The University of Adelaide

One of the prestigious unis in the world. Make your dreams come true with comprehensive assistance from the beginning to the end. Lot of opportunities, friendly and helpful staff. Diverse community. Amazing study spaces tailored to match the needs of students. Advanced research culture. Everything at one place.

Historical buildings with slogan don’t repeat history make it.

Currently studying master of mechanical engineering here. Nice campus with warm staff. Some places are unable to access if you are not a student of the faculty after 6 o’clock on weekdays or whole weekends. The teaching styles of professors are all different but normally satisfied with them. If you are looking for a better future, be better prepared.

Beautiful campus, long history and many outstanding talents. Founded in 1874,The University of Adelaide is the third university in Australian history and the oldest university in South Australia. The North Terrace campus is located beside the beautiful Torrens River. As of 2019, The University of Adelaide has cultivated 5 Nobel Prize winners and 108 Rhodes scholars. Hope and believe that The University of Adelaide will cultivate more top talents. Sub Cruce Lumen.

I can only comment on the grounds.
An inviting and peaceful location in the heart of the city of Adelaide.
There are many outdoor areas for study, relaxation or to just sit and have a snack.
This campus is large. I recommend you access a map to make your visit more enjoyable.
You can walk from North Terrace, heading north, through the campus to access the River Torrens area.
Even an Australia Post outlet.
Wheelchair ♿ access is readily available throughout.
Lovely grounds to wander through or stop and just take in all the history of the beautiful old buildings.

Incredible Uni, friendly staff, good facilities. High tuition fee though!

Great place with positive vibes. everything is good but can anyone tell me why they need to make these uni's as they are just brought out from harry potter

"University of Adelaide: Where tradition meets innovation, fostering excellence in education, research, and a vibrant community, shaping leaders for a dynamic world."

I studied Master of International Trade and Development at Uni Adelaide. The North terrace campus is a beautiful one. I love the mosque at union house particularly.

The University of Adelaide is a public university located in Adelaide, South Australia. Established in 1874, it is the third-oldest university in Australia. The University is associated with five Nobel laureates and 104 Rhodes scholars.
The main campus of the University is on North Terrace. It is bordered by the Art Gallery of South Australia, the State Library of South Australia, the South Australian Museum and the "City East" campus of the University of South Australia. The Adelaide University Medical and Dental Schools were located across Frome Road, behind the old Royal Adelaide Hospital. The hospital moved and so have the schools.

The vast majority of students and staff of the University are based at the North Terrace campus, where the majority of courses are taught and schools are based. The central administration of the University and the main library, the Barr Smith Library, are both located on this campus. While many other universities have law and business schools or satellite campuses within the central business district, the University of Adelaide is unique among Australian sandstone universities for having its main presence adjacent to the main business and shopping precinct.

Bonython Hall, (the great hall of the University), the Mitchell Building, the Elder Hall, the Napier building and the Ligertwood building, form the North Terrace street frontage of the campus. Bonython Hall is one of the many historic and heritage listed buildings located at the North Terrace campus. Others include the Mitchell Building, Elder Hall, and the Reading Room of the Barr Smith Library.

In 2016, the university commenced work on a $1 billion, 20-year "Masterplan" for its three campuses. The masterplan envisages new facilities for all Schools, and greatly enhanced campus amenities for students, with a focus on pedestrians and cyclists, providing better, safer pathways through the campus, and eliminating vehicle traffic where possible. At North Terrace, the Schulz building will be repurposed as an on-campus residential college, with accommodation, and recreational facilities including a gym. This major transformation of the university's physical presence across all campuses comes in conjunction with the multimillion-dollar renewal and redevelopment of the old Royal Adelaide Hospital (RAH) site on North Terrace. In 2016, the RAH moved to the West end of North Terrace, in the $4 billion South Australian Health and Biomedical Precinct (SAHBP), at which the University of Adelaide also has a physical presence in the form of the Adelaide Health and Medical Sciences Building.

Love the atmosphere. The sun the stairs, the Cloisters

Beautiful University, lovely gardens and easy to locate buildings.

The University of Adelaide was established on 6 November 1874 after a £20,000 donation by grazier and copper miner Walter Watson Hughes, along with support and donations from Thomas Elder.

The university's first chancellor was Sir Richard Hanson, and the first vice-chancellor was Augustus Short. The first degree offered was the Bachelor of Arts, and the university started teaching in March 1876. John Davidson was the first Hughes professor of English literature and mental and moral philosophy.

The university has a long history of championing the rights of women in higher education. It was the second university in the English-speaking world (after the University of London, 1878) to admit women on equal terms with men (1881), although women studied alongside men from the commencement of classes in 1876 and were equally eligible for all academic prizes and honours. Its first female graduate was Edith Emily Dornwell, who was also the first person in Australia to receive the degree of Bachelor of Science (BSc., 1885). The university also graduated Australia's first female surgeon Laura Fowler (MB, 1891). Ruby Davy (B.Mus., 1907; D.Mus., 1918) was the first Australian woman to receive a doctorate in music. The university was also the first to elect a woman to a university council in Australia, Helen Mayo (MBBS, 1902), in 1914.

The University of Adelaide is one of Australia's most research-intensive institutions. A 1700-year-old Roman glass cup is inspiring University of Adelaide researchers in their search for new ways to exploit nanoparticles and their interactions with light.

Researchers in the University's Institute for Photonics and Advanced Sensing (IPAS) are investigating how to best embed nanoparticles in glass - instilling the glass with the properties of the nanoparticles it contains.

"Nanoparticles and nanocrystals are the focus of research around the world because of their unique properties that have the potential to bring great advances in a wide range of medical, optical and electronic fields," says Associate Professor Heike Ebendorff-Heidepriem, Senior Research Fellow in the University's School of Chemistry and Physics. "A process for successfully incorporating nanoparticles into glass, will open the way for applications like ultra low-energy light sources, more efficient solar cells or advanced sensors that can see inside the living human brain."

Very helpful gor uni students as various computers are available and ask adelaide is here to help students.

My home for the next 2 years.

Nice facilities, pretty buildings, helpful staff and it’s a very suitable atmosphere for self-learning.

A great university with a proud track record of having produced outstanding researchers and scholars. A location within the city centre makes it easily accessible.The campus in the city centre is within easy walking distance to buses, trams and trains.

Popped by here when visiting a relative who is a student. Good first impressions and enjoyed the artwork.

When I visited Adelaide I had a walk around this campus. It was very beautiful and the facilities looked very good and that they would accommodate students very well. The food was also very nice from the few places I tried.
