Educating professionals. Creating and applying knowledge. Engaging our communities.

Educating professionals

UniSA’s unique approach to teaching and learning is student-centred, focused on the outcomes of higher education, and delivered through very flexible program arrangements. Designed in consultation with industry and the professions, UniSA programs include fieldwork, industry guided simulations and industry projects. This real-world experience while studying means UniSA graduates are equipped with the qualities employers look for. UniSA graduates become significant contributors to their chosen professions - people who are instrumental in reshaping the nature of contemporary Australian and regional society.

Creating and applying knowledge

UniSA is committed to the creation and application of knowledge. Its distinctive research profile is based on bringing together multidisciplinary teams from industry, business and the professions to work on projects that are both relevant and beneficial to the community. 

UniSA’s emerging research priorities are sustainability, healthy lifestyle, and modelling and managing complex systems. The close alignment of the University’s research priorities with the Government’s National Research Priorities means it is well placed for ongoing success into the future. 

Engaging our communities

UniSA contributes at all levels to the social, intellectual, economic and cultural development of the community. Meeting the present and future needs of society is the driving force behind its professional education programs and its applied research focus. Service to the community is a defining characteristic and the University is enriched through its interaction with different communities.

Each year staff and students are recognised for their outstanding service to the community through the Chancellor’s Awards for Community Service.
