Perth or Newcastle Callaghan. Which Uni would you recommend? Iâm also kind of worry of the safety if itâs in a big bushland campus.
Safety is not a problem in Australia. Even the big bush land campuses have good security services and things like courtesy buses after dark if your child is there late.
Both these unis are interesting and similar in some ways. I think Newcastle is maybe the better uni overall, but Perth is one of my favourite student cities. There might be more opportunities for students for internships and things like that in Perth.
Itâs a line ball choice for me. Both are solid.
Hey I'm actually confused between curtin university and new castle university I'm planning to come next year for my masters so which one would you suggest me to get into as per everything, part time jobs,jobs after masters, permanent residency and all ?
What discipline are you hoping to study?
@@ChoosingYourUni Masters In marketing
If it were me Iâd choose Curtin, because itâs a great uni, has an amazing student vibe, the business faculty is great and I love Perth.
Newcastle would suit you better if youâre looking to study near the beach. Newcastle isnât huge, but itâs close to Sydney (3 hours on the train to the centre of Sydney).
@@ChoosingYourUni sir please suggest some good unis near sydney in regional areas please
Am an applicant for nursing in Newcastle University in Australia can you please educate me
đ
And also
When is the new next intake for nursing student
I'm guessing it will be semester 1 next year.
Is the New Space seperated by the main campus? And for medical students do they study only in New Space?
New Space is in the city centre away from the main campus.
I donât know if medical students are there. I thought medicine was on the main campus and New Space was mostly business and law.
Im going into UON next year and going to be studying Medical radiation science (diagnostic radiography), is it a good uni for it?
The health faculty at UoN is really good. I canât speak specifically about diagnostic radiography, which is too niche for my knowledge, but the health fac is good.
How about the material science programme?
Not familiar with that precisely but anything in the engineering space is a pretty safe bet imo
Hey man, appreciate your videos a lot. I'm an international student. Please help me with a query. Which one is better among the following options:
1) University of Newcastle (dual degree- MBA+MA in Human Resource Management)...the course is in the NU space building
2) University of Wollongong (dual degree - MA in HRM+ MA in Business Analytics)
3) I'm also waiting to hear from Deakin, La Trobe, Griffith and Uni of Canberra
Thanks for the message. The answer is... it depends. What are you hoping to get into after you finish?
@@ChoosingYourUni Thanks for the prompt response. I'm looking to work in the HR field in the corporate sector after finishing. Finding a full time job in Australia is of utmost importance to me and obviously having a good time exploring the country while studying too
As of now, I'm more inclined towards UoN because of the dual degree providing more scope, its excellence in academics and the high employability rates post coursework. Newcastle is a great city too. Deakin also sounds extremely lucrative. However, I wanna weigh all the options equally without any sort of bias.
It sounds like Newcastle is a good option for you. I love the city and the uni. Being regional, I think youâll have access to some good opportunities there.
Iâve met the MBA coordinator there once. Do you want me to put you directly in touch? If so, PM me on IG @alifethattravels
Hey there Sparsh! Did you finalise anything or did you join any university, as we share Interest in the same field any input from your side would be highly helpful.
I am planning to take Master in Human Resource Management and thorn between Griffith and UON. What is your take on this? Whuch has a better program? Better campus? Thanks.
Two good unis with different strengths. Newcastle is dual accredited by AACSB and EQUIS. If you study in Newcastle itself (which I would probably recommend for the best on-campus experience) the new business space NewSpace is great. Newcastle is a relaxed town too.
Griffith has several campuses. Gold Coast is my pick for the best student atmosphere and access to off campus opportunities on the Gold Coast. Griffith's strength in Asian Business is an asset to the uni. It has a stronger overseas study program than UoN imo but both have work integrated learning opportunities.
And are students allowed to work and study in the school
If youâre an international student youâre allowed to work up to 24 hours per week, at time of writing, whilst studying plus full time during the holidays.
@@ChoosingYourUni ohh thanks so much sir
And are you a lecturer in the school
do you know whether bachelor of physiotherapy is good?
Yep. Good program at UoN.
hey, great video! what universe would you say is better for a bachelor of science, newcastle uni or macquarie uni?
What form of science? A general BSc that gives you lots of options to try different things?
Also, do you prefer big or small cities?
@@ChoosingYourUni yeah just a general of bsc & i have no preference of city size
hey I got admission offer for MBA global in UNC . I also have offers from Curtin and Deakin university as well . I'm just confused between UNC and Curtin fees is less in UNC plus its near Sydney which has more prospects for management jobs as compared to Perth but I like the campus of Curtin . your views sir .
Good questions. The UoN degree is excellent and there are advantages to being close to Sydney. Curtin also has a strong program but you are right that Perth is a smaller city with fewer pure management jobs outside of the mining sector (although it should be noted that Curtin has excellent linkages into the mining industry).
I think the Curtin campus is definitely nicer BUT the UoN New-space is quite new with good facilities. For an MBA I would worry less about the campus than the industry connections imo
@@ChoosingYourUni thanks for the reply . My campus is New space one but the problem I have is that in order to do any extracurricular activities I have to take a shuttle bus to the main campus . My program in Curtin is MOInternational business and entrapreneurship not an MBA .
What should I put in work experience and my statement of purpose to impress them for under Graduation admission?
What work experience do you have?
In terms of "Statement of Purpose", tell them WHY. Why Newcastle, why the degree you're choosing, why that program will help you get where you want to go etc.
@@ChoosingYourUni I am applying for Engineering.... What do they prefer in terms of work experince and How much co-ciricullar activities matter
If it's a bachelor degree, you won't have to show any work experience. A Masters degree might be different.
Co-curricular probably isn't critical for undergraduate admission, but if you've done interesting things you should definitely include them!
@@ChoosingYourUni I am Current filling the undergraduate form
And my priority is Computer Science...
.
What will be the best thing to put here?
Is there anything you want us to know about your application?
Please provide details here.

Hey bro i am coming to newcastle can you plss help me with the friends and job?
No, sorry.
Please visit Wollongong university also
Itâs on the list!
is it the callaghan campus.Actually m planning to come next year some students say that staff is rude and building is outdated and its not worth to study here rather they say go for UNISA.sO WHAT WILL U SAY
What discipline or degree are you looking at?
Bachelors of business
Now I have 2 choices UON or UOW which should I go for
Okay, so NOT UniSA? Just UoN or UoW?
@@ChoosingYourUni yess right
Hey There! Really Appreciate all the effort that you have put in and answering each and every comment delivers on that point. I am planning to complete my MBA in HRM and UON is the only university to offer MBA+HRM combined whereas other universities are offering it as a specialisation. I am currently confused as to which university would be better in terms of employability, connection to the industry and Work integrated learning. I have looked upon University of Wollongong and I am more inclined towards UON, considering Newcastle might have more part time opportunities. Could you share your thoughts whether UON is a good option or should I look for a different University and any other university that you feel offers a great Programme in MBA.
Did you DM me on IG by any chance? I just had a similar question there.
Both UoN and UoW are interesting MBA programs imo.
They both have the advantage of being outside the âbigâ city of Sydney, but close to Sydney and also with offices there too.
Right now thereâs PLENTY of work all over Australia since backpackers and students have been blocked from the country for 18 months. I think there will still be shortages of staff for at least a year so if youâre planning on coming in first semester next year there should be heaps of casual work available.
Really glad for you prompt reply and no I did not DM any question on IG.
Thank you! Your answer did provide a little clarity.
Hi there again! I just wanted to know according to you which university has a strong business faculty and overall MBA program Newcastle or UniSA? And are there good part time opportunities available in Newcastle?
Both great programs with their own unique strengths. Adelaide and Newcastle are quite different as cities. Both business schools are well accredited and the MBA programs are good.
I am considering doing my bachelors in business administration here. Should i? And when exactly should i start applying for 2022 july intake??
Newcastle is a nice uni. Really set amongst the bush. Beautiful beaches in Newcastle too and the new business and law building in the city centre has great facilities.
Always apply as early as possible to give yourself plenty of time to get through all the paperwork!
Choosing Your Uni thanks alot!
đ
What about biomedical sciences department??
The biomed program is good at UoN from what I've heard.
I want to do MBA(global) from here. Do they provide placements and post study work permits fir this course?
Thatâs a good program. Newcastle is regional so should have post study work rights - although Iâm not sure if studying at the Sydney campus is different. The MBA has good connections with business.
I'm also planning to do mba.
For Which intake?
Any psychology students from UON?? What's it like?? Currently at WSU.
Psychology is a good program at UoN. I really like this uni. What would be your reason for changing? Are you not enjoying WSU?
@@ChoosingYourUni I LOVE WSU, but there is a chance that I may be moving to the Central Coast near Long Jetty, and so was considering transferring for convenience, however I really wouldn't want to do so if I wasn't confident that the program and campus life in general at UoN was just as fulfilling if not better than WSU! Your video has helped me a lot though, as well as the conversations it sparked in the comments, thank you!
How about bachelor of architecture course in this university
I believe that is a good program at Newcastle. Itâs a lovely town as well.
Hi! I wanna know about government scholarships in australia :/
Thatâs on my list of video topics. Iâve also got an upcoming livestream where Iâll touch on this!
Choosing Your Uni, thank u!!!

Hi, Im thinking about studying Business Analyst at this university. However, should I study at Newcastle or some universities at "big" cities like sydney or melborne, my budget can afford both, but Newcastle seems to be much cheaper:)) And does this university locate in town or countryside? because i think im more suitable to the city so it is thing im concerning aboutđł
Newcastle is definitely cheaper for cost of living and tuition. It has a campus in the city centre of Newcastle - NewSpace. Itâs a great space.
As to whether or not to choose that or a bigger city, I canât really speak on your behalf. Maybe watch this video: czcams.com/video/9UNh_p7FQK8/video.html
I am an international student and I am considering doing my bachelor of information and technology here in UoN. Is IT good here in UoN?
BTW the videos are really amazing mate. Really appreciate em!! âșïž
Thanks mate.
Iâm not sure about that program. It has advantages in that it will be less expensive and is at a regional uni (good for post study visa rights) but places like UTS, MQ and UNSW have stronger programs I think.
is there a cricket club in this university?
Check via Google
Should i prefer Wollongong or UON for masters in civil engineering? UON's degree is provisionally accredited.
Two good programs and similar unis in many ways. Wollongong is closer to Sydney so maybe easier access to internship/practical opportunities. I love both cities and unis - maybe UoW a shave ahead on this one for me.
hey there,
can you review the university of wollongong please?
Yeah, it's one of the only ones I haven't finished yet. I'll definitely get there!
Great, thanks for replying, looking forward to the review. :)
