The University
Since its establishment in 1874, the University of Adelaide has developed a reputation for excellence in teaching, learning and research. Ranked in the top 1% of universities worldwide, the University is associated with five Nobel Prize winners, has produced 105 Rhodes Scholars and 116 Fulbright Scholars. The University is also a member of the Group of Eight—Australia’s leading research-intensive universities. From the start, the University of Adelaide has been one of Australia’s most progressive institutions.
With over 3,000 staff, the University is well equipped to provide our 25,000+ students with not only a broad range of programmes and student support services, but importantly, personal interaction with teaching staff. At the University of Adelaide we are committed to developing quality graduates, recognised internationally for their leadership, creativity and ability to influence positive change.
Over 7,000 international students from more than 90 countries make up approximately 28 per cent of the student population. A truly international outlook requires engagement, and the University has many formal agreements for student and staff exchange, research collaboration and other forms of cooperation with leading universities, research institutes and academies around the world.
Quality Facilities and Resources
With a blend of traditional sandstone and innovative infrastructure, we offer a wide range of facilities, including modern lecture theatres, state-of-the-art laboratories and computer suites, and an outstanding library with over two million items. Since 2007 the University of Adelaide has invested heavily to improve the research and teaching facilities for every student and staff member on our campuses. Cultural and recreational pursuits are also well catered for, with expansive sporting grounds, arts venues, a variety of retail outlets and many acres of open space.
Outstanding Research
The University is one of the most research intensive universities in Australia on the basis of per capita research grant income. The University is home to a significant number of specialised Research Centres and has established six major Research Institutes, a number of which are in partnership with government and industry. The Research Institutes bring together world leading researchers supported by modern infrastructure and an innovative culture, to tackle national and international research priorities.
The City of Adelaide
With great shopping and beaches, a cafe culture and affordable student accommodation, Adelaide offers a relaxed lifestyle with all the conveniences of city living. Easy to get around Adelaide is a busy and vibrant city, but unlike some larger cities, getting around is quick and easy; traffic jams are rare. Student accommodation is more affordable in Adelaide than in other cities in Australia and much of it is in the heart of the city, meaning plenty of students simply walk to their lectures. Adelaide is one of Australia’s most cosmopolitan cities, with an array of cafés, restaurants and shops reflecting the diversity of its ethnic communities
