The University of South Australia is an innovative and successful institution with a 150-year history. Our teaching and research reflect the needs of modern society and reflect a balance between knowledge and application. Almost a third of our 34,000 students are citizens of other countries and we have the largest number of international students in South Australia. We also have an established presence in the Asia Pacific region, particularly in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and China. Our focus is on good teaching, experiential learning and skills that matter. We were the first university in Australia to formally state the seven core graduate qualities that employers can expect to find in any of our graduates, whatever the course and wherever it is taught. In a recent survey of our transnational students, more than 80% said they enjoyed their studies and were satisfied with their experiences. We also have a growing international research profile. UniSA specialises in research that is inspired by end-users and undertaken in collaboration with industry, government and the professions across Australia and internationally. Choosing to study at UniSA means youll earn more than just a degree. Youll graduate with an international network of colleagues, ready to progress in the profession of your choice, with the skills to make an immediate and lasting contribution on society. We look forward to welcoming you as a student.
