                                   Mr Pala Ram, Managing Director
The UNI Ethos
At UNI, we strive to deliver Quality, Value and Flexibility throughout our programs.

Our international reputation enables us to offer the best in teaching
staff, facilities and course design. Smaller class sizes allow for greater
support and guidance to students, and individual one-on-one sessions
are available for students with specialised needs. Most importantly, we
offer a warm and caring learning environment in which the individual
matters most. We take pride in helping you progress from strength to
strength, and believe that your success is also our success.

                          UNI's mission in education is to develop the student as a whole,
                          emphasising tolerance, responsibility, and personal and academic
                          excellence within a culturally diverse and internationally accredited
                          school. Education is more than acquiring knowledge and skills.
                          Taking this knowledge and using it to grow as a person and a
                          professional is what makes a truly educated individual.
Adelaide UNI Institute
From humble beginnings in India in 2000, UNI is now a global IT
educator with branches in India, Fiji, the United Kingdom and Australia.
This international success means that UNI can now offer its students
highly qualified teachers and cutting edge courses in a country
                                                                              Adelaide
renowned for the provision of world class education.

Adelaide plays host to over 15 000 international students each year, and enjoys a reputation
as a leading educational city. With lush parklands, a vibrant cafe lifestyle and a warm
Mediterranean climate, Adelaide is a relaxed place to live, work and study.
Living in Adelaide
Adelaide is a remarkably easy city to navigate, with only a 20 minute drive from
the city to the renowned Adelaide Hills, famous for spectacular fresh produce, fine
wines and scenery. Also a 20 minute drive from the CBD are some of Adelaide’s
finest beaches, a small sample of South Australia’s 5000 kilometres of coastline.
The CBD itself is also easy to navigate with its clear grid design.




Public transport is a great way to get around Adelaide. Buses, trains and trams
carry thousands of commuters to and from the CBD every day in a safe, timely
and environmentally friendly manner. Within the CBD there are two free bus
services, providing convenient links between hospitals, schools, Government
services, tourist attractions, Universities, shopping precincts and much more.
Tram travel is also free within the CBD.
  Living in Adelaide
Adelaide is one of Australia’s most affordable cities to live in, especially as a student.
On average, an international student requires around A$270 per week, or A$14 000
per year to cover all living expenses. Eligible students also receive discounts on
tickets for public transport, tourist attractions, cinemas and festivals.
Adelaide loves its food, and there is no shortage of great dining options for any
budget. For fantastic cheap meals, head to the lively Central Market, bursting with
fresh produce, quality cafes and food halls with a truly international flavour.




South Australia is widely known as the Festival State, and our Arts and Fringe
Festivals are recognised as some of the best performing arts festivals in the world.
                        Sport is also a prominent aspect of the Australian lifestyle.
                        Every March the city holds the largest motor sport festival in
                        the Southern Hemisphere, hot on the heels of a summer of
                        international cricket at the world famous Adelaide Oval.
