UNE plans for Tamworth campus
UNE's Tamworth campus could boast 10,000 or even 20,000 students within a decade, the UNE's Vice Chancellor has revealed.
The university is aiming to sign a state government deed governing funding for the project within weeks.
"My ten-year aspiration is competitively big," VC Brigid Heywood said.
"We're very comfortable with the idea of having 10,000 students roaming in and out of this complex because that would be entirely consistent with the growth ambitions of Tamworth."
