The University of Adelaide

The University of Adelaide is a member of Australia’s prestigious Group of Eight research-intensive universities and stands tall among the world’s leading institutions of learning and innovation.

The clearest indication of this is its consistently high rating by the most respected international assessment bodies: QS World University Rankings, Times Higher Education and Shanghai Jiao Tong’s Academic Rankings of World Universities (ARWU). All rank the University of Adelaide in the top 1% of universities worldwide, and the top university in South Australia.

The University is equally proud of the fact that the vast majority of its research is rated ‘above or well above world standard’ by the Australian Research Council’s Excellence in Research Australia program.

Among its distinguished alumni include five Nobel Laureates; over 100 Rhodes Scholars, including Australia’s first Indigenous recipient; and Australia’s first female prime minister and Supreme Court judge. Many of the University’s staff and teachers are internationally recognised leaders in their fields and the University attracts a diverse student body of over 27,000 from more than 90 countries.
