 ACCOMMODATION
Accommodation plays an important
part in building a solid foundation
for academic success.
Students benefit from the advantages that
come from choosing to study in a city where
accommodation of all types, including our
University-managed accommodation, is not
only accessible but more affordable than in
other Australian cities.
The University recommends students
adopt the RECAS approach to identifying
an accommodation option to suit their
individual needs and support a positive
educational experience.
• Research all available
accommodation options
• Establish a realistic budget
• Consider the value of managed
student accommodation
• Avoid extended temporary accommodation
• Seek assistance from the University
Accommodation Service
Students unfamiliar with Adelaide are
encouraged to consider living in managed
student accommodation during their
first year of university. Managed student
accommodation provides new students with
the opportunity to become better acquainted
with the city, settle into their academic

program and make new friends, without
having to worry about the challenges of
the private rental market.
Long-term student accommodation
adelaide.edu.au/accommodation
The University assists international
students to obtain suitable longer-term
housing. Students may choose any of
the following options.
The University of Adelaide Village
The University of Adelaide Village is
our largest of the University’s student
accommodation properties. The Village is
home to over 400 students, who experience
the safety and security of having access to
University staff on-site, 24 hours a day,
seven days a week.
Students need only bring their personal
belongings, as furniture, kitchen appliances,
utilities (including electricity), phone
and Internet are all included in the
accommodation fees. The only additional
costs are for meals (students must cook
and clean for themselves) and the on-site,
coin-operated laundry facilities.
Roseworthy Residential College
This accommodation is operated by the
University and only available to students
of the University's Roseworthy campus.
This property offers students the opportunity
to enjoy the benefits of on-campus
residential living.
Independent residential colleges
There are five independent residential
colleges situated in North Adelaide that
offer accommodation to students. These
independent residential colleges are privately
owned and operated. They are not owned or
operated by the University.
Students can contact the residential colleges
directly to better understand what is
available. These residential colleges include:
Aquinas, Lincoln, St Ann's, St Mark's and
Kathleen Lumley College.
Commercial student accommodation
Commercial student accommodation
refers to purpose-built off-campus student
accommodation facilities, run by private
management companies not affiliated
with the University of Adelaide. These

facilities offer fully-furnished, self-contained
apartments that give students flexibility to
live alone or share with others. There are
also rooms for couples.
In addition to rent, students may need to
budget for additional expenses, including:
• gas
• electricity
• telephone connection (optional)
• Internet connection (optional).
Places in commercial student
accommodation facilities are offered on a
6 or 12-month fixed-term lease.
It is important to note that these facilities are
not directly affiliated with the University of
Adelaide and students are advised to inspect
them before committing.
Private rental and share accommodation
Affordable share accommodation can also
be found in the private rental market,
so the University offers a rental database
(adelaide.edu.au/accommodation) for our
students’ exclusive use.
Our enrolled students can access the
database from our Accommodation Service,
Level 4, Hub Central, North Terrace campus,
with a user name and password. The database
is only promoted among the University
community, and most accommodation
listings are offered by people affiliated with us
who would like to share their room/property
with a University of Adelaide student.
Students wishing to find share or rental
accommodation when they arrive in
Adelaide are encouraged to book temporary
accommodation in the first instance. Once
in Adelaide, students should visit the
University’s Accommodation Service for
information on all available options and
support in identifying and securing quality
long-term living arrangements. Students
are discouraged from sending money
from offshore to secure share or rental
accommodation prior to inspecting it.
Accommodation for families
Students accompanied by family members
will find private rental accommodation in
houses or apartments the most suitable
accommodation option.
It’s easier for an individual student to initially
travel to Adelaide on their own to arrange
suitable permanent family accommodation.
Spouses and children who arrive later can
then move straight in.
Arrival reception and
temporary accommodation
Temporary accommodation and arrival
reception services are available to
commencing international students.
Eligible students can book an arrival
reception service and be met by a University
representative at Adelaide Airport, via a
domestic or international flight. Students will
then be transported to their accommodation.
Eligible students who choose not to secure
long-term managed student accommodation
for their arrival in Adelaide may also be
eligible for seven nights of temporary
accommodation booked through the University.
It is important to note that temporary
accommodation options arranged through
the University are unlikely to be extended
further than a period of seven nights due to
high demand for short-term accommodation
during the traditional student intake periods.

As part of planning, applicants need to
consider the financial requirements before
applying at the University, and are advised
to set a realistic budget.
Incidental costs
Prospective students should allow at least
AUD $500 per year for textbooks and basic
study materials. Depending on the degree,
other costs may include: specialist equipment
(e.g. laboratory coats, microscopes,
stethoscopes); optional supplementary
reading and academic program materials;
field trips; and expenses such as thesis
preparation, printing and binding.
Accommodation
Although living in Adelaide is more
affordable than many other Australian cities,
accommodation remains students’ largest
variable expense. It can cost anywhere
from around AUD $135 per week for
share accommodation outside the city
centre to AUD $259 per week (including
electricity, water, gas and unlimited Wi-Fi)
for University-managed accommodation
within the city centre. The average rent for
a private studio apartment in the CBD is
approximately AUD $400 per week.
The University recommends that students
adopt the RECAS approach to identifying
an accommodation option to suit their
individual needs and support a positive
educational experience.

Tuition fees
International students are required to pay
international student tuition fees, which
cover the cost of teaching and many student
support services. The indicative annual
tuition fee quoted in this prospectus is based
on the standard full-time enrolment load of
24 units per year or 12 units per semester.
The quoted fee is reviewed annually and
may increase in future. Fees may also vary
depending on enrolment load, and each
student will be advised of their specific fee
schedule in the University’s offer of admission.
New international students are required
to pay a tuition fee deposit when accepting
an offer of admission. After enrolment,
students are then invoiced for the balance
of their fees in that enrolment period.
The University invoices students (or their
sponsor) each enrolment period according
to students’ enrolment load.
Student Services and Amenities Fee
International students commencing in
2019 will be required to pay an annual
Student Services and Amenities Fee. This
covers activities such as clubs, sporting

 TEACHING
AND LEARNING
The University of Adelaide offers an environment
where academic excellence is celebrated and
independent enquiry is encouraged.
Students are expected to assess and think
critically about issues, rather than simply
memorise information. To do well, students
will need to consult different reference
sources of information and evaluate,
analyse and understand them.
Teaching methods vary between schools,
but most degrees are structured around
a program of lectures. Seminars, group
discussions (tutorials), practicals and field
trips are also often conducted.
Academic degrees and courses
To gain any University of Adelaide
qualification, students must satisfactorily
complete a specific academic degree. Each
degree requires students to complete a
certain number of courses.
34 Teaching and learning
Some degrees have compulsory courses,
and may or may not include electives. In
other degrees, students can make their own
selection of courses, with the advice and
approval of the school or faculty in which
they are enrolled.
Most courses are taught for one semester
only, but some do continue for a full year.
In all cases, assessment is provided at the
end of the course.
Units and levels
Each degree is made up of courses (subjects)
and each course has a unit value. As students
progress through a degree, they’re taught
courses of increasing depth and complexity
at each level, e.g. starting at Level 1 and
progressing to Advanced Level. Completion of
a certain number of course units is required
at each level in order to successfully finish
the degree and be eligible for graduation.
Lectures
Lectures are formal sessions where a lecturer instructs
a large group of students. Lectures are designed to
give students a good starting point on a specific area
of knowledge and identify the most important areas
of the course. Students are expected to listen carefully
and take notes. Lectures typically run for 50 minutes,
though some last up to two hours.

Tutorials
Tutorials are small, weekly classes in which students
are typically expected to discuss topics and concepts
relating to the course. Discussions are led by a lecturer
or tutor. Weekly assignments are often set and may
involve a presentation to the group, written exercises
or participation in group discussion. Attendance at
tutorials is usually recorded, and tutorial participation
often forms part of the course assessment.

Student study commitment

In order to successfully pass, students need to commit
appropriate time to their study. This includes not only
formal contact time (e.g. lectures, tutorials, practicals),
but informal non-contact time.
Extra non-contact hours will be required for all kinds
of activities, including but not limited to: assessment
tasks, reading, researching, note-taking, revising,
writing, consulting with staff, and undertaking informal
discussions with other students.
While the relative proportion of contact and non-
contact time may vary from course to course, as a guide
a full-time student should expect to spend a total of 48
hours per week on their studies during teaching periods.

Assessment
Most courses are assessed continuously through a
number of different avenues. These vary depending
on the school and degree, with common forms
including: essays, assignments, practicals, tutorial
papers, participation in group discussions, and
end-of-semester exams.

The Bachelor of Liberal Arts and Sciences
allows students to study both society and
science, and interactions between the
two. This prepares students for a wide
range of careers in policy, government,
communication, business and industry.
With a core drawn from Science, History,
English, Philosophy and Aboriginal
Studies, students examine how scientific
and other types of knowledge is created and
communicated. Students will investigate
its accuracy, reliability, effectiveness, and
ethical and social impacts.
Rather than simply a combination of two
independent degrees, this three-year single
degree offers a distinct interdisciplinary
approach. It allows students to take a
major and/or minor, and—for the more
adventurous—provides the opportunity
to co-create a study pathway under the
guidance of an experienced academic.
Key to this degree are the final-year Science
and Society capstone course and the
Liberal Arts and Sciences internship, taught
collaboratively by the faculties of Arts and
Sciences. The degree has particularly strong
links with the Bachelor of Liberal Arts
and Sciences offered by the University of
Freiburg, Germany, one of the University
of Adelaide’s priority international partners.

students with the skills to analyse, interpret
and respond to some of society’s most
compelling and complex social issues.
Looking through a variety of lenses, taken
from the perspectives of politics, geography,
anthropology, gender studies and Asian studies,
students delve deeply into numerous multi-
layered matters. These include issues such as
poverty and inequality, the gender pay gap,
homelessness, unemployment, Indigenous
peoples and injustice, health and illness, ref-

methodologies to devise, implement, and
evaluate policy solutions. Social scientists
extract meaningful value from data and use
this to design practical measures to address
contemporary social justice problems and
bring about positive change.
Students build valuable qualitative and

This is a flexible business degree designed
to prepare students for a range of careers
in business, industry or government.
The program provides a foundation for
career paths in such commercial areas
as accounting, international business,
marketing, management and corporate
finance. All students will complete a
common program at Level I before
specialising at Level II and III.
Specialisations:
• Accounting
• Corporate Finance
• International Business
• Management
• Marketing
• Enterpreneurship (minor only)
Career Readiness
The higher level courses within the majors of
this degree use case studies and simulations
that provide experiential learning
environments and replicate workplace tasks
or processes, requiring students to practise
relevant knowledge and skills. Students will
apply critical thinking and decision-making
skills in a non-linear environment in which
decisions and actions often lead to complex
and unexpected outcomes.
The compulsory student exchange/study
abroad component of the degree provides
students with the opportunity for a
transformative learning experience, where
they can reflect on beliefs, values, opinions
and assumptions.
The Bachelor of Commerce degree is in
demand, and highly valued by employers.
The academic program provides students
with far more than just a vocational
business qualification: it develops the
advanced analytical and decision-making
skills they need to take on future leadership
roles throughout society.
This flexible business degree also
enhances students’ critical thinking and
communication skills, equipping them to
deal effectively with the continuous change
experienced in business environments.
Areas of specialisation
Bachelor of Commerce students may
choose to graduate with one of six majors:
• Accounting
• Accounting and Corporate Finance
(double major)
• Corporate Finance
• International Business
• Management
• Marketing.
Students also have the option of pursuing
a minor in Entrepreneurship.
Career readiness
Graduates of the Accounting specialisation
may join the accounting profession in all
areas of commerce and industry. Career
prospects are available in specialised fields
such as tax, auditing, management accounting,
computerised accounting and finance.
Students who specialise in International
Business, Management or Marketing can
look forward to careers in the international
business, public, not-for-profit and
government sectors. Career opportunities
can include business consultant,
international trade analyst, manager,
administrator and marketing professional.
Economists put all the pieces together.
They study the interaction of decision-
making in households, businesses and
broader society. They consider how we
respond to incentives (the things that
influence decision–making).
And they analyse how we reconcile
conflicting choices. They provide the ‘big
picture’, and inform all aspects of policy
design and business strategy.
Bachelor of Economics graduates
understand deeply how the economy works,
and are well equipped to shape its future.
Students study: microeconomics—issues
such as management of the environment and
depleting natural resources; macroeconomics
—issues relating to the growth and
stability of the whole economic system;
econometrics—the maths and statistics of
economics; and a range of other topics.
Graduates develop the capacity to break
down issues into questions that can be
resolved, and that inform the collection
of relevant data and information. They
also acquire advanced techniques for the
analysis and management of that data.
These are skills critical to good decision-
making throughout the business world, and
at all levels of government.
Areas of specialisation
The Bachelor of Economics gives students
the flexibility to specialise in a particular
area of economics, such as international
or environmental economics. In addition,
because only around half the degree’s
courses are compulsory, it’s possible to
enhance a chosen economics specialisation
by taking courses with the same focus
but from other disciplines (e.g. politics
or environmental studies). Alternatively,
students may choose to focus on something
quite different within their degree, such as
philosophy or accounting.
