It’s now registered as a Private Education Provider in Singapore – it plans to become more

The university has provided courses there for 15 years in partnerships but is now able to offer courses under its own brand, Newcastle Australia Institute of Higher Education. It’s starting with five masters, as a step towards teaching international students in Singapore – which involves a four year accreditation process.

This is an extension of the strategy to embed in the region. Uni Newcastle has a joint medical science programme with Chulabhorn Royal Academy in Thailand and five medicine and health science programmes with the International Medical University in Malaysia.
