The University of Adelaide College (Formerly Bradford College)

A foundation platform for entering The University of Adelaide, the college is aimed at helping new students settle into the life of higher education, and progress from freshmen graduates to degree and master holders. The college is also highly dedicated to being an institution of not only learning, but also in guidance to becoming a better adult overall, offering small classes for greater attention, and aiding in life outside and beyond studying.

As part of the University, students at The University of Adelaide College have full access to all the facilities of the university to encourage familiarity and ensure full provision of resources. A wide spread of clubs, societies and the student union are also available to provide comfortable and fun experience to make the most out of your student life.

The University itself is considered to be the best of Australia's higher education institutes, being a member of the Group of 8; Australia's institutes leading depth and scope of research. With strong roots in output and training, it is no surprise to the university having 5 alumni who became Nobel Laureates and over 100 Rhodes Scholars, among which was named the first indigenous winner of Australia.
