The University of Adelaide offers three industry linked education programs that links undergraduates, graduates, education and industry to promote innovation, research and knowledge transfer that brings together industry, commerce, University departments and students.  The programs enable graduate and undergraduate students to undertake paid industry sponsored based probjects using their knowledge and skills gained through their studies.
