Campus facilities
This is arguably Australia’s prettiest campus,

also bordered by the stunning River Torrens.
Its five faculties and numerous schools are

is the university’s high-calibre staff, offering
a wealth of experience in both teaching and

Whether you want to gain an

in Adelaide. We have internationally-
recognised universities, an extensive
Vocational Education and Training (VET)

wanting to learn English have a variety
of flexible programmes to choose from;
just as importantly, this English-speaking

This is in addition to points received for

Adelaide is famous for its lifestyle: we

wine and great conversation. But we’re
also very welcoming. This was the first

their lives as they saw fit. Yes, Adelaide is
cosmopolitan – but importantly, it’s also
safe, respectful and very inclusive.

Adelaide has been called the world’s most

be delighting in its vibrant restaurant

with some of Australia’s most stunning

and the interior is home to rolling hills,

hard work, but also from the enjoyable
atmosphere and dedicated staff. “
UniSA’s library and student support
facilities have also helped James get
the most out of his studies. “I have used
Campus Central on a number of occasions.
If you are stuck and need instant advice,
Campus Central is the place to go!”
“The library facilities are first class and
library staff are attentive to students.”
Andre thought UniSA was a great
university. “I like the way it is so different
to my home uni. Especially the clubs, like
the Exchange Society, made my life as a
UniSA student so much easier. In general
I just enjoyed that everyone was so
friendly and willing to help with any kind
of problems. It was a great experience to
study at UniSA.”
Andre said Adelaide was hassle free, and
the affordable cost of living meant he was
able to enjoy lots of activities outside
of class. “There were a lot of things
to do in Adelaide: I went to Adelaide
United Soccer and Port Adelaide Football
matches, went to the Zoo, Cleland

house. His advice to prospective students

After receiving a recommendation from
a friend of his and hearing a lot of great
things about living in Adelaide, Daniel
chose to study at UniSA.
“I heard a lot of good things about
Adelaide. Great uni. Cost of living is cheap.
Good weather and great beaches. The
lifestyle in Adelaide is not that fast as in
other big city like Adelaide.”
Daniel studied Information Security,
Realtime Systems and Control and
Enterprise Resource Planning and found his
UniSA experience and UniSA staff to be very
supportive and friendly.
“When we had problems, UniSA staff had
time to solve these problems with us.”
Studying abroad is not just about learning
and studying at another institution, it
is also about experience new cultures,
seeing new sights and living life in another
country.
Daniel explored Adelaide and Australia by:
• Taking a nine-day road trip from Adelaide
to Uluru with some study friends
• Visiting Kangaroo Island
• Driving the Great Ocean road on the way
to Melbourne
• Flying to Darwin and visiting Kakadu
National Park
• Spending fourteen days and taking a trip
from Cairns to Sydney seeing: The Great
Barrier Reef, Whitsundays, Magnetic
Island
• Enjoying Adelaide and its surroundings
such as Second Valley and the York
Peninsula

South Australia is considered to have the most
accessible wildlife in Australia. It‘s one of the
few places you can swim with wild sea-lions
and dolphins, walk down eucalyptus-lined lanes
spotting koalas, and view groups of kangaroos
grazing the land. Majestic whales, playful sea-
lions, dainty Leafy Sea Dragons and parading
penguins play on our coasts and in our seas.

For many people, even Australians, the Outback
is an unknown and mystical place, a world
away from their daily lives. For us, the Outback
is just out back - Australia’s most legendary
countryside, with vast dramatic landscapes, huge
horizons and skies, quirky towns and people.
It’s this ease of access that makes South
Australia the ideal place for an Outback holiday.
It is easier to reach from Adelaide than any
other Australian city. Port Augusta, gateway to
the Outback, is at the head of Spencer Gulf, a
three-hour drive north of Adelaide, from where
it is easy to explore the outstanding natural
attractions and Indigenous culture over 45,000
years old.
W
Straddling the centre of the Australian continent,
South Australia is the heart and powerhouse of
Australian wine, producing most of the nation’s
wine and boasting some of the oldest individual
vines in the world. Distinct regions earning global
reputations include the Barossa, Coonawarra,
Fleurieu Peninsula and Clare Valley.
