Newcastle University's bid for mega future
THE University of Newcastle is aiming to become a multi-campus mega university by 2020 under a major program of expansion.
Key projections for the university over the coming decade include increasing its student population by a third to 40,000, making it one of the top three regional universities in Australia.
It will be housed in campuses at Callaghan, Newcastle, Ourimbah, Port Macquarie, Sydney, Singapore, a new Hunter Medical Research Institute building and online.
The institution will exceed Federal Government targets for students from a low socio-economic background, extend its post-graduate course list and host the best engineering and health faculties in the country for its size.
