Student Experiences
Every year the University of Adelaide welcomes thousands of international students to its campuses.
International students are part of the lifeblood of the University of Adelaide and of South Australia more broadly – their vibrancy and dynamism enrich our community, enhance learning outcomes for all students, and bring global connections, cultures, and perspectives into our teaching and social spaces.
In turn, we offer a number of social events and support services to help international students engage with the University and benefit from our community networks. We empower our international students to flourish during their time with us and facilitate meaningful, life-long connections.
Students who study overseas are more likely to graduate, progress to higher levels of study, and develop the intercultural competence and knowledge needed to forge global careers.
That’s why we also encourage our students to become global citizens, expand their perspectives, and build future career networks through a comprehensive suite of student mobility programs, including student exchange, study tours and short programs.
