The University of Newcastle is using the relocation of their business, commerce and law programs to the Newcastle CBD as an opportunity to engage and partner with organisations from the Hunter in innovative ways.

 

The Faculty will be increasing the number of public lectures open to the local community, delivering leaders in the fields of business, commerce, innovation and law. Researchers from the Faculty will have a renewed opportunity to engage with businesses to address the current and future needs of regional, national and global industry. The University’s Legal Centre will continue to grow and support the Hunter community, and the new campus will feature state-of-the-art facilities open for public use, such as the digital library service, café, wifi and event space.

 

The new campus will host degree programs in business, commerce and law at a postgraduate and undergraduate level, including the new Bachelor of Innovation and Entrepreneurship. This new degree is one of many ways in which the University is responding to an increased need for innovation in our region and nationally.

 

To ensure graduates from all degrees have strong focus on building the work-ready skills needed to succeed in their chosen careers, the Faculty collaborates with local professionals to deliver a range of work-ready initiatives. Students thrive on the different perspective professional experience provides to their studies.

 

Continuing a strong history of collaboration with local industry, the move to NeW Space will enable the Faculty of Business and Law to reach out to the community through exciting initiatives.

NeW Space is due to open to students, staff and the public in 2017 and the Faculty is looking forward to building and strengthening our partnerships with businesses and the community in the Hunter.
