 THE UNIVERSITY
OF ADELAIDE
With more than 135 years of excellence in
education, the University of Adelaide is one
of Australia’s oldest and most prestigious
tertiary institutions.
Since its establishment in 1874, the University
has developed a reputation for excellence
in teaching, learning and research, with
major strengths in agriculture, wine and
food, biological sciences, physical sciences,
health sciences, information technology and
telecommunications, environmental sciences
and social sciences.
The University is associated with five Nobel
Prize winners, has produced 102 Rhodes
Scholars and 104 Fulbright Scholars, and is
a member of the Group of Eight – Australia’s
leading research-intensive universities.
With more than 20,000 students and over
2,800 staff, the University is small enough to
provide personal interaction with teaching
staff, yet large enough to offer a broad range
of programs and student support services.
At the heart of the University’s vision is a
belief that the experience of the student is
fundamental, and that research and high
quality teaching have a symbiotic relationship
that underpins and characterises the finest
universities in the world.
The University of Adelaide is committed to
producing graduates recognised worldwide
for their creativity, knowledge and skills, as
well as their culture and tolerance.

institutes and academies around the world.
A Progressive Institution
From the start, the University of Adelaide
has been one of Australia’s most progressive
institutions. It was the first Australian
university to admit women to academic
programs – in 1881, ahead of Oxford (1920)
and Cambridge (1948).
Adelaide was the first Australian university
to grant degrees in science, and the first to
establish a Conservatorium of Music. Adelaide
graduated Australia’s first woman surgeon
(Laura Margaret Fowler), the first woman
elected to a university council in Australia
(Helen Mayo), and the first Australian woman
to be a Queen’s Counsel, South Australian
Supreme Court Judge, Chancellor of an
Australian university and Governor of an
Australian State (Dame Roma Mitchell).

8 LIVING IN ADELAIDE
With a pleasant climate, thriving economy, dynamic
cultural scene and affordable cost of living, South
Australia offers an enviable lifestyle in an environment
that is ideal for study.
Home to many indigenous groups for thousands of years
before European settlement began in 1836, Adelaide has since
welcomed migrants from all over the world and is characterised
by a great diversity of cultural traditions, languages spoken,
and systems of belief.
The state of South Australia boasts a stable economy and low
unemployment rate, with a broad base of thriving industries,
including agriculture, wine, information and communications
technology, automotive production, defence, biosciences,
health, tourism and the arts.
Australia’s fifth largest city, Adelaide has over 1.2 million people,
a population comparable to that of cities such as Amsterdam
and Copenhagen. Adelaide has all of the advantages of a major
city but few of the inconveniences.
Adelaide is situated on a fertile plain flanked by the natural
beauty of the Adelaide Hills and 22 kilometres of white sandy
beaches within easy reach of the city.
Adelaide is a very safe, relaxed and affordable place to live.
The Economist Intelligence Unit’s 2009 Liveability Survey ranked
Adelaide in the top 10% of more than 140 cities, and Mercer
Consulting’s 2009 Cost of Living Survey found Adelaide to be
the most affordable city in Australia.
The cost of living in Adelaide is up to 24% less than Sydney,
21% less than Melbourne, and 8% less than Perth and Brisbane.

from one student to another. These are basic
living costs at the time of publication and do
not include program tuition fees, costs for
textbooks, other study related needs, running
a car, medical expenses, or any luxuries.
* Accommodation costs vary significantly based
on location, type and arrangement. For
example, centrally located accommodation
generally costs more than in the outer suburbs.
Similarly, students can lower their accommod-
ation costs by sharing with other students
- the lower end of the price range shown

22 MONEY MATTERS
International applicants need to consider a
range of financial issues, including the cost
of living, health insurance and tuition fees,
before applying to the University.
Planning a Budget
Adelaide is one of Australia’s more affordable
cities, with average weekly expenses lower
than Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane*.
Accommodation is the largest variable
expense – it can cost anywhere from around
A$110 for shared private accommodation
outside of the city centre, to A$200 for
University-managed accommodation within
the city centre, or A$250 for private sole
occupancy accommodation.
There can be large set-up costs associated
with private accommodation which can be
avoided by choosing University-managed
accommodation.
* Source: Economist Intelligence Unit, 2009
Application Fee
An application fee of A$100 must accompany
the University of Adelaide Undergraduate
Application Form. An exemption may apply for
government/externally-sponsored students.
Tuition Fees
International students are required to pay
international student tuition fees, which
cover the cost of teaching and many student
support services. The Indicative Annual
Tuition Fee quoted in this prospectus is
based on the standard full-time enrolment
load of 24 units per year or 12 units per
semester. The quoted fee is a base fee
that will be subject to a discretionary annual
increase for each of the subsequent years
in the program for the duration published in
this prospectus.
Each student will be advised of their fee
schedule in their offer of admission to the
University. Fees may vary depending on
enrolment load; if students ‘overload’ or
‘underload’, fees may be increased or
decreased accordingly.
New international students are required to
pay a tuition fee deposit of A$9,000 when
accepting an offer of admission. The payment
will be counted as credit towards tuition fees
in the first enrolment period.
After enrolment, students are invoiced for the
balance of their fees in that enrolment period.
The University invoices you (or your sponsor)
each enrolment period according to your
enrolment load.
Study Related Costs
All students should allow at least A$500
per year for textbooks and basic study
materials. Depending on the program, other
costs may include specialist equipment
(e.g. laboratory coats, microscopes,
stethoscopes), optional supplementary
reading and academic program materials,
field trips, and expenses such as thesis
preparation, printing and binding.
Health and Medical
International students and their dependants are
required to have health insurance in Australia
through the Overseas Student Health Cover
(OSHC) scheme. The University’s preferred
provider of OSHC is OSHC Worldcare. Visit:
www.oshcworldcare.com.au/default.aspx
The University requires all international
students to have OSHC for the duration of
their program at the time of admission. At the
time of publication, twelve months of OSHC
basic cover was A$390 for a single student
and A$780 for a family.
OSHC covers up to 100% of the scheduled
fee for most medical services and 100% of the
scheduled fees in hospitals and emergency
ambulance. Students may consider taking out
additional insurance for extras such as dental
work, physiotherapy and optometry.
 For more information on the
cost of living in Adelaide, visit
www.studyadelaide.com
Students with Families
Students who bring their families with them
to Australia will need to take into account
additional costs associated with health cover,
housing, food, transport, childcare and
educational expenses. School attendance is
compulsory for all children aged six to fifteen,
with most children starting school at five years
of age. Children may attend government oper-
ated schools or independent schools. For
information and advice for international stud-
ents with families, visit: www.international.
adelaide.edu.au/living/family/
All schooling services attract a fee. At the
time of printing, the fees for government
operated schools were A$3,600 per year for
primary school (from reception to year 7) and
A$4,500 per year for secondary school (from
years 8 to 12). These fees include intensive
English language development and support
if required. A registration fee is charged per
family. This is currently A$500 in the first year
and A$300 in subsequent years.
Dependent children of holders of Australian
Commonwealth Government Scholarships
(such as those available through AusAID) and
University of Adelaide research scholarships
may enrol in government operated primary
or secondary schools without paying tuition
fees. Service fees may apply and range from
A$200-$900 per annum.
For details see: www.internationalstudents.
sa.edu.au/pages/dependants/
Part-time Work
Many international students and their depend-
ants hope to obtain part-time work to supple-
ment funds for living costs. It may be possible
to secure employment; however, we advise
that students should not rely on part-time
work for essential expenses, as obtaining
a job is not guaranteed and can take time.
Students should also be aware that the
workload for many programs is intense and
students may not have the time to hold
employment as well as study full-time.

Foundation

The Foundation Studies Program is designed
to meet the special needs of international
students who do not meet the academic
requirements for entry into undergraduate
programs at the University of Adelaide.
The Foundation Studies Program helps
students develop the required level of
language and independent study skills for
university study, and provides a supportive
30 ALTERNATIVE PATHWAYS
environment where students have the
opportunity to develop friendships with
international and Australian students.
Students are enrolled as University of Adelaide

TEACHING AND
LEARNING METHODS
The University of Adelaide offers an environ-
ment where academic excellence is applauded
and independent enquiry is encouraged.
Students are expected to assess and think
critically about issues rather than simply
repeat learned information. To do well,
students will need to consult different sources
of information and evaluate them from a
critical perspective. As well as preparing for
a rewarding career, studying at the University
of Adelaide will help students to analyse,
understand and contribute to the world.
Teaching methods vary between schools, but
most courses are structured around a program
of lectures. In addition, seminars, group dis-
cussions (tutorials), practicals and field trips
are conducted, depending on the course.
Academic Programs
and Courses
To gain any university qualification, students
must satisfactorily complete a specific academic
program. Each program requires students to
complete a certain number of courses. Some
programs have compulsory courses, and may
or may not include electives. In other programs
students can make their own selection of
courses, with the advice and approval of the
School or Faculty in which they are enrolled.
Most courses are taught for one semester
only, with the final assessment at the end of
the semester. A few courses continue for the
whole year and for these courses students will
only receive a grade at the end of the year.
Units and Levels
Each course within a program has a unit
value and a level. Each academic program
has a total number of units that must be
completed, and requirements for a certain
number of units at specific levels, in order to
finish the program. The depth and complexity
of courses increases through each level.
Lectures
A lecture is a formal session where a lecturer
instructs a large group of students. They are
designed to give students a good starting
point on a specific area of knowledge and
identify the most important areas of the course.
Students are expected to listen carefully and
take notes. Lectures that are held weekly
usually run for 50 minutes, though some last
up to two hours.
Tutorials
Tutorials are small, weekly classes where
students are typically expected to discuss
topics and concepts relating to the course.
Discussions are led by a lecturer or a tutor.
Weekly assignments are often set and may
involve a presentation to the group, a written
exercise or participation in group discussion.
Attendance at tutorials is usually recorded,
and tutorial participation often forms part of
the course assessment.
Student Study Commitment
To successfully pass your courses, you will
need to allocate an appropriate time commit-
ment to your study. In addition to the formal
contact time required for each of your courses
(e.g. lectures, tutorials, practicals), you will
need to allocate non-contact time. Non-contact
time will be required for a range of activities
which may include, but are not limited to,
assessment tasks, reading, researching, note-
taking, revision, writing, consultation with staff,
and informal discussions with other students.
While the relative proportion of contact and non-
contact time may vary from course to course,
as a guide, a full-time student should expect
to spend, on average, a total of 48 hours per
week on their studies during teaching periods.
Assessment
There is usually a mixture of assessment
options, depending on the school and
program. Most courses utilise continuous
assessment procedures. Common forms of
assessment include essays, assignments,
practicals, tutorial papers, participation in
group discussions and end of semester
exams. Very few courses are now assessed
exclusively by an end of semester
examination worth 100% of the final grade.
GRADING SCHEME
The University uses the following
grading scheme for most programs:
High Distinction 85-100%
Distinction 75-84%
Credit 65-74%
Pass 50-64%
Fail 0-49%
Other grading schemes may be used for
a small number of programs or courses.

 INTERNATIONAL LINKS
FOR STUDENT EXCHANGE
Third Country Experience
The University of Adelaide has signed
agreements with many international
universities, and this means that during
your time in Adelaide you can apply to study
for one or two semesters at one of these
partner institutions.
The University of Adelaide is keen to offer
international students the possibility of a ‘third
country experience’ through our exchange
programme: Adelaide Abroad. With careful
planning there is no need to extend your
degree as credit is sought for the study
undertaken overseas. A small number of
places (usually 2-5 per year) are available at
each university, and selection is based on
academic merit and an interview.
As an exchange student you remain
enrolled full-time at the University of Adelaide
while you are overseas; you continue to pay
your usual tuition fees to the University of
Adelaide but do not pay tuition fees at the
host university.
We encourage international students to apply
to participate in our student exchange programs
(but not to their home countries) to add a
further dimension to their University of Adelaide
education. There are many exciting opportun-
ities in the Americas, Europe and Asia.
To find out which of our partners is
available for exchange, please contact:

Bachelor of Arts (Psychology)
“ I’m from a small town, and I wanted to experience city
life but not be overwhelmed by it. Sydney and Melbourne are
nice places for a holiday but I’m so glad I chose to study in
Adelaide – it has a friendly, homey feel and it was really easy to
adjust. I chose sociology and anthropology subjects because
I wanted to learn as much as possible about cultures that
are different from my own. My favourite course is Gender and
Race in Australian History – I especially love learning about
Aboriginal culture and history, and it’s something I would
never get to study in the States.

“ Travelling and studying abroad provides the sort of
education that no book, movie or second party could ever
teach. My experience in Australia has given me a new under-
standing of the world, life and my own identity. Adelaide has
a lot in common with Calgary yet there are some wonderful
subtleties that make it a welcome change. The music and
nightlife scenes are quite different to back home - I’ve been
charged creatively, socially and culturally by the vibrant
myriad of festivals and local talent, and enjoyed
immersing myself in the dining and coffee culture.

Program overview: Aerospace Engineering
is focused on the development and use of
new technologies and materials that are
relevant to any high-tech industry including
the aerospace industry.
The first two years of the program are identical
to the mechanical engineering program with a
strong emphasis on design and engineering
science fundamentals. In the third year, 50
percent of the program is devoted to aerospace
engineering courses such as high-tech materials,
aeronautics, aerodynamics and space vehicle
design. In the fourth year the content is almost
entirely devoted to specialist aerospace
engineering courses including aerospace
propulsion, aircraft design, computational fluid
dynamics, flight dynamics, flight mechanics, finite
element analysis and fracture mechanics.
The aerospace engineering program contains
courses that cover a wide range of relevant
areas, resulting in graduates who are well
prepared for careers in the aerospace industry
and other high-tech industries. However, as the
first 2.5 years of the program are the same as
mechanical engineering, graduates in aerospace
engineering will retain flexibility in their choice.

“ Coming from a non-English speaking background it was difficult
to communicate when I first arrived in Australia, but I found there’s a
lot of support for international students in the University and the wider
community, and I’ve improved my English dramatically. I chose the
University of Adelaide partly because it has an excellent reputation for
my discipline, mechanical engineering. I also came to Open Day
and really liked what I saw. The campus has so much open space,
with a river and parklands running alongside, yet it’s right in the
centre of the city.

technologies and the design and development
of new processes and products, which mainly
involve ‘things that move’, such as motor
vehicles, aircraft systems, engines, pumps,
gas turbines, industrial plants, air-conditioning/
refrigeration systems, manufacturing processes,
building services and even space stations.
Design is the backbone of the program. It begins
in earnest in the second year with a design and
build project, followed by a more advanced
project in third year and a large design/research
project in the final year. This activity is supported
by both design and engineering science courses,
including, in second year, courses on thermody-
namics, fluid mechanics, machine dynamics,
control, mechatronics, materials, manufacturing,
stress analysis and design for function.

Program overview: Petroleum engineers seek
to recover oil and gas on a sustainable basis at
minimum financial and environmental cost. Their
tasks focus on extracting the maximum possible
amounts of oil and gas from underground rock
formations or reservoirs.
This requires the practical application of advanced
science and engineering principles, beginning with
mathematical modelling of the size and nature of
the reservoir, optimum well locations, the planned
implementation of suitable surface facilities,
and finally the prediction of liquid and gas flows
during the recovery process. For example, the oil
may need to be forced out of reservoir rocks by
pumping water or gas under pressure into wells
drilled for that purpose. Hydraulic or chemical
techniques are often required to fracture or
stimulate formations to induce higher flow rates.
One of the current challenges is to produce
petroleum from deepwater reservoirs, where the
ocean depth may exceed 10,000 metres.
A key feature of this program is the integration of
traditional petroleum engineering topics with topics
in petroleum geoscience and management, leading
to a skill set that matches both the current needs
of the industry and the way it operates.
The petroleum engineering degree builds a strong
foundation of mathematics, chemistry, physics,
geology/geophysics, computer applications and
engineering principles. Over the course of the
program, the emphasis of the courses studied
changes from more general engineering to specific
petroleum-related topics. It also has a strong
focus on management and business related
aspects. These are a particular focus of the
School and make its teaching curricula unique.

Program overview: Pharmaceutical engineers
are vital to improving health and the well being
of society through the development, large scale
production, packaging and delivery of health-
care products. Pharmaceutical engineering is
extremely rewarding for many different reasons:
working in the health industry as an engineer,
speeding up delivery time of drugs to patients,
making medications more affordable and more
widely available, and designing new drugs to
target very specific parts of the human body with
fewer side effects. Pharmaceutical engineering is
a high-tech program with an innovative, interdis-
ciplinary approach to post-genomic engineering.
It takes a sustainable approach, minimising waste
and maximising the use of by-products. The

Program overview: Software engineering
concerns the application of engineering principles
to the development and maintenance of high
quality software, delivered on time and within
budget. Software engineers have a thorough
understanding of the underlying hardware on which
the software runs, and are thus ideally equipped
to apply their skills to hardware-software co-design
and the development of embedded systems. This
program covers both theory and practice of engin-
eering principles over the whole four years, coupled
with a strong emphasis on group projects in years
3 and 4 with close industrial connections. Students
may also study a choice of electives, allowing them
to steer their course of study between one with a
more traditional electrical engineering flavour and
one that is more oriented towards commercial
software engineering. Emphasis is placed on
underlying principles and techniques so that
graduates will be able to learn and apply new
technologies as they emerged in the future. The
early years of the program build a scientific and
engineering foundation of computing, mathematics
and digital electronics, in preparation for the more

Within this stream are two themes - Dental
Sciences and Clinical Competencies. Students
undertake a range of ‘integrated learning activities’
which link the two themes. They also spend sig-
nificantly more time in non-hospital based clinical
settings, both in private and public settings.
There is an emphasis on communications skills
and the development of appropriate professional
behaviours and on contextual learning of relevant
scientific information throughout the program.
This occurs concurrently with the development of
clinical skills from the beginning of the program.
A major objective is to provide a stimulating and

LEVEL I
The first year of the program commences with an
introductory phase which includes introductions
to human biology, clinical competencies and the
study methods to be used throughout the course.
The Dental Sciences theme for the remainder of
the year covers human structure and function
using a body systems approach, basic human
biology, community health and aspects of the
scientific basis of dental practice.
The Clinical Competences theme covers basic
technical skills (including chair-side assisting)
and communication skills. Throughout the
program students participate in case-based
integrated learning activities which require
students to work in groups, to engage in self-
directed learning, and to integrate and apply
knowledge from each of the themes.
LEVEL II
The first semester continues with the same Dental
Sciences topics as in first year but with a more in-
depth approach to the body systems most directly
relevant to dental practice. In the second semester
students start to learn about the pathogenesis of
dental and human disorders. The scientific basis
of dental practice, and health and the community,
components continue throughout the year.

Admission and acceptance procedure
After assessment of qualifications and English language proficiency, successful applicants
will receive an official written offer of a place from the University. Students must accept
their place, in writing, by the deadline specified in their letter of offer, otherwise the
offer will lapse. Medicine and Dentistry programs have limited places and the University
reserves the right to decline acceptances once the quotas have been filled.
If a conditional offer has been issued, and the applicant subsequently demonstrates that
they have met the conditions, an email confirmation will be sent by the International Office
to the student. An updated offer letter will not be issued.
Unsuccessful applicants will be notified via email if they are not accepted into an
undergraduate academic program.
Students (or their sponsors) will be required to pay a deposit for tuition fees of A$9,000,
plus entire payment of program length Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC). On receipt
of these payments and fulfilment of any conditions of the offer, the University will send
the documents necessary to apply for a student visa at the Australian Diplomatic Mission
selected by the student, to the student or the nominated University official representative.
