The University of Adelaide is a public research university based in Adelaide, South Australia.[11] Established in 1874, it is the third-oldest university in Australia.[12] Its main campus in the Adelaide city centre includes many sandstone buildings of historical and architectural significance, such as Bonython Hall.[13] It is co-located on its east with the historical Royal Society of Arts South Australia.[14] The institution, which predates the university, includes: the Art Gallery of South Australia, the South Australian Museum and the State Library of South Australia.[15] It is also adjacent with the Australian Space Agency headquarters, through which it plays a notable role in the Australian space industry.[16][17]

On its west, the university neighbours the former South Australian Institute of Technology, with which the university had maintained historically strong ties.[18][19][20][21] 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.[20] The two universities, which account for over 72% of the state's public university population, agreed to merge in mid-2023.[22][23][24] The combined institution will be re-branded as Adelaide University with the amalgamation expected to complete by 2026.[25]

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.[26] Its academic activities are organised into three faculties, which are subdivided into numerous teaching schools.[27] It also has a number of research institutes and centres.[28] In 2023, the university had a total revenue of A$1.13 billion,[4] with A$334.15 million from research grants and funding.[7] It also has the third-largest endowment in Australia, behind only Melbourne and Sydney.[7]

It is a member of the Group of Eight, an association of research-intensive universities in Australia, and the Association of Pacific Rim Universities.[29][30] The university is associated with five Nobel laureates,[31] constituting one-third of Australia's total Nobel laureates, 116 Rhodes scholars[32] and 164 Fulbright scholars.[33] 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.[34] It also has been associated with the discovery and development of penicillin,[35][36] the development of space exploration,[37][38][39][40][17] sunscreen,[41] the military tank, Wi-Fi,[42] polymer banknotes and X-ray crystallography,[43][44][45] and the study of viticulture and oenology.[46][47]
