Of the thousands of international students seeking an exciting study and life experience in Australia each year, many discover that the city of Adelaide is the perfect place to find it. With its affordable lifestyle, relaxed and safe atmosphere, Mediterranean climate, accessible and convenient location, and reputation for offering high quality education, it is no surprise that Adelaide is such a consistently popular study destination.
With its rich cultural background, Adelaide is home to a vast array of restaurants and the largest fresh produce market in the southern hemisphere – in fact, South Australia is often regarded as the food and wine centre of Australia. Adelaide is particularly well known as the nation’s festival capital, hosting the biennial Festival of Arts, Fringe Festival and WOMADelaide, in addition to an annual calendar full of multicultural, music, comedy and food festivals and events. From the inspiring atmosphere at events such as Writers’ Week and the Festival of Ideas, to the gastronomic appeal of our various food and wine festivals, you’re sure to find plenty of opportunities to get involved in Adelaide’s festival scene.
Sporting enthusiasts won’t miss out either. Australia is generally well known as a sports-loving nation and Adelaide is no exception. Each year, Adelaide hosts a variety of premier national and international sporting events including Adealide Clipsal V8 motor racing , tennis and golf championships, one-day and Test series cricket at the panoramic Adelaide Oval, and Australian Rules football, to name just a few. It is also the venue for the annual Tour Down Under cycling event which features some of the world’s top professional cycling teams, including a team supported by UniSA.
If you choose to study and live in Adelaide, you will soon discover that it is the perfect base for exploring some of Australia’s diverse attractions. Drive just one hour from the city and you’ll find world-famous wine regions, picturesque coastline, quaint villages, and the majestic Murray River.
Even further afield in the state’s north are the breathtaking Flinders Ranges and outback, covering more than 80 per cent of the state and offering spectacular ancient ranges, open desert spaces, lakes, wildflowers and wildlife, historic towns, and a fascinating Aboriginal and European history.
