University of Adelaide

One of Australia's research intensive universities

About the University

With world-leading researchers working across a range of challenges, we generate outcomes that make our world better. From more sustainable food production, to a healthier climate. From improved health and wellbeing, to cleaner energy sources. From our own backyard to the farthest shores. By every measure, the University of Adelaide—a member of Australia’s prestigious Group of Eight research-intensive universities—stands tall among the world’s leading institutions of learning and innovation. The clearest indication of this is our consistently high rating by the most respected international assessment bodies: QS World University Rankings, Times Higher Education and Shanghai Jiao Tong’s Academic Rankings of World Universities (ARWU). All consider us one of the top 1% of universities worldwide, and the top university in our state. We’re equally proud of the fact that the vast majority of our research is rated ‘above or well above world standard’ by the Australian Research Council’s Excellence in Research Australia program.
