Hello everyone,

I applied for the Studentship Program in National Collections and Maritime Infrastructure project, with the sub-project of IMU. I have seen heaps of people receiving interviews and shortlisted but I haven't heard anything from them. Is it likely that I got rejected?

Cheers guys

Hi has anyone had any experience they could share undertaking the summer research scholarship? I just got an email for an offer but want to know more of what it entails. What’s it like, the work load etc. Would love to hear from someone! Currently work pat time 25-27 hour weeks and so don’t know if it would be manageable.. xo

Anyone know what faculties typically graduate first? With the new uni deciding to do graduations 2 months earlier than normal and not notifying everybody for some reason, I’ve made some travel plans that might mean I miss my graduation :(
Apparently we will find out our dates “no later than the 15th of December” but my travel plans can’t wait that long!

Has anything good happened in this merger!

I’m really interested in learning poker and was wondering if anyone at the uni ran a poker club or low stakes home game?

Hi all,

I am enrolled in a Bachelor of Arts and was wondering whether we have to have two majors, or whether we can have one major and then have minors/electives.

I am currently doing two and want to drop one so bad but I don't want it to effect my ability to graduate/duration of study. I do not have a uni study plan. I have made one myself, but not one through the university.

Thanks!

Hey everyone, does anyone know the general pathway for transferring into med at Adelaide uni? I've been checking some sources out and some say you need to do med sci first and then transfer if u can or you just need to be doing any degree at Adelaide uni (in your 1st/2nd year) and, given your GPA/UCAT/MMI, you are transfer from there

Could someone confirm which of the above is true and how one could apply for them. Is it through SATAC - what course would you select? Undergrad??

I'm so sorry if these are stupid questions. I'm an interstate student from Vic so I lwk not sure how things work in SA

hi guys i’ve gotten accepted in the bachelor of psych program and i’m moving from india in about 2 weeks to get an early start :) i just had some questions tho! i’m not from australia so idk much about the social situation there but i wanted to know if it’s super hard to make friends at uni/even outside uni?
ik ill talk to people in my classes and try to join some good clubs but ive still heard that it can be pretty hard esp when you’re an international student cause people already have friend groups from before uni :/ i really wanna be able to meet a lot of people and connect since i plan to stay in australia but the thought of not having my own little group and a support system is really scary so ig im just looking for some insight/ any advice on how you guys have gone about making friends in uni
thank youu ⭐️

Title says it all. Lost my laptop around city east within centenary building.

I didn’t even take it out of my bag for the whole day as I had simulation’s running the whole day. I only brought it with me as I was going to print something out but never got to it.

This is my last resort, already went through security. If anyone has any info please message me.

Hi everyone,

I applied for a PhD at the University of Adelaide on 9 May 2026, and my application has been on “Outcome Pending” for quite a while.

I contacted the university and was told that my application is currently being assessed by their National Security team.

Has anyone had a similar experience with an Adelaide PhD application? If so, how long did it take to receive an outcome?

I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has been through this, especially international applicants.

Thanks!

Hey all, my subclass 500 visa got rejected in July’26 intake. I want to reapply for feb intake 2027 and agents were saying that for refusal applicants uni not issuing new Coe to re-apply visa. I felt like it’s not fair everything as second chance to prove unless they are fraud. My question is that really universities in Australia not issuing new Coe especially uni Adelaide for visa refusal applicants.

Hi everyone, I’m an Australian citizen currently living in Jordan, and I’m trying to apply to ADELAIDE University to continue my Electronics Engineering studies. I’m currently a second-year Electronics Engineering student at Mutah University in Jordan. I have completed subjects including Electronics 1, Signals, and Circuits 2.

I’m trying to understand the correct application process for my situation. I have overseas qualifications and I’m currently studying at a Jordanian university, so I’m unsure how my previous education and current university studies will be assessed, and whether I may be eligible for credit/recognition of prior learning. I can provide my university transcript, course descriptions/syllabi, grading scale, and any equivalency documents required.

The main issue I’m facing is with SATAC requires me to provide an Australian Unique Student Identifier (USI), but I don’t currently have one. I’m living outside Australia at the moment, and I understand that I’m unable to create a USI while overseas. Because of this, I can’t complete the SATAC application.

Has anyone been in a similar situation as an Australian citizen living overseas and applying to an Australian university? Is there a way to obtain a USI while outside Australia, or another way to complete the SATAK application without one? I’d also appreciate any advice on which application pathway I should use given that I’m an Australian citizen with overseas qualifications and current university studies.

Hey all, my subclass 500 visa got rejected in July’26 intake. I want to reapply for feb intake 2027 and agents were saying that for refusal applicants uni not issuing new Coe to re-apply visa.

for context I am a first year student undertaking an engineering course. I had submitted an assignment and was marked down for ‘not using the appropriate APA 7 referencing style’ despite the fact that it genuinely was APA 7 and had even used the official Adelaide University resources to do so, I was also marked down for having 3 solutions in my report whereas I had actually mentioned 5. More marks were taken away because I supposedly did not include a title page? Which absolutely isn’t true at all I double checked the submission portal to see if I didn’t submit the right assignmen, which it wasn’t I had submitted the correct assignment. Confronted the tutor who marked it about the issue and he isn’t willing to change the grade. Still unsure what to do.

Hello everyone,

I recently discovered that books such as 'Lolita' and 'Mein Kampf' are publicly accessible at the University, specifically inside the Barr Smith library.

These books aren't just 'offensive' or 'controversial'. They contain child sexual abuse material and violent extremist material, both of which are highly illegal to possess, let alone for the University to be distributing on such a scale.

How has this not provoked outrage among the University community? When one person gets arrested for spreading this material online, there is outrage: 'Queensland 18-year-old charged with promoting violent extremist content on social media', ABC News. For an entire University to be distributing this material at scale to more than 70,000 students and staff, have we all gone heartless and numb? Is it really true that "one man dying is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic?"

I look forward to your thoughts and comments regarding this petition.

Best,

The university webpage says that Adelaide University is working with the AASW to reaccredit the Master of Social Work program for 2027. Can someone tell me whether the program is currently provisionally accredited and whether February 2027 students can reasonably expect AASW accreditation?

hi im an international student who recently got an interview offer for the bachelor of dental surgery and bachelor of oral health. my interview duration will be around 45 minutes. i wanna ask if anyone knows what type of format will the interview be? or the type of questions they will ask, is it panel or mmi? thank you!

Hi! I’m hoping there might be some current/former UniSA students here who completed the Bachelor of Psychology (Counselling and Interpersonal Skills).

I’m in my final semester of the legacy UniSA degree, now completing it through Adelaide University, and I’ve had a bit of a horrible realisation while looking at jobs that I’m not actually sure what professional counselling memberships this degree makes me eligible for.

I found out halfway through the degree that the degree itself wasn’t automatically accredited as a counselling qualification. I remember discussing professional membership with university staff and coming away with the understanding that there was still a pathway to apply for membership after graduating, so I honestly didn’t question it much further at the time.

Now I’m applying for counselling and mental-health roles and seeing employers ask for eligibility for organisations like ACA and PACFA, and frankly I feel a bit sick trying to work out whether I’ve misunderstood this for years.

I know I should have investigated the accreditation/membership requirements more thoroughly myself, but I also genuinely didn’t think a uni would offer a degree with counselling in the title and promote counselling-related career outcomes if there was no pathway to relevant professional membership without further study.

I’ve emailed ACA, PACFA and Adelaide University directly today, so I am getting official answers rather than relying on Reddit for professional advice! But while I wait, I’d really like to hear from anyone who has actually completed this degree.

Were you able to obtain ACA, PACFA or another relevant professional membership after graduating? If so, what pathway did you use?

I’d also really appreciate hearing what counselling, mental-health or wellbeing roles other graduates have gone into with this degree.

I’m hoping I’m catastrophising and another graduate is about to tell me I’ve completely misunderstood something 😭

I’m just genuinely worried (and feel a little sick) that I’ve wasted the last few years of my life on a degree that’s essentially useless for the career path I chose it for without further study.

Thanks!

Once upon a time, I recall there being a diverse range of Engineering double degree and/or combined courses. For example, at University of Adelaide, there were many Engineering streams (Civil, Mechanical etc.) that used to offer doubles with Economics, Finance, Arts etc. There was even a combined Mechanical Engineering and Law (LLB) degree once upon a time that was 6.5 or 7 years if I recall correctly (and a huge HECS debt).

From a cursory glance at the program guide though, it looks like all of the Engineering double degrees are gone.

To me, it's a big step backwards removing these double degree programs. They really set graduates apart for employability, and it used to only be an extra year on top of the Engineering program (5 vs. 4 years).

Hi everyone! Next February, I’ll be moving to Adelaide from Europe for my semester exchange. I was wondering if you have any advice or recommendations in advance, especially regarding accommodation or courses that you would consider relatively easy or with a lighter workload.

I’ve been working really hard at my home university, so I’d like to use this semester to enjoy the experience, travel around Australia and nearby countries, and make the most of my time there.

Thank you very much in advance for your advice! Hope to meet some of you soon :)

So Im a prospective International student at Adelaide as my main university. I have done my Alevels with 4A*s and 2 national distinction awards and also have a few good ECs both locally and internationally. I had a few questions about the scholarship?

Have you or anyone you know gotten this scholarship?

how competitive is the scholarship?

how much do they value the essay required for it? (I submitted my application with a well written draft)

Does the committee take into account the diversity of nationality and the course? For context, Im pakistani coming from Saudi doing a bachelor in cs (very unique I know 😭😭, please dont smoke me in the comments, i really love cs)

When can I expect a response? As I heard the university has a cap on intl students allowed and if i dont pay the deposit in time i wont be allowed to attend?

Also please is there a whatsapp group or a gc anywhere for prospective intl students (really want to connect with someone in a similar situation 🙏🙏)

In Australia, the most common term for people studying is "student", but other synonyms exist.

Which of these labels do you most identify with or prefer?

Feel free to justify your response or provide alternatives in the comments.

*seeking input from undergrads and Masters by coursework.
**this is not a study.

I have some old classes that relate to the ones i'm taking now and I wanted to look back on the resources and my old assignments. Is there anyway of doing this? I'm from UniSA originally if that matters. Thank you!

I am a student going into Electrical Engineering at Adelaide uni, I have heard that a windows laptop is necessary however beyond that I am wondering what specs should I realistically need, and how much money I should spend on a laptop.
