Region information

South Australia is a sophisticated, modern, stylish and affordable place to live, work and study. It has a population of 1.4 million with more than 1.1 million residing in the capital city of Adelaide. Adelaide has all the hallmarks of a major urban centre with modern and classical architecture, a bustling retail hub and a multi-cultural population. During the warmer months of February and March the city plays host to the largest Fringe Festival in the Southern Hemisphere and this annual event is accompanied by highlights such as the Womadelaide World Music Festival and the Adelaide Festival.

Adelaide's Mediterranean climate is perfect for people who enjoy outdoor, healthy, vibrant lifestyles and the city's residents enjoy clean, sandy beaches and scenic hills, both about 30 minutes drive from the city centre.

Welcome backpacks, the Survival Guide to Adelaide for International Students and a year-long program of free events are all part of StudyAdelaide's commitment to help make your time in Adelaide unforgettable.

Every year about 13,000 new international students from more than 120 countries receive StudyAdelaide's welcome backpacks and the local community offer warm greetings to students carrying the bags.

Also, a comprehensive, 60-page Survival Guide to Adelaide is also distributed to all new students, providing advice on everything from finding accommodation and part-time work opportunities, to personal safety and free city bus routes. (Unlike Sydney and Melbourne, Adelaide's international students also receive the same public transport concessions as local students.)

Every year in March, the Lord Mayor of Adelaide plays host to more than 650 international students at the historic Adelaide Town Hall. Business and community leaders join with giant puppets, Aboriginal dancers, juggling acts and cuddly koalas in entertaining students and welcoming them to the city.

The Governor of South Australia also annually hosts a farewell party for international students finishing their studies, with South Australia's best food and wine served in a beautiful marquee in the lush grounds of Government House.

It's all part of a year-long program of free StudyAdelaide events that includes free tickets to sporting events, arts and cultural events, educational seminars to help you with your career, competitions and much more.
