History

• Calls to extend tertiary education beyond Sydney gathered force after the First World War, and in the early 1920s the Armidale member of parliament David Drummond led a delegation to the state government seeking a university college in the town.第一次世界大战之后，把高等教育扩展到悉尼之外的呼声日益高涨；1920 年代初，阿米代尔选区议员戴维·德拉蒙德率团前往州政府，争取在当地设立一所大学学院。
• A New South Wales royal commission chaired by John Jacob Cohen reported in 1924 that a rural university deserved consideration, and the Armidale Teachers' College, whose foundation stone was laid in 1928, became the first institutional building block of the project.由约翰·雅各布·科恩主持的新南威尔士州皇家委员会于 1924 年报告称，应当考虑创办一所乡村大学；1928 年奠基的阿米代尔师范学院则成为该项目的第一块制度基石。
• The campaign drew strength from the New England statehood movement of the early 1930s, with Colin Sinclair, Earle Page and Victor Thompson joining Drummond as prominent advocates for a university in the north of the state.这场运动从 1930 年代初的新英格兰建州运动中汲取力量，科林·辛克莱、厄尔·佩奇与维克多·汤普森同德拉蒙德一道，成为在州北部创办大学的著名倡导者。
• A provisional council formed in 1934 to raise funds, and in 1938 the New England University College opened in Armidale as a college of the University of Sydney, with Earle Page chairing its inaugural advisory council.1934 年成立了一个筹措资金的临时理事会；1938 年，新英格兰大学学院作为悉尼大学的属校在阿米代尔开学，厄尔·佩奇出任首届咨询理事会主席。
• The University of New England Act 1953 (NSW) took effect in 1954, making the college a fully independent university with its own degree-granting powers, and Robert Madgwick became its first vice-chancellor.1953 年新英格兰大学法案（新南威尔士州）于 1954 年生效，使该学院成为拥有自主学位授予权的完全独立大学，罗伯特·马奇威克出任首任校长。
• A faculty of education was created in 1967, reflecting the institution's long involvement in teacher training that reached back to the Armidale Teachers' College founded four decades earlier.1967 年该校设立教育学院，这体现了其自四十年前阿米代尔师范学院创立以来在师资培养方面的长期投入。
• Peace studies began at UNE in 1982 and grew into one of the university's distinctive fields, offering undergraduate majors as well as research higher degrees in conflict resolution and peacebuilding.新英格兰大学的和平研究始于 1982 年，后来发展成为该校颇具特色的领域之一，既开设本科主修方向，也提供冲突解决与和平建设方向的研究型高等学位。

• The Orange Agricultural College joined the network in 1990, and the UNE-Coffs Harbour Centre delivered courses drawn from academic departments on the Armidale and Lismore campuses.1990 年奥兰治农学院加入该网络，新英格兰大学科夫斯港中心则开设由阿米代尔与利斯莫尔校区各学术系所提供的课程。
• In November 1993 the state parliament passed the University of New England Act 1993 and the Southern Cross University Act 1993, dismantling the network so that from 1994 UNE had a single campus at Armidale while Southern Cross University took over Lismore and Coffs Harbour.1993 年 11 月，州议会通过 1993 年新英格兰大学法案与 1993 年南十字星大学法案，解散了这一网络；自 1994 年起新英格兰大学只在阿米代尔保留一个校区，利斯莫尔与科夫斯港则归南十字星大学。
• The Orange campus was transferred to the University of Sydney at the same time, and UNE established its law school in 1994, the year in which the single-campus structure took effect.奥兰治校区同时移交悉尼大学；1994 年，也就是单一校区结构生效的同年，新英格兰大学设立了自己的法学院。
• The School of Rural Medicine began teaching in 2008 through a joint medical programme with the University of Newcastle, extending clinical training into northern New South Wales.农村医学学院于 2008 年通过与纽卡斯尔大学合办的医学项目开始授课，把临床训练扩展到新南威尔士州北部。
