WHY CHOOSE THE UNIVERSITY OF ADELAIDE

Established: 1874. Student population: 20 000. International students: 5 000. Location: Adelaide, South Australia

The University of Adelaide is Australia’s third-oldest university, and is ranked in the top 100 universities by the Times Higher Education Supplement in 2007 and in the top 25 universities in the Asia Pacific by the Shanghai Jiao Tong University Academic Ranking of World Universities in 2006.  It is associated with five Nobel Prize winners and over 100 Rhodes scholars, and is a member of the Group of Eight, Australia’s leading research-intensive universities.

With 20 000 students (5000 are international students, from over 90 countries) and over 2400 staff, the University is small enough to provide personal interaction with teaching staff, yet large enough to offer a broad range of courses and student support services, and has one of the best student ‑ staff ratios in Australia.  The institution has also received numerous learning and teaching awards in recent years in recognition of the quality of its academic staff.

Adelaide is a friendly, safe city with a population of 1.2 million people with a relaxed lifestyle and a cost of living which is significantly lower than that of bigger Australian cities.  South Australia also offers international students a concession card for public transport. The city is within easy reach of some of Australia’s most spectacular coastal scenery and world-renowned wineries, and is a few hours from outback Australia.
