History and Facts
The University of Newcastle (UoN), informally known as Newcastle University, is an Australian public
university established in 1965. It has a primary campus in Callaghan, a suburb of Newcastle, New
South Wales. The university also operates campuses in Ourimbah, Port Macquarie, Singapore,
Newcastle CBD and Sydney CBD. Historically, the University of Newcastle Medical School has
implemented the problem-based learning system for its undergraduate Bachelor of Medicine program
– a system later mandated for use by the Australian Medical Council throughout Australia. It
pioneered use of the Undergraduate Medicine and Health Sciences Admission Test (UMAT) in the
early 1990s. UMAT has since been accepted widely by different medical schools across Australia as
an additional selection criterion.
The University of Newcastle is a member of Universities Australia and the Association to Advance
Collegiate Schools of Business. In 2015 Times Higher Education ranked the University of Newcastle
number 2 in Australia and number 30 in the world for universities under 50 years of age.
Campuses and Operations
The university offers online, face-to-face, or a mix of the two, with campuses at Callaghan, Ourimbah,
Port Macquarie, Singapore and Sydney CBD. The university also has three premises within the
Newcastle city centre.
Newcastle (Callaghan campus): The Callaghan campus is the university’s main and largest campus. It
is located in the Newcastle suburb of Callaghan situated approximately 12 kilometres (7 mi) from
Newcastle CBD. The campus is placed on 140 hectares (346 acres) of natural bushland within which
the university’s numerous buildings are located. The land is traditionally owned by the
PambalongClan of the Awabakal people, a connection which has been developed by the University
and is seen as a selling point for academics.
Central Coast (Ourimbah campus): Ourimbah Campus is a cross-institutional campus, with the
University of Newcastle, TAFE NSW – Hunter Institute, and the Central Coast Community College

each having a presence. It is located in the Central Coast suburb of Ourimbah. The Faculties of
