University of Adelaide
The University of Adelaide is a public research university based in Adelaide, South Australia. Established in 1874, it is the third-oldest university in Australia. Its main campus in the Adelaide city centre includes many sandstone buildings of historical and architectural significance, such as Bonython Hall. It is co-located on its east with the historical Royal South Australian Society of Arts. The institution, which predates the university, then included the Art Gallery of South Australia, the South Australian Museum and the State Library of South Australia where studies were conducted prior to its construction. It is also adjacent with the Australian Space Agency headquarters on Lot Fourteen, through which it plays a notable role in the Australian space industry.On its east, the university neighbours the former South Australian Institute of Technology, with which the university had maintained historically strong ties. The institute later became the independent University of South Australia during the Dawkins Revolution following an amalgamation with various tertiary colleges dating back to 1856. The two universities, which account for over 72% of the state's public university population, agreed to merge in mid-2023. The combined institution will be re-branded as Adelaide University with the amalgamation expected to complete by 2026.
The university has four campuses, three in South Australia: its historic North Terrace campus in central Adelaide, the Waite campus in Urrbrae, a regional campus in Roseworthy and one in Melbourne, Victoria. Its academic activities are organised into three faculties, which are subdivided into numerous teaching schools. It also has a number of research institutes and centres. In 2023, the university had a total revenue of , with from research grants and funding. It also has the third-largest endowment in Australia, behind only Melbourne and Sydney.
It is a member of the Group of Eight, an association of research-intensive universities in Australia, and the Association of Pacific Rim Universities. The university is associated with five Nobel laureates, constituting one-third of Australia's total Nobel laureates, 116 Rhodes scholars and 164 Fulbright scholars. It has generated a considerable impact on the public life of South Australia, having educated many of the state's leading businesspeople, lawyers, medical professionals and politicians. It also has been associated with the discovery and development of penicillin, the development of space exploration, sunscreen, the military tank, Wi-Fi, polymer banknotes and X-ray crystallography, and the study of viticulture and oenology.
