International Applicants

What – and where – can I study?

The University of Adelaide offers more than 120 undergraduate programs (including combined degrees) in a range of study areas, including offshore programs at overseas institutions. Our Study Abroad and Incoming Exchange Programs allow students from universities outside Australia to study on a short-term basis (one or two semesters) at the University of Adelaide.

Alternative entry into uni
International students who are not admitted into a University of Adelaide Bachelor program on their initial application may gain entry via our Foundation Studies programs or via the Degree Transfer option. For students who have already completed some tertiary study in their home country advanced standing (credit for previous study) may be available.

English language preparation
The English Language Centre (ELC) provides a range of English language preparatory programs for students coming to Adelaide to study. The Language Learning Service (LLC) also has a specially tailored program for international students to assist in developing the academic research, writing and speaking skills you need for success at university.
