Adelaide is an excellent environment for study. A medium sized city of about one million residents, the city is home each year to some 23,000 international students from all over the world who come here to further their education.

Adelaide is set on a coast of white sandy beaches and a backdrop of ancient hills. The mild Mediterranean climate makes Adelaide a favourite venue for major cultural and sporting events. Enthusiasts flock each year to see the Tour Down Under cycling event, international cricket matches, and a V8 Supercar street race. Those seeking culture will already know about the famous Adelaide Festival of Arts, annual Adelaide Fringe Festival, Cabaret Festival, Guitar Festival and many others. Adelaide is often referred to as the Festival State.

If you want to take a break from study, or the vibrant city life, there are surf beaches, renowned wine regions and beautiful outback getaway locations less than an hour’s drive from the city centre.
South Australia is a major centre for industries in mining and engineering, defence, and car manufacture. Education and the wine industry are also very important to the city’s economy and character.

Students enjoy ease of transport and very reasonable living and accommodation costs compared to cities on the east coast of Australia.
