Study at Roseworthy campus
Roseworthy campus is home to South Australia's only veterinary school and veterinary teaching hospital.
The University’s School of Animal and Veterinary Sciences offer degrees in veterinary medicine, veterinary technology, animal science and animal behaviour.
More than 700 students learn with internationally renowned academics who are at the forefront of research across diverse fields of animal and veterinary sciences.
Many of the best-known names in agriculture and wine are graduates from Roseworthy campus. While agriculture and viticulture and oenology degrees are now taught at Waite campus, the original connection and proud tradition live on through the Hickinbotham Roseworthy Wine Science Laboratory.
Roseworthy Agricultural College
Australia's first agricultural college was established at Roseworthy in 1883. Since its establishment, the Australian agricultural industry has recognised Roseworthy Agricultural College as the premier teaching facility for the sector and close partnerships with industry and government research groups have always been a feature of Roseworthy's development.
In 1991, the Roseworthy Agricultural College joined forces with the University of Adelaide.
Roseworthy campus has made a long and invaluable contribution to the education and careers of local, state, national and international identities across a range of industries including agriculture and viticulture.
