Currently there are over 26,000 students (84% of whom are distance/online students) and approximately 1,200 academic and general staff.

Right from its inception as Australia’s first regional university, UNE has consistently redefined what a university is. UNE’s first Vice-Chancellor, Sir Robert (Bert) Madgwick, believed the University’s job is “to find out what people want… and never start with what the University thinks they need.” His personal mission was to help ordinary people to respond to a rapidly changing world for the purpose of empowering society.

In 2020, UNE underwent a comprehensive organisational change. Our new strategic plan, Future Fit, commits us to providing our students with personalised lifelong learning journeys, in line with Madgwick’s vision and founding goal of UNE being a leading regional university that empowers its communities and supports resilience in its people. This is a remarkable and exciting time to be part of UNE and the University is thrilled to announce we are currently recruiting for an Executive Principal to provide strategic leadership to ourEducation Futures division.

The Executive Principal Education Futures leads the University’s educational engagement with the community and industry sectors and focuses resources towards achievement of strategic objectives and development of new education directions at UNE where program quality, enrolment, retention and student success are top priorities.
