The University of South Australia (UniSA) is a public research university in South Australia. In July 2023, the university agreed to merge with the neighbouring University of Adelaide.[14] The two universities together account for 72% of the state's public university population.[15][16][17] The combined institution, which plans to join the Group of Eight, will be re-branded as Adelaide University with the amalgamation expected to complete before 2026.[14] Students starting studies at the pre-merger institutions from 2025 onwards will be issued degree certificates from Adelaide University.[14] Students enrolled on or prior to 2024 will be able to opt in to adding antecedent institutions' names and logos on their parchments.[14]

The university was founded in its current form in 1991 with the merger of the South Australian Institute of Technology (SAIT, established in 1889 as the South Australian School of Mines and Industries) and the South Australian College of Advanced Education (SACAE, established 1856).[18] The legislation to establish and name the new University of South Australia was introduced by the Hon Mike Rann MP, then Minister of Employment and Further Education.[19] Under the University's Act, its original mission was "to preserve, extend and disseminate knowledge through teaching, research, scholarship and consultancy, and to provide educational programs that will enhance the diverse cultural life of the wider community".[20]

UniSA is among the world's top newer universities, ranked in the World's Top 50 Under 50 (universities which are under 50 years old) by both the Quacarelli Symonds (QS) World University Ranking (#29) and Times Higher Education (THE) (#46). It has two Adelaide city centre campuses, two Adelaide metropolitan campuses, and two South Australian regional campuses.
