Tamworth will soon have a university campus with the University of New England committing to build their presence in the city.

The NSW Government have provided a $26.6 million grant to go towards the building of a new campus on the existing velodrome site.

Financial contributions have also been provided by UNE, Tamworth Regional Council and the Federal Government through the Job Ready Graduates program.

Building a university campus in Tamworth will have significant benefits for the city with more than $600 million of economic benefit over the next decade.

The course offerings at the campus are also designed to support existing local industries, ensuring our businesses have a pipeline of skilled workers that will allow them to grow.
