Master of Data Science - Batch of 2026

4.5

An international local experience.

Tips: Prospective students should go through the course curriculum beforehand to ensure they set their expectations right for what they are gonna be studying in the classes. There are scholarships available that are provided on merit. The current university is transitioning into the new Adelaide University, so there are a few things which are still being worked out, but hopefully it will all be settled soon.

Likes (Student Life): There is so much going on in the university. Every other day, some activity is happening on the campus; it's up to you if you want to participate or not. Student engagement activities, informative sessions, giveaways, and other well-being activities are a few to list.

Dislikes (Public transportation): There is a robust network of public transport connections from the university to other locations. Trains and tram services are available in limited areas, which can increase travel time using buses. The transport services are not so expensive, and special concession fares are available for students.

Master of Biotechnology (Biomedical) - Batch of 2022

4.1

The university of Adelaide is a place with great opportunities.

Tips: I'm really satisfied with the university because of the organisation of the institute, friendly faculty, and wide range of networking and professional opportunities. You get to witness various cultures in and around the university, as well as in the place. The course is also good for learning and gaining exposure.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty was great and provided help on a timely basis. They would respond swiftly and also help you to find answers on your own, helping in self-development. The faculty were also friendly and welcoming, and they knew the answers to the questions.

Dislikes (Internships): There are internships available but a bit limited due to fewer options in SA. It is mainly because the biotechnology field is upcoming and still developing. So because of that, it makes it difficult to obtain internships. Mainly, it is due to a smaller number of companies, which causes fewer opportunities.

The University of Adelaide will be created after the merger in 2026, so choose wisely.

Tips: Adelaide being a pretty small city doesn't have a lot of options when it comes to literally anything. It becomes very selective and limited. Make sure you realise that early and get prepared for it and don't keep your expectations too high when studying at a so-called prestigious university.

Likes (Student Life): Student life is pretty good with several events conducted by the international student support and lots of club activities happening throughout the year on campus. There are more than 50 different clubs for sports, culture and activities that you can sign up for.

Dislikes (Value for money): I rated a star on value for money as the total cost is around 70000 AUD after receiving a 30% scholarship which is simply not justified for the quality of teaching or the faculty. I have had personally the worst experience working on a research project with a supervisor who doesn't care a dime.

Master of Computer Science - Batch of 2026

Adelaide University - Rewarding in the long run.

Tips: I did get a 30% scholarship with my admission. The transition was a bit hard for me as I was working previously for more than 2 years, so I did take some time to get used to doing assignments and part time work. Once you get a job and are settled in, you start to enjoy life. It can be a bit overwhelming at times, since we have a lot to do and there is very little time for everything.

Likes (Student Life): The best thing I like about the university is the people. They are very warm and welcoming. The University has great lecture halls and an ambient space for everyone. The assignments can be a bit cramped together so it can get a bit tense. On the flipside most of the professors are understanding and can get you an approval for extensions.

Dislikes (Internships): Internships are available but they are pretty hard to land. The university does have a job portal where internships and part time work are listed, but most of the time, they are exclusive to native students. There will always be more than 200 students applying for each job so competition is a bit high.

The university is more research-focused than academic.

Tips: I was able to get 30% off my tuition based on my grades from my bachelor's. However, I am not satisfied. This university is more research-focused than academic. None of the lectures is mandatory because everything is recorded. The university also takes plagiarism very seriously.

Likes (Part time work): Working off-campus for students is a great option, but there's a limit of 48 hours per week. Finding jobs can be challenging, but everyone seems to manage. If you're going to work cash jobs, make sure you provide those to the taxman. Full-time work is often paid monthly, but most other gigs pay bi-weekly. The hours are easy to work around my studies, and I make about 1000 AUD fortnightly.

Dislikes (Internships): There is a support system for internships, but they will only help you with resumes and cover letters, nothing more. You can do an internship, but you have to find it yourself. Also, if you want units for that internship, then it has to be unpaid. Paid internships are considered in your working hours.
