Executive Dean's message
The Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences was pleased to recently celebrate an historic first with the appointment of Professor Josephine Thomas, a proud alumna, and the first ever female Dean of Medicine and Head of Adelaide Medical School since the Faculty of Medicine was established in 1885. This milestone, achieved as we entered into our final year as the University of Adelaide, perfectly embodies our commitment to history making.
Executive Dean's message
The diversity of activities in the Faculty of Sciences, Engineering and Technology broadly reflects our commitment to innovation, sharing and creating knowledge, and being prepared for the challenges of the future.
Executive Dean's message
As semester begins, so too does the familiar buzz of activity on our campuses, following a successful O'Week that saw over 3,000 students on the grounds at North Terrace, and well-attended events at our Waite and Roseworthy campuses.
Chancellor's message
Much of our enduring value as an institution resides in the strength of our community with its culture of respect for all. Indeed, we attract and retain remarkable staff and students at this university because they know that they are welcome and respected here. It is within such a cohesive community that most people find they can do their best work.
Deputy Vice-Chancellor's message
The vibrancy on our campuses is palpable and increasing, and I’m looking forward to welcoming returning students and to seeing many new faces around our grounds. O’Week officially began yesterday, and the range of activities provides an introduction to all that campus life has to offer, along with many opportunities to make connections.

Celebrating our colleagues: Bruce Lines
Here at the IMO (Integration Management Office), we have seconded staff from both universities. One of the things that I have learned is that culture can change rapidly, in the right conditions. So, when people do have a shared goal, when people are collaborating to achieve something, a new culture can emerge quite quickly.
Deputy Vice-Chancellor's message
Attracting exceptional students, from diverse backgrounds across Australia and around the world, and delivering excellent learning experiences is a huge part of our mission.
