University of Newcastle releases its mid year offers

The University of Newcastle has released a record 1106 offers for mid-year enrolment.

Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Services), Dr Sue Gould, said the University of Newcastle was releasing the second largest number of offers in NSW.

According to Dr Gold, data from the Australian Graduate Survey shows that 82 per cent of the University's bachelor degree graduates under 25 find jobs within four months of finishing their degree. This is above the national average.

"Students are increasingly turning to the University of Newcastle's mid-year enrolments to start their studies. Mid-year entry means they do not have to wait until next year to commence studying and kick start their career."

The most popular degree programs are the Bachelor of Nursing and Bachelor of Teaching/Bachelor of Arts.
