Adelaide - Australias learning city
Call 8585951111The South Australian capital of Adelaide has always been a trailblazer when it comes to education.
The University of Adelaide was one of the first campuses in the world to open its doors to women (some 50 years before Cambridge and Oxford).
The city has produced three Nobel Prize winners more than any other Australian capital.
And in 2006, Australia’s first foreign university, the prestigious Pittsburg-based Carnegie Mellon University, opened its doors in the 
centre of the city.
For the past four years, Adelaide has also been setting the pace in terms of international education, outstripping the national average with the growth of its overseas student population.
Last year, the city’s international student numbers rose 14.1 per cent to 20,580 – and Indian students showed their love of the city by increasing their numbers by 42 per cent (to almost 2100).
Why most of the Indian students choosing Adelaide for studies?
Undoubtedly, a major factor is the longstanding tradition of excellence forged by renowned institutions including The University of Adelaide and Finders University, and continued by relative newcomer the University of South Australia, which leads the pack in terms of international student numbers and its direct links with the Australian business community.
Five bonus migration points are also offered to graduates who complete more than two years of study in Adelaide which is also one of the factor which help in immigration.
Also, If culinary world is your oyster, Adelaide is also the perfect study destination, establishing itself as the only place in the world offering French, Swiss and Australian hospitality/culinary undergraduate and postgraduate qualifications, through Regency TAFE, the International College of Hotel Management and Le Cordon Bleu.
The Adelaide experience is must more than simply study.
As a student, you’ll get so much more out of life by living in South Australia. One of the least expensive cities in the world. You’ll also receive a warm welcome in Adelaide. The city’s 1.1 million residents hail from more than 200 nations, and around 12 per cent speak a language other than English at home. So they are many layers to Adelaide’s multicultural mix – and the locals are very used to wel
coming newcomers.
In Adelaide (and unlike Sydney and Melbourne), international students receive the same public transport concessions as students, and have access to free buses that loop around the city.
As one Indian student wrote: “Here, every individual is valued. I feel valued here. Everyone is so helpful and friendly. No one differentiates whether you’re Asian or African, Black or White. Everyone is treated the same.
How to get there?
A number of major airlines fly directly into Adelaide from Asia, including Qantas, Cathay Pacific, Singapore Airlines and Malaysia Airlines. And because Adelaide is located halfway between Sydney in the east and Perth in the west, you are never too far from other Australian cities. A flight from Adelaide to Sydney, for instance, is around two hours and can cost less than AUD$100.
