Welcome to the University of Adelaide

Starting university is both exciting and challenging – you’ll be introduced to new ideas, learn new skills, gain knowledge, make new friends and settle into student life on campus.

You are now a part of one of Australia’s great research universities, with a rich tradition of academic excellence and a vibrant student life. The transition to university life can take some time but that’s okay. There are resources, events and people on campus who can help you settle in.

This web site will help you:

• Understand what university is about
• Make the most of your studies
• Find the right balance between work and study
• Put you in touch with the right people if you have issues.

If you’ve got any questions, you can always visit the friendly staff in the Student Centre. But above all, please don't feel alone or isolated if your expectations of university life have not turned out to be the reality. It's perfectly normal – that’s why we’re here to help.
