Campus Setting

Australia's first agricultural college was established at Roseworthy, 50km north of Adelaide in 1883. Since its establishment, the Australian agricultural industry has recognised Roseworthy Agricultural College as the premier teaching facility for the sector and close partnerships with industry and government research groups have always been a feature of Roseworthy's development. In 1991, the Roseworthy Agricultural College joined forces with the University of Adelaide.

Many of the best-known names in agriculture and wine are graduates of the Roseworthy Campus. While viticulture and oenology are now based at the Waite, the original connection and proud tradition live on in the name of the Hickinbotham Roseworthy Wine Science Laboratory at the Waite. At Roseworthy Campus the Faculty of Sciences boasts the key concentration of animal science capability and dryland agriculture in South Australia.

Roseworthy Campus is located on a 1600 ha property and includes a working farm on which students gain practical experience and training.
