The University of Adelaide and the University of South Australia have agreed to formally progress discussions to merge, with the new institution, to be called Adelaide University, to be operational by January 2026, if all goes to plan. “It’s a potential magnet to attract some of the biggest brains and brightest students to South Australia.

“It’s research that drives rankings. But teaching is what employers are looking for. That’s what prepares students and graduates for work.”
