The University of Newcastle

Established in 1965 and located in Callaghan, Newcastle, New South Wales, the university was founded as part of an innovative new incentive to move away from the traditional methods of the older universities of Australia and begin new ways of researching business, the arts, engineering and information technology. Its reputation as one of the most innovative of institutions still stands. Its 18,000 students can enjoy beautiful surroundings over the three main campuses and a wide variety of subjects available for study. Some of Australia's most notable theatre directors and actors studied at Newcastle.
