Studying in South Australia
To sum up South Australia in one word: serenity. In this calm Australian state, Adelaide is the capital (and only) city. While SA is considered a semi-arid state, when you land in Adelaide you wouldn’t have any idea you’re surrounded by desert.
The city is built with serenity in mind, and is considered one of the most well-planned and happy cities in the world. Despite its smaller population, Adelaide is home to international students from over 150 countries. In terms of lifestyle and attractions, Adelaide is as wholesome as it gets. Here you’ll find the largest fresh produce market in the southern hemisphere (The Central Market), beautiful vineyards and stunning landscapes. This city also houses more restaurants than any other major city in Australia.
When it comes to studying in Adelaide, you’re really spoilt for choice. Some of the most popular institutes include:
- University of Adelaide Business School
- Kathleen Lumley College
- Carnegie Mellon University, Australia
- Torrens University
- Flinders University
- University of South Australia
- University of Adelaide
Adelaide also truly caters to the student lifestyle. Not only does it have a great public transport system (a student essential), it’s also the cheapest Australian city to study in. In fact, living in Adelaide will cost you 19% less than it would cost you to live in Melbourne or Sydney. Your estimated cost of living would be between $355 to $700 per week.
If you’re looking for courses in Adelaide, you can be certain you’ll be able to live a comfortable — and fun — lifestyle without breaking the bank, and you’ll gain a qualification from an exceptional education institute.
