Search by Keyword

Search Tips:
Try to be as specific as possible in the choice of a search term, for example search for 'Medicine' rather than 'Doctor'. 'Dentistry' rather than 'Dentist'.

If your first search term doesn't yields the results you expected try a variation of the word. For example, 'Environmental' rather than 'Environment'.

You can combine keywords using the word 'AND'. For example, 'environmental AND mining' to find programs that offer both of these subjects.

Note:
'Find a Program' is the starting point for exploring your study options at the University of Adelaide.

At university, the terms 'programs' and 'courses' have special meanings. 'Program' refers to the structure of study undertaken to gain a University award, such as a degree. Your program of study is informed by your study plan, which maps out the courses and requirements of your program. 'Courses' are components of study that make up a program, similar to 'subjects' at school.
