LPDP-IEFFE sponsored students at the University of Adelaide Sponsored Student Welcome Event
The University of Adelaide recently held a special event welcoming a new cohort of sponsored students to its campuses.
The University of Adelaide has a number of highly-valued sponsorship arrangements with foreign government and non-government organisations, industry and corporate partners, as well as with the Australian Government through the Australia Awards Scholarship program.
In Semester 2 2024, over 40 sponsored students from Saudi Arabia (Saudi Arabian Cultural Mission), Malaysia (JPA - Jabatan Perkhidmatan Awam), Thailand (Royal Thai Embassy) and Indonesia (LPDP/Indonesian Endowment Fund for Education) will commence their studies at the University of Adelaide, joining a student body of more than 30,000 students, including over 9,000 international students from over 100 countries around the world.
The students will be studying a range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses, including a Bachelor of Computer Science, Bachelor of Food and Nutrition Science, Master of Public Policy, Master of Materials Engineering, and Master of Education.
At a special welcome event, the students were encouraged to enjoy the full student experience offered by the University of Adelaide – both academically and beyond the classroom.
The University of Adelaide is home to a vibrant and diverse campus community, with many opportunities for international students to get involved in campus life, make friends, and participate in campus activities and services such as:
- The Global IQ Connect Program
- Peer Assisted Study Sessions
- English language support through the University’s Writing Centre
- The Talking with Aussies Program
- CommuniTea – weekly gatherings for all international students
- Our range of more than 130 different clubs and societies
The University’s location in the heart of one of the world’s most liveable cities also means international students are able to explore the wonderful city of Adelaide and state of South Australia during their studies.
