We aim to become the research partner of choice and Australia’s most industry-engaged university.
With buildings steeped in history, vibrant galleries and public spaces, and the latest in teaching and research facilities, Adelaide University’s Adelaide City Campus is perfectly positioned on North Terrace in the Central Business District (CBD).
The campus encompasses precincts at both the east and west of the city. The western precinct features cutting-edge creative studios and modern learning spaces. Located adjacent to the Adelaide Botanic Gardens, the eastern precinct is infused with rich architectural history and cultural significance.
North Terrace is well known as Adelaide’s cultural boulevard. With institutions like the SA Museum, Art Gallery of South Australia, Jam Factory, Samstag Museum of Art and MOD, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to discover South Australia’s rich history and culture.
Adelaide City Campus is easily accessed by public transport and is included in the city’s free tram travel zone that runs between the South Terrace, Adelaide Entertainment Centre, Festival Plaza and Botanic Gardens tram stops.
