Adelaide University launches on the global stage
On Monday 15 June, Adelaide University was launched to the world in what was a big moment as we unveil Australia’s newest major university.

This milestone also saw the launch of the new Adelaide University website and around 200 coursework programs to support international student recruitment and admissions, with more programs to be progressively released. There will be no major discipline changes from the existing institutions.

It’s important to know that this milestone does not impact your studies. Your current institution will continue to operate as it currently does. We will be working closely with students to ensure you are highly supported in your transition to the new university, ready to study at Adelaide University from 2026.

If you have any questions about your current studies, please talk to your local Campus Central team. We look forward to continuing this journey with you.
