University of South Australia
The University of South Australia (UniSA) is the largest university in South Australia with a diverse population of over 30,000 students, including more than 9,000 international students. While our origins date back nearly 150 years, today UniSA is one of Australia's most modern and progressive education and research institutions.
Experience makes the difference
Choosing to study at UniSA means choosing to graduate with more than a degree
– with the experience you will gain during your studies you will enter the
workforce with the essential practical and personal skills needed to make an
immediate impact.
All UniSA programs are specifically designed in close consultation with our
network of industry and professional partners. UniSA programs emphasise
real-world experience, providing many students with the opportunity to
participate in fieldwork, work on industry projects, or undertake placements.
An international university
We are a university with a defined international focus, and in a changing
global environment, we understand the importance of equipping students with an
international perspective.
One of Australia's largest providers of offshore education, UniSA offers more
than 40 accredited academic programs in seven countries and has links with more
than 90 institutions worldwide. UniSA has credit transfer agreements in many
countries enabling students to receive advanced standing for studies previously
completed.
Progressive research for the real world
Research at UniSA is about creating and applying knowledge. UniSA has earned
a reputation for research excellence in Australia and overseas through
consistently solid results from our expert research teams.
Since 2000, UniSA has been awarded well over A$100 million in research funding
and, at the beginning of 2006, UniSA was ranked number one in the nation for
industry-sponsored research grants through the Australian Research Council.
Recognition for quality
In recent years our reputation for excellence has earned UniSA a ranking in
the top 200 universities in the world, and recognition as being among the top 50
universities within Australasia, Asia and Central and South America (Times HE
Supplement 2005). We have also won a number of significant awards and
commendations for our strategic approach to education and academic teaching.
UniSA alumni are highly sought-after and continue to succeed as scientists,
artists, Rhodes Scholars, educators, business and industry leaders, government
policy makers, executives and innovators in a variety of fields around the
world.
Extensive support services
UniSA offers a wide range of academic, social and personal support services
that help you settle in, excel in your studies, and make the most or your
experiences in Adelaide. International Student Advisers are dedicated to
providing assistance and support specifically to suit the needs of our
International Students. Services include free on-arrival reception,
international student orientation, accommodation, academic and language support,
and employment assistance.
UniSA Programs
UniSA offers the most diverse educational menu in South Australia at all
levels of tertiary study, with over 300 programs across some 40 disciplines.
Pre-university English language programs are available at CELUSA, UniSA’s
English language provider.
Adelaide – one of the world's most livable cities
In recent years the Economist Intelligence Unit has ranked Adelaide among the
top five most livable cities in the world, and also as the mainland Australian
capital city with the lowest cost of living. Not surprisingly it is rapidly
becoming a popular study destination. It is estimated that students will need to
budget a minimum of about A$245 per week or A$12740 per year.
