Adelaide University for Indian Students: Fees, Entry

One university from two

The merger joined a research-intensive Go8 member with a technology university known for engineering, health and business, and Adelaide University now teaches the courses of both. The Adelaide City campus on North Terrace is the centre; engineering and IT are also taught at Mawson Lakes, education and social sciences at Magill, and agriculture and wine science at Waite and Roseworthy.

English entry is IELTS 6.5 with 6.0 in each band for most degrees, and 7.0 with 6.5 in each band for education, languages, communication and philosophy. Nursing, law, teaching, psychology and other health degrees set 7.0, and speech pathology 8.0.
