UNE Student Journey

Following our rollout announcement earlier this year, we’ve been checking in with students on how they're actually using UNE’s custom AI workspace, Madgwick Student.

From organising study plans and practising professional communication, to breaking down complex concepts and identifying gaps in understanding, students are using Madgwick Student as a powerful support tool ...

.. all within a free, secure, university-managed workspace that gives students access to a range of AI tools, enables them to build their own team of AI assistants, and supports study in preparation for an AI-enabled workplace.

See what these students had to say.

"We don't promise that earning a UNE degree will be easy, but we will do our utmost to make sure that UNE is a supportive partner throughout the study process. That's what we've done for 70 years, and [these] rankings indicate that we continue to excel in that role." - UNE VC, Prof Chris Moran ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

ICYMI, the University of New England has again received five stars for Overall Experience in the latest Good Universities Guide – the 20th consecutive year this rating has recognised our supportive and adaptable learning environment.

The rating is student-driven - thank you to all who've given us this incredible feedback over the years!

UNE is the country's only public university to have achieved this rating annually across two decades of rankings by the Guide.

UNE also was awarded five stars for its performance in the Social Equity, Undergraduate Full-Time Employment, and Undergraduate Starting Salary categories.
