Adelaide University
Adelaide University is a comprehensive, research-intensive university based in Adelaide, South Australia, created through the merger of the University of Adelaide and the University of South Australia - formally established in January 2026. It combines the long-standing research tradition and academic strengths of Australia’s third oldest university with the applied, industry-connected focus of South Australia’s largest tertiary institution.
The new university is a member of Australia’s Group of Eight and aspires to be among the world’s leading research and education hubs, with a diverse student community, global partnerships, and a strong emphasis on innovation and societal impact.
Adelaide University offers an extensive portfolio of undergraduate, postgraduate, and research degrees across multiple disciplines and is committed to excellence in teaching, research, and industry engagement. Its campuses span urban Adelaide and regional South Australia and include facilities for collaborative innovation, high-impact research, and practical learning experiences.
Adelaide University delivers transformative research across five signature research themes. These have been chosen to address the complex challenges of our time, aligned to local, national and global priorities. Across every area, we work to move breakthroughs beyond the lab and into communities where they can make a real difference.
Our research themes:
- Creative and Cultural
- Defence and National Security
- Food, Agriculture and Wine
- Personal and Societal Health
- Sustainable Green Transition
Of equal importance is our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Research Strategy, along with strategic initiatives such as ReALInnovation.
