By every measure, the University of Adelaide—a member of Australia’s prestigious Group of Eight research-intensive universities—stands tall among the world’s leading institutions of learning and innovation.

At Adelaide, cutting-edge creativity happens in the midst of a rich tradition of success that stretches over 140 years. Bright young minds work in their professions alongside globally recognized leaders. The effect of global research is accomplished hand in hand with excellent outcomes in graduate careers.
