The University of Adelaide and the University of South Australia will no longer accept applications for new students from 5 August 2025 because they are merging to form a new institution: Adelaide University, which will officially open in January 2026. This strategic union aims to combine their strengths and create a future-focused university with enhanced research, teaching, and global engagement capabilities.

If you're planning to study in 2026, applications should be directed to Adelaide University instead. Would you like help navigating the new application process or drafting a student-focused announcement for your website?
