Introducing Adelaide University

Adelaide University combines the strengths and legacies of the University of South Australia and the University of Adelaide to create a new contemporary and for-purpose Australian university. Through transformational investments, Adelaide University will aim to deliver nation-leading curriculum and exceptional student experience, strive for equality of education, conduct future-making research of scale and focus, and drive innovation and resource to accelerate social prosperity and cohesion. Adelaide University will pursue its ambitions on the global stage as a member of the prestigious Group of Eight (Go8) and aim to sustainability position the institution in the top 1% of universities worldwide.


The University of Adelaide College

The University of Adelaide College continues to operate as the Preferred Pathway Provider to the University of Adelaide and will be a Preferred Pathway to Adelaide University for alternate entry.

Kaplan continues to work collaboratively with our University of Adelaide and Adelaide University colleagues in relation to student recruitment activities and strategies. We look forward to continuing to join you out in market or online, supporting your events and welcoming many more successful students through our friendly college doors.


What does the launch of Adelaide University mean for our Kaplan partner agents

Most importantly, you and your team can rest assured that recruitment to the University of Adelaide College programs continues as business as usual. We are delighted to offer training to all our partners to outline the progression options available from the existing University of Adelaide College programs, to new Adelaide University degrees. More details about these training opportunities will be shared in the days to come.

Operationally, there is no immediate change for the University of Adelaide College. There is no change to application processes - you can continue to submit applications for the University of Adelaide College, via the Studylink portal – and there is no change to processes relating to commission, invoice payments, nor student support.


What does the launch of Adelaide University mean for our University of Adelaide College students

The University of Adelaide College will communicate directly with our current students who will be progressing to and completing their degrees at Adelaide University. The University commits to there being no students disadvantaged by transition arrangements and all students will be offered a suitable progression package.

Our future students will also receive communication in regard to the progression degree options available at Adelaide University, again with the commitment of no student being disadvantaged by the transition.

We appreciate that your students may turn to you for advice during this time and we want to reassure you that the existing universities will be engaging with all students to support them through this period, ensuring they receive a suitable package and program that suits their needs.

Students at the college will continue in their existing college programs, supported by our exceptional College Services team. They continue to be recognised as university students, within the university community from day one with us at the College. Their current access to university facilities (including library access, university ID cards) remains and their progression to university will remain as seamless as possible.


Melbourne Campus

A full and comprehensive review of the courses, programs and the operating model for the Melbourne Campus is currently underway. The University of Adelaide is undertaking this review to ensure alignment with the future Adelaide University’s vision. More information about the Melbourne Campus will be made available soon. In the meantime, please continue your support of the Melbourne Campus as usual.

We will be sharing more important and exciting details with you about Adelaide University and our partnership with them, over the coming days and weeks. In the meantime, please keep an eye out for our upcoming information session and feel free to send through any queries you might have to our wonderful team.


Best wishes,
