Hello Fam,
I’m a new incoming international student for Masters and was wondering what’s the latest enrolment date as the orientation is on 20th of July and classes start 3rd August. As I’m still awaiting my Student Visa !
Hi everyone, I am an incoming international student starting my Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical) (Honours) this July. According to the program notes, this is a multi-campus degree, meaning I will have to study at both Adelaide City and Mawson Lakes campuses (sometimes even within the same study period). Since I am currently looking for accommodation, I want to make sure I pick a strategic location. For those who are already in this program or senior engineering students, could you please share your experience on how the classes are usually split? Do we spend most of our time at Mawson Lake or City campus? Or is it a pretty even 50/50 split throughout the semesters? Which area would you recommend for me to rent a room so that commuting to both campuses is manageable? Any advice or insights on this would be highly appreciated. Thank you so much in advance! 😊
This is a stupid question, but I'm unable to find any answers/confirmation on this query. If you're part of the mid-year intake, do you enrol in the semester 2 courses in the study plan, or in semester 1? Any confirmation/clarifications would be greatly appreciated:)!!

So I had to defer my intake in 2024, Visa was granted just 2 days before course started in sept 2024 , so had to defer my intake and started in feb 2025. Now my concern is people asked me to file visa (bridging visa) after coming here before few months of expiry (oct 2026), but now by research I got to know we have to apply student visa 500 again and it will be granted as Bridging visa. Now I met lot of people who have same issue this year. My exact question is what should do, like apply through consultation or independently or anyone knows who has been through this process earlier ??
Out of curiousity, are there any secret societies or clubs in Adelaide University?

Hi, Please SIGN this petition and REPORT this incident asking Adelaide University to assess the risk of having Tianxiao Zhao on campus.. a violent crime is a violent crime and not ok to subject other students to fear and discomfort while using shared campus spaces.

If you've not heard, there was a tragic incident on March 30 where an Adelaide University student, Tianxiao Zhao, kicked and beat his housemate's cat Ozai to death. Due to this brutality, Ozai had a broken jaw and perforated lung because of which had to be humanely put to sleep while Tianziao is out on good behaviour bond.

I've been here a while now and honestly it's been a struggle since day one to make the cost of living work.
I used to work in construction long hours, worked my ass off but ended up leaving because the workplace culture was toxic as even though I kept working hard each day they weren't satisfied and kept on talking nonsense, it Wasn't worth it no matter how hard I grafted and affected my mental health.
After that I was genuinely stoked to land a retail job. It's the kind of work I'd always wanted to get into. But the shifts have been all over the place, only 6 to 10 hours a week, which just doesn't cover the basics. So now I'm in the position of needing a second job that can give me another 10–15 hours a week, ideally with shifts flexible enough to work around my retail roster.
A few things I'm hoping to get from this post:
If your workplace is hiring casual or part-time (retail, hospo, warehouse, production, honestly anything) and is decent about hours, I'd really appreciate a pointer in the right direction. Happy to take specifics over DM.
For anyone managing the Adelaide cost of living right now whether you grew up here or moved here for study/work like me ,what's actually helped? Budgeting tricks, cheap eats, side hustles, anything that's gotten you through a tight patch.
For other students (international or local) juggling multiple casual jobs around classes, how do you do it without burning out?
Not trying to just vent , I know plenty of people here are doing it tough right now, not just students. Just feeling stretched thin and figured this community might have some practical advice or leads.
Thanks heaps in advance 🙏
Adelaide University spent about $105.9 million on consultants in 2025, up from $60.9 million in 2024, according to SA’s Auditor-General.

let the uni know what you think of this guy being on your campus, in your classes - keep in mind that people who abuse animals are usually violent with humans too.
you can report him to the University of Adelaide's integrity unit:

Thinking of getting a membership to the city west pridhma hall gym. I'm a current adelaide uni student. Does anyone go there? If so, would you recommend it for a beginner gym? Are the equipment and facilities any good, and when are the busiest times?
Thanks!
Let me get this straight for 2025: The VC of UniSA got $3.1m and the VC of UoA got $1.3m. As if this isn’t outrageous enough, the new AU follows this pattern: There was a non-VC position (as the co-VCs got paid by the old unis) who got more than $1m in 2025 and look at all the other salaries of the executive officers!!! I wonder who this $1m person is… the provost? the COO? Or the guy who ran the “successful” merger? We will likely never know as AU is as intransparent as the old unis.
AU continues to be a vehicle for senior management to get their greedy hands on taxpayer money and student fees!
I was a UofA student back in the 2000s and spent many of my contact hours at the Uni Bar. There was one fixture that was a favourite of ours - the man drinking beers on a deck chair in the water. Does anyone know a) the story behind this painting and b) whatever happened to this painting?
Hi, recently I've recieved an offer for a PhD program at whaite campus after a few months of no, yes, maybe, no, yes candidacy (the doubts came from of the university and not supervisors). I was wondering if someone had a similar situations with their candidacy at Uni Adelaide and how long did it take to have their scholarship granted?
Hey guys,
I calculated my final course mark to be 84.79. I cannot find any information on rounding procedures at adelaide uni but is it likely that this will be moved into a HD? My performance was HD the whole semester but then I got a dodgy group which dragged my score. Thanks.
Hello! I'm currently deciding between UWA and AU to enroll in in July 2027.
I was initially sure on AU because they have an undergraduate course that aligns with my future career choice (Bachelor of Business majoring in Procurement and Supply Chain Management). The school also has a pretty generous scholarship that'd help me a lot too. Besides that, I have acquaintances in Adelaide + I heard the city's pretty decent. Then I read about the merger and how it's been affecting students + staff so I'm now hesitating....
UWA's another option but unfortunately they don't have a course in Logistics/Supply Chain Management (I'm not really sure what else to take). I believe the climate in Perth is also hotter than that in Adelaide (correct me if I'm wrong). But compared to the other options that I have, UWA's pretty solid.
Please give me some advice on this. Thanks in advance!
Edit: Wow, I didn't think many people would see this post 😭 Although I still have many doubts about other things, I at least feel more confident in my decision to pick AU now. Thank you all so much!
everyone! I’m a student currently doing a uni pathway diploma here. I’m looking to connect with other Mallus in the area to hang out, grab some food, or just chat.
The uni workload/diploma pathway can get pretty hectic, and I'd love to meet some people who share the same culture and vibe. Drop a comment or slide into my DMs if you're around!
just got accepted into my foundation studies course.
any laptop recommendations?
