Science Theatre (STH), The University of Newcastle, Australia

Welcome to the Science Theatre (STH) at The University of Newcastle, Australia. Located at Callaghan, University Drive, our institution is a point of interest and a university, offering a unique experience in the field of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).

As part of the College of Engineering, Science and Environment, we are dedicated to delivering life-ready graduates and transformative solutions to our region and the world. Through excellence and innovation in education and research, our goal is to change the world for the better. We focus on developing innovative, resourceful, and creative graduates who will become future leaders in industry, the profession, and the community.

With expertise spanning across the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, we are global leaders in uncovering new knowledge, creating revolutionary technology, and delivering innovative teaching methods. Our commitment extends beyond academic pursuits, as we are passionate about engaging with the rich diversity of our communities. Whether it's inspiring the next generation of women in STEM or supporting Indigenous education, we strive to make a positive impact.

Our researchers are at the forefront of groundbreaking discoveries and life-changing innovations. For example, Professor Behdad Moghtaderi is leading the charge in transforming the mining sector to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve our quality of life. Additionally, our researchers have improved conventional soft soil testing, saving taxpayer money and reducing project delays for infrastructure projects.

At the Science Theatre, we offer a world-class learning experience that equips our graduates to pursue fulfilling careers in a broad range of fields and make meaningful changes in the world. Our internationally-renowned researchers drive discoveries that challenge conventional thinking, break new ground, and change lives.

Our strong global footprint is a testament to the impact of our people, partnerships, and research outcomes. We engage with industry to build stronger communities, work towards a sustainable future, and provide real-world opportunities for our students.

We are proud to be involved in various initiatives and partnerships. For instance, we have partnered with ASCON Group to bring a revolutionary carbon capture technology to market, with the potential to help heavy industries reach net zero emissions by 2030. We also host events like the Three-Minute Thesis competition and Newcastle Open Day, where prospective students can get a taste of university life.

In addition to our academic endeavors, we prioritize environmental conservation. Our researchers utilize heat-detecting drones to gather data on koala populations in Port Stephens LGA, contributing to their conservation efforts.

Whether you're a student, researcher, industry partner, or someone interested in learning more about the world of STEM, we invite you to explore the Science Theatre at The University of Newcastle, Australia. Join us in our mission to create a better future through knowledge, innovation, and collaboration.
