Why Adelaide? Students can truly immerse themselves in Australian culture by studying and socialising with local and other international students, while still earning valuable academic credit from a prestigious Australian university and exploring some of South Australia’s best cultural landmarks. Students will be surprised how quickly they can ‘feel at home’ in the beautiful compact city of Adelaide. Students will be amazed by the beauty and variety of nature found in South Australia, all within short reach of Adelaide. Lush hills to the east, white sandy beaches to the west, dusty outback to the north and rugged coastline to the south mean that they will never tire of exploring their Australian home, even in the cooler winter months. Outstanding Location The University of Adelaide is located in the cultural heart of Adelaide, the capital city of South Australia. The University’s attractive main campus is situated in the centre of Adelaide’s thriving retail, dining and cultural district, bordered by the Art Gallery, Museum, State Library, Festival Centre, Botanical Gardens, CBD and the River Torrens – an ideal location for local and international students alike.

It is an attractive, friendly, safe and well‐planned city of wide streets and boulevards, squares, parklands and a mixture of historic and modern buildings. With a population of 1.1 million, Adelaide is Australia’s fifth largest city.
