Student Profile

"Quality education, a beautiful campus, comfortable and convenient accommodation."

Taylor Ryan

I considered other universities in Australia and Europe, and decided on the University of Adelaide because it offered the full package – a quality education, a beautiful campus, comfortable and convenient accommodation, and a great range of support services and activities.

I was looking for a one-year postgraduate teaching qualification, and Adelaide had that, plus it’s a well-respected Group of Eight university with a reputation for being one of the best. The program is comprehensive, striking the right balance between theory and practical experience, and I’ve found the lecturers to be really helpful and accommodating.
