Welcome from the Vice Chancellor
The
University of South Australia is an innovative, international and
successful institution. Our research and teaching are relevant to the
needs of society, industry and the professions and reflect a balance
between knowledge and application.
We offer over 30 programs in five overseas countries and UniSA is one of the largest providers of transnational education in Australia. At present, almost a third of our students are citizens of other countries and we have the largest number of international students in South Australia.
In December 2006, we became one of the first universities in the world to gain ISO9001 certification for the quality framework for our teaching outside Australia.
We also have a growing international research profile. UniSA specialises in conducting end-user inspired research in collaboration with industry, government, other education providers and the professions, across Australia and internationally. This approach is underpinned by a series of strategic initiatives designed to increase the University's research leadership, build capacity in research and research training, and grow the scale and focus of our research concentrations.
Choosing to study at UniSA means you’ll graduate with more than just a degree. You’ll 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 to society.
Should you choose to study with us in Adelaide (one of Australia’s most accessible and affordable cities) or at our regional campus, you will also enjoy a unique Australian cultural experience.
At UniSA, we believe international students enrich the quality of the intellectual and social life of our University, adding to the diversity of ideas shared in the classroom, and to the learning experience of all of our students.
We look forward to welcoming you to our multicultural community - either as a student in Adelaide or in your home country.

Vice Chancellor and President
