About Avondale University

A typical Avondale student is looking for a smaller university where education, health, business and the sciences sit alongside questions of community and purpose. Study options run from certificates and diplomas through to coursework and research higher degrees, with particular strength in education, nursing and health-related study, business, science, and social fields.

Avondale University is a private university linked to the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Its main setting is Lake Macquarie, on the NSW Central Coast near Newcastle, with higher education also offered in Sydney. The Lake Macquarie campus has a leafy, residential feel rather than the pace of a central-city university, while the Sydney presence may suit those wanting access to a larger metropolitan setting.

Teaching at Avondale tends to connect professional preparation with service, ethics and community involvement. Education courses suit future teachers; health study is aimed at clinical and care-based work; and business or science can appeal to applicants who prefer a values-informed university environment. It will suit international students comfortable with a faith-based institution, including those who do not share its denomination but are happy to engage respectfully with its Christian character. Those seeking a large, highly urban campus or a very broad subject selection may find the setting less suitable.
