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
Accommodation plays an important part in building a solid foundation for academic success.
ACCOMMODATION
18 Accommodation
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.
For more information on eligibility criteria, arrival reception and temporary accommodation services, contact:

• Consider the value of managed student accommodation
• Avoid extended temporary accommodation
• Seek assistance from the University Accommodation Service
Application fee An application fee of AUD $100 must be paid with the University of Adelaide undergraduate online application. An exemption may apply for some government or externally-sponsored students.
Tuition feesInternational 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 and recreational activities, and many other services. The fee was AUD $298 for 2018 and it is indexed annually.
For more information, visit: adelaide.edu.au/student/finance/ssaf
Refund policy All applicants must read the University’s policy on refunds and adjustments before accepting an offer of admission. The policy complies with all requirements for tuition fee refunds stipulated in the Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Act 2000, associated Australian Government regulations, and the ESOS National Code of Practice (2018).
For policy details, visit: adelaide.edu.au/student/finance/refunds

the Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) scheme. The University’s preferred provider of OSHC is Allianz Global Assistance. Visit: https://allianzassistancehealth.com.au/en/ student-visa-oshc/
For additional information, please refer to: international.adelaide.edu.au/student-support/support-services/
Students with families International students who bring their families to Australia will need to take into account additional costs associated with health cover, housing, food, transport, childcare and education. For information and advice, visit internationalstudents.sa.edu.au/en/students/dependants/children-of-full-fee-paying-international-tertiary-students
Part-time work Many international students and their dependants hope to obtain part-time work to supplement funds for living costs. While this may be possible, we recommend students not rely on it for essential expenses. Obtaining a job is not guaranteed, and can take time. Students should also be aware the workload for many degrees is intense, so they may not have time to undertake employment.
International students who do find part-time work should be aware that they have the same workplace rights as all other workers in Australia.
For more information on working while studying, visit: homeaffairs.gov.au/trav/stud/More and search for ‘Work conditions for student visa holders’ and fairwork.gov.au/find-help-for/ visa-holders-and-migrants
Change to permanent resident status Different quota restrictions (imposed by the University and the Australian Government) apply to admissions for international students than for Australian residents. International students whose immigration status changes to Australian Perm- anent Resident will be required to transfer to a domestic fee-paying place. They may subsequently apply to transfer into a Commonwealth-supported place, depending on their degree.
Scholarships A number of scholarships will be available for international students who wish to study at the University of Adelaide commencing in 2019. For information on the application process, minimum eligibility criteria and important deadlines, visit international.adelaide.edu.au and select 'Scholarships and sponsorships' from the menu.
A selection of scholarships are also available from the Australian Government. For information on these, visit: australiaawards.gov.au

English is the language of instruction at the University of Adelaide, therefore
proficiency in English speaking, reading, writing and listening to English is essential.
The University accepts the following tests of English language:
• International English Language Testing System (IELTS) - Academic test
• Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL)
• Pearson Test of English (Academic)
• Cambridge Certificate in Advanced English (CAE).
Students without the required level of English will need to satisfactorily complete an intensive program of English language before being admitted to the University of Adelaide.
The University can arrange an appropriate English language program in Adelaide at the English Language Centre (refer to page 24). Our Pre-enrolment English Programs (PEP) provide an alternative entry pathway for prospective students who have received offers to the University of Adelaide conditional upon English proficiency.
On successful completion of one of the Pre-Enrolment English Programs (PEP) at the required standard, students are granted entry into the majority of degrees at the University. Other evidence of proficiency in English may be accepted in individual cases.

The University’s English Language Centre (ELC) provides an outstanding academic English and general English programs and English teacher training services for international students and groups.
Academic English pathways The University of Adelaide offers two packaged Academic English pathways for students who have not met the minimum English language entry requirements of their postgraduate degree.
Academic English PEP pathway
This is a direct entry pathway into further studies at the University of Adelaide. The length of the program depends on the applicant’s English proficiency test score. Students who successfully complete the Pre-enrolment English Program (PEP) at the required level do not need to sit another English test before entering their University degree. For more information on the PEP please visit the website: adelaide.edu.au/elc/courses/pathways/pep
Academic English GEAP pathway
This is a packaged program involving a mixture of General English for Academic Purposes (GEAP) and Pre-enrolment English Program (PEP) classes. A further English language test (IELTS, TOEFL, CAE or Pearson) is required during the program, either to allow transfer into the PEP program or to give students direct entry to their award degree.
Eligibility
To find out which packaged Academic English Pathway program they’re eligible for, students should refer to the Academic English pathways diagram opposite.
Other programs
General English for Academic Purposes (GEAP)

one of the most prestigious universities in Australia, with students from all around the world. Delivered in the academic environment of the University of Adelaide, GEAP is designed to build effective and confident oral and written communication skills.
GEAP is offered at five levels of language proficiency, ranging from elementary through to advanced. Students can choose the length of their program—from as little as five weeks to forty five weeks.
Group Study Tour programs
Group Study Tour programs offer the ideal mix of academic excellence and Australian cultural experience for groups of international students or professionals. Programs are tailored to each group’s specific needs and can be for any length of time, but are usually between two and five weeks. Homestay accommodation can be included.
Academic sessions can focus on general English tuition or a specific discipline or interest, while cultural activities include excursions to destinations of cultural, historical, geographical and social interest.

English is the language of instruction at Australian universities, and proficiency in speaking, listening, reading and writing is essential. The TOEFL iBT measures these four language skills to ensure students can communicate their ideas and interact in real life, classroom and campus situations. The TOEFL iBT is accepted at all Australian universities. Tests are held regularly throughout the year at the ELC.

DOUBLE DEGREES*

Students joining our school benefit from our bigger-picture view of the world. Our curriculum focuses on the built environment as a whole, not just its individual components. We specialise in three particular streams of the discipline: architecture, landscape architecture, and urban design.
To become a practising architect, students must complete a minimum five years’ study: a three-year undergraduate degree in architectural design, followed by a two-year master degree.
The University of Adelaide is the only institution in South Australia to offer a double degree pathway at master level in architecture. Completing the double master requires only one extra year of study, and qualifies students in two disciplines, thereby enhancing their career prospects.
Features of our school • We have invested in three industry
professors. Each of whom is an award winning professional in their own right. They bring a high degree of inspiration and reality to their teaching.
• Our internship program provides master-degree students with professional work placements within Australian or overseas businesses and professional practices.
• Students have 24-hour access to our computer-aided architectural design (CAAD) studio and state-of-the-art model-making laboratory—one of the best equipped architectural design labs at any Australian university.

Master of Translation and Transcultural Communication
Specialist expertisePostgraduate arts students at the University of Adelaide develop specialist knowledge and skills that extend well beyond their undergraduate degree, while learning from leading researchers and practitioners. They sharpen their analytical thinking and research skills, providing academic depth that sets them apart from others and enhances their career opportunities. We offer a range of qualifications to hone specific areas of interest, and develop advanced transferable skills relevant to the workplace or research environment.
Expanded career optionsPostgraduate surveys show that 86.4% of humanities and social sciences postgraduates rated the skills and knowledge gained in their degree as significant for their full-time employment.
What's more, postgraduate salaries are shown to be higher than the equivalent salaries for bachelor degree graduates in every employment sector. In 2015, the median salary for humanities postgraduates in full-time employment was $75 000. Postgraduates are more likely to be in permanent or long-term employment than bachelor degree graduates (85.4% compared to 66.8%).*

The Master of Arts consists of core research courses, including a thesis, courses in a specialisation of choice, plus electives and opportunities for work integrated learning.
Students are challenged to think, perform and grow to new levels, and will develop an enviable suite of transferable skills.
Areas of specialisation
Creative Practice in Music
Creative Practice in Music equips students with practical, theoretical and conceptual tools to enter the music industry as a creative artist. Students focus on the use of digital technology across the fields of sonic art, sound design and composition, including the application to contemporary media such as film and games. Students explore a variety of different approaches, both individual and collaborative, and styles from popular to experimental, in compiling a professional portfolio of creative work.
Environmental Studies
Students will develop an understanding of the principles and practice of environmental policy, planning and governance, and consider how global warming, water shortages, deforestation and the like are to be managed.
Responding effectively to environmental problems involves far more than the application of scientific knowledge, or the ‘top-down’ regulation of people and their environments. Government policies must be negotiated with, and implemented through, diverse private-sector agents and a differentiated civil society.
Managing environmental problems requires a new set of approaches, including government, public-private partnerships, economic tools and incentives, democratic decentralisation and risk management. This specialisation addresses how the signature environmental issues of our time are to be managed; now and into the future.
Global Media
Global Media features a range of thematic approaches for studying contemporary media including understandings of space and place, globalisation, and media imperialism.
Focused studies into the construction of global audiences and markets include investigations of how diasporic, minority and multicultural communities are involved in the creation and distribution of media. The commercialisation of celebrities, popular franchises and even news media has seen a greater need for economic investment and entrepreneurial management skills than ever before.
This specialisation encourages students to demonstrate an informed understanding of debates around the viability of traditional media in the face of new media platforms and economies in an increasingly global environment.
International Relations
Students explore the character of the contemporary world and gain an advanced understanding of the key issues and debates in international politics.
Students cover a wide range of topics, including strategic and security studies; contemporary international thought; gender perspectives in international relations; international political economy; issues of equity and inequality in the international sphere; power, culture and communication; and Asian and European studies.
