A sophisticated, beautiful and cosmopolitan
city of around 1.2 million people, Adelaide has four
internationally recognised universities, an extensive
vocational training system and a wide range of specialised
tertiary institutions. It is also the ideal environment
in which to learn English, the increasingly important
language of commerce and communications.
Adelaide’s well-resourced institutions
are at the cutting edge of many fields. For example,
university and commercially-based research and development
have generated internationally recognised advances in
biotechnology, agriculture, winemaking, animal science
and information technology. Adelaide has become
a destination of choice for experts and specialists
in these fields and continues to attract experts in
other disciplines.
Residents in Adelaide enjoy all the
benefits of a big city without the hassles. Shopping,
night life, pubs, restaurants, clubs, theatre and sport
are in abundance, accommodation is affordable and the
cost of living the lowest in mainland Australia –
however the standard is the highest, due to locals having
a wonderfully large gap between what they pay and what
they earn. Students in Adelaide feel safe living
in a community environment. They know that they
are experiencing a city which is pollution-free, has
plenty of space, is green and very clean – a perfect
environment for studying and enjoying. A warm
and welcoming greeting will meet you on arrival and
continue throughout your stay.
Adelaide is blessed with fantastic long
beaches, pollution free oceans, a wonderfully vast multicultural
society, the country’s longest shopping mall,
more restaurants per capita than anywhere else in Australia,
the biggest cinema complex in the Southern Hemisphere
and a wonderful standard of living.
With over 25,000 international
students studying in the city and metropolitan areas,
Adelaide is experienced in hosting visitors, who with
a bonus five points for migration purposes, often become
locals themselves!
