Launceston is home to both our Newnham and Inveresk campuses. Newnham is a spacious, 50-hectare campus overlooking the stunning Tamar River, and just a short drive from the city centre. Our Inveresk Campus is located near the inner city, alongside the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery.
The University offers a range of convenient and comfortable accommodation options. These include studio apartments, on-campus accommodation, and more. Inveresk will become the main campus for Launceston from 2024, with a staged transition for students from 2023.
