Its earliest antecedent institutions were both founded in the Jubilee Exhibition Building of the former Royal South Australian Society of Arts. The South Australian Institute of Technology was founded in 1889 as the School of Mines and Industries and the South Australian College of Advanced Education dates back to the School of Art in 1856. The institute later gained university status during the Dawkins Revolution following their merger in 1991. Its expansion over three decades, including to sites on the west end of North Terrace, and broadening fields of studies later contributed to its status as the state's largest university with 34,878 students in 2023.

The university comprises six campuses including the City East and City West campuses along North Terrace, a tech-oriented campus in Mawson Lakes, the Magill campus specialising in social sciences and two regional campuses in Mount Gambier and Whyalla. Its academic activities are currently divided between the seven academic units. In 2023, the university had a revenue of A$715.5 million. It is a member of the Australian Technology Network, an association of technology-focussed universities, but will join the Group of Eight following the merger.

Notable alumni of the university include the incumbent foreign affairs minister Penny Wong, the Human Rights Watch director Tirana Hassan, the founding editor-in-chief of Vogue China Angelica Cheung, former state premier Steven Marshall and retired politician Christopher Pyne. It also manages several museums and exhibitions in a range of fields, including the Samstag Museum and Adelaide Planetarium, and is a part of the state's space and defence industry.

History

The University of South Australia was formed in 1991 following by the merger between the South Australian Institute of Technology with three campuses belonging to the South Australian College of Advanced Education.^[2]

Antecedent institutions

School of Art

Main article: South Australian School of Design

The now-demolished Jubilee Exhibition Building in 1885

The SA School of Art, the earliest antecedent institution of the University of South Australia, was established in 1856 at the former Royal South Australian Society of Arts.^[11][2] The independent art school, which went through many name changes, resided for most of its history at the Jubilee Exhibition Building which was later transferred to the University of Adelaide in 1929.^[12][2][13] It remained on its campus until 1962 when the building was demolished to make way for several university buildings.^[2][14][15] It is one of the oldest art schools in Australia, and the oldest public art school.^[16] The SASA Gallery in the Kuarna Building, which showcases creative works by students and researchers, is the modern descendant of the school.^[17][18]

South Australian Institute of Technology

The Jubilee Exhibition Building was also the birthplace of the South Australian Institute of Technology which was established in 1889 as the SA School of Mines and Industries.^[14][19][20] It moved to the neighbouring Brookman Building in 1903, named after the Scottish-born businessman George Brookman who contributed £15,000 towards its construction.^[21][22][23]

Brookman Building (1903), shortly after its construction

The building, which took three years to complete, was opened by then-state governor Samuel Way.^[23] It is located on the site formerly the eastern annexe of the Jubilee Exhibition Building on the corner of North Terrace and Frome Road between the University of Adelaide and the then-Royal Adelaide Hospital.^[23] When opened, only the main hall was named after George Brookman, and a plaque commemorating his contribution is still located in the hall.^[23] The Brookman Building in the nearby Grenfell Street, now the site of the Grenfell Centre, was his business headquarters.^[23]

The institute maintained strong ties with the neighbouring University of Adelaide that included the co-ordination of teaching, laboratories and examinations across fields of engineering and sciences.^[24][25][26] Despite the university later establishing its own faculty of engineering in 1937, the reciprocal relationship remained intertwined to its University Council and studies completed at the institute were recognised as equivalent studies eligible for credit towards university courses.^{[24][25][27][28]} The institute later expanded to the regional city of Whyalla in 1962 and to the Adelaide suburb of Mawson Lakes in 1972 as The Levels.^[19][2][27] In 1965, it was designated an advanced college which initiated an expansion in the variety of courses available.^[17] The campuses on North Terrace, Mawson Lakes and Whyalla all remain a part of the University of South Australia.^[2]

South Australian College of Advanced Education

The Adelaide Teachers College, which changed names and shifted locations multiple times throughout its existence, was established in 1876.^[29][30] Despite not being located at the University of Adelaide campus until 1900, students from the institution attended university lectures since at least 1878.^[29][30] In 1921, it renamed to the Adelaide Teachers College, in line with other interstate teachers colleges.^[29][30] Despite offers from the university to take control of the college, which was heavily integrated into the university, the Education Department retained administrative authority throughout its early history.^[29][30] The Hartley Building was built as its permanent home in 1927.^[29][31][30]

The college eventually renamed to the Adelaide College of the Arts and Education.^[29][26] It also established additional teachers colleges in other parts of the city including Magill.^[29][32][2] Following a series of mergers,^[2][33][32] the colleges expanded to become advanced colleges which all later amalgamated with the original mother college to become the South Australian College of Advanced Education in 1982.^[29][34][35] The combined institution continued its presence alongside the University of Adelaide with which it maintained joint teaching, facilities and committees.^{[26][36][37][29]} The campus merged with the latter university in 1991 with three of the remaining campuses merging with the SAIT to establish the University of South Australia.^[38][12]

Merger and establishment

See also: Dawkins Revolution

Stronger demand for advanced college places throughout the country resulted from a broadening appeal of higher education beyond the traditionally elite education provided by the universities.^[39][40][41] Advanced colleges were originally designed to complement universities, forming a binary system modelled on that of the United Kingdom.^{[41][42][43][44][45]} It was originally created by the Menzies government following World War II on the advice of a committee led by physicist Leslie H. Martin, during a period of high population growth and corresponding demand for secondary and tertiary education.^{[39][45][46][47]} This sector ceased to exist when, between 1989 and 1992, the Hawke-Keating government implemented the sweeping reforms of Education Minister John Dawkins that dismantled the binary system.^[41][45][48] The states, eager for increased education funding, merged the colleges either with existing universities or with each other to form new universities.^{[41][43][44][45][47][49]} Following its expansion and increasing autonomy from the University of Adelaide, the South Australian Institute of Technology was given the option to merge with either TAFE South Australia or the South Australian College of Advanced Education.^[12][24][25] It chose to merge with the latter advanced college resulting in the establishment of the University of South Australia, which continues to remain neighbours with the University of Adelaide.^[12][49][50]

The University of South Australia became the state's third public university, a continuation of the former South Australian Institute of Technology that merged with most of the SACAE, and maintained their historical presence next to the University of Adelaide, in the suburbs of Mawson Lakes and Magill and in the regional city of Whyalla.^[51][2][52] Its expansion over the next few decades, including to sites on the west end of North Terrace, and broadening fields of studies contributed to its status as the state's largest university by student population.^[51][52][53] It also became the second-largest university nationally by number of online students, either in the state or from other parts of the country, and expanded to Mount Gambier in 2005.^[48][54] In 2021, the university celebrated its 30th birthday.

Ongoing merger with the University of Adelaide

Main article: Adelaide University

In June 2018, the University of South Australia and the University of Adelaide began discussions regarding the possibility of a merger. The proposition was dubbed a "super uni" by then South Australian premier, Steven Marshall, and Simon Birmingham,^[55][56][57] but the merger was called off in October 2018 by the University of South Australia, which was less keen.^[58][59] Vice-chancellor David Lloyd, in an email to University of South Australia staff, claimed that the amalgamation lacked a compelling case. This statement was contradicted by the University of Adelaide's chancellor who said that the merger continues to be in the state's best interests and a spokesperson for the university added that it was still open to future talks.^[60][61][59] Following the release of several internal FOI documents retrieved by ABC News, it was later revealed that the merger talks failed due to disagreements on the post-merger institution's leadership structure.^[59] The name Adelaide University of South Australia was agreed upon by both universities and Chris Schacht, who previously served on the University of Adelaide Council, alleged that the merger talks failed due to disagreement on which vice-chancellor would replace the other following their amalgamation.^[59]

Students from the two neighbouring universities near Bonython Hall on North Terrace

In early 2022, the topic of a merger was raised again by the new state government led by premier Peter Malinauskas, which proposed setting up an independent commission to investigate the possibility of a merger between the state's three public universities should they decline.^[60][62] He had made an election promise to take a heavy-handed approach towards the merger to reduce students departing to higher-ranking institutions on the east coast and to improve the state's ability to attract international students and researchers.^[62][60] At the time, staff's opinions were evenly divided on the idea of the commission.^[61] Following the appointment of merger advocate Peter Høj as University of Adelaide vice-chancellor, both universities announced that a merger would once again be considered.^[63][64] The universities began a feasibility study into a potential merger at the end of the year.^[64] The invitation to merger negotiations was rejected by Flinders University, the state's third public university.^[65]

The agreement for the merger was reached on 1 July 2023 by the two universities, which then accounted for approximately two-thirds of the state's public university population, in consultation with the South Australian Government.^{[1][66][67][7][68]} The rationale for the amalgamation was a larger institutional scale may be needed in order to increase the universities' ranking positions, ability to secure future research income and a net positive impact on the state economy.^[69][70] The two universities argued that by combining their expertise, resources and finances into a single institution, they can be more financially viable, with stronger teaching and research outcomes.^[71] Support for the merger among existing staff were mixed, with a National Tertiary Education Union SA survey showing that only a quarter were in favour of the amalgamation.^[72][1] Warren Bebbington, who previously served as vice-chancellor at the University of Adelaide, described the proposed institution as a "lumbering dinosaur" in reference to its timing during an ongoing federal review of the higher education sector.^[69] Vice-chancellor Colin Stirling described plans to provide the new institution with A$300 million in research funding and scholarships as "unfair" to students who choose to study at Flinders University.^[69] The combined figure was later revised to A$464.5 million to include land purchases, with an additional A$40 million research fund set up for Flinders University.^[73]

The University of South Australia (left) is set to merge with the University of Adelaide (right) by 1 January 2026

In November 2023, legislation passed state parliament enabling the creation of the new university to be named Adelaide University, previously a colloquial name used by the University of Adelaide.^[73][74] An application for self-accreditation authority was submitted to the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA) on 15 January 2024, which was needed for the institution to offer courses that issue qualifications.^[75][76] Following approval on 22 May 2024, students starting studies at the pre-merger institutions from 2025 onwards will be issued degree certificates from Adelaide University.^[77][78] Students enrolled on or prior to 2024 will also be able to opt in adding antecedent institutions' names and logos on their parchments.^[78] The combined institution is expected to become operational by January 2026, with an additional transitional period extending to 2034.^[71][79] It is projected to have 70,000 students at launch, with one-in-four students being international students, and contribute approximately A$4.7 billion to the Australian economy annually.^[80] The amalgamation has been subject to mixed reactions.

Campuses and buildings

The university has six campuses in South Australia including the City East and City West campuses in the Adelaide city centre, the two metropolitan campuses in Magill and Mawson Lakes and two regional campuses in Mount Gambier and Whyalla.^[81]

The Brookman Building of the university is its ancestral home

City East

The City East campus is located on the corner of North Terrace and Frome Road, next to the University of Adelaide.^[82] The main Brookman Building, constructed in 1903 and named after its benefactor George Brookman, formed part of the original School of Mines and Industries later renamed to the South Australian Institute of Technology.^[21][23] It was inherited by the university, which also later expanded to the west end of the terrace as City West.^[51][52] The David Murray Library is the main library on the site and is located in the Brookman Building.^[83][84][85] It is named after Scottish-born merchant and politician David Murray who donated £2000 towards the library.^[86][87]

Qualifications that can be used for consideration include Australian and New Zealand high school certificates or international equivalent, a Grade Point Average from prior higher education, TAFE and other RTO qualifications, competitive scores from a Skills for Tertiary Admissions Test and prior work experience or military service with the Australian Defence Force.^[188][189] Some courses have additional pre-requisites.^[190] Additionally, the South Australian Institute of Business and Technology, Eynesbury College, the English Language Centre and TAFE South Australia offer pathways into university programs.^[191]

Students starting studies from 2025 onwards will be issued degree certificates from Adelaide University with past alumni and continuing students having the option to add the University of South Australia name and logo on their parchments.^[192]

Student life

Pridham Hall is a gymnasium and multi-sport facility

Sports and athletics

Founded in 2013, UniSA Sport has 28 sports clubs and competes as Team UniSA.^[193][9] It includes several clubs that predate the university.^{[194][195][196]} This includes its hockey club which was affiliated with the antecedent South Australian Institute of Technology since 1970.^[197]

Student union

The University of South Australia Student Association (USASA, formerly UniLife) is a democratic organisation run by students.^[198] The association operates both as the representative voice for university students and as a provider of a wide range of services.^[198] The union also supports a range of services, including 71 clubs and societies, social events and an advice service.^[198][199]

Student magazine

The USASA produces the Verse Magazine which was established in 2014 and has an annual print run of 12,000 copies.^[200][201] The two magazine publish artwork and written pieces including creative writing, essays, opinion pieces, photography, poetry and visual art.^[201][200]

Newland Building of St. Mark's College, one of several private residential colleges

Residential colleges

St. Mark's College was founded in 1925 by the Anglican Diocese of Adelaide and is the oldest of the colleges.^[202] It was developed by some former residents of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge among others with the goal of developing a similar collegiate lifestyle.^[202]

Aquinas College was founded as a men's college in 1950 by the Catholic Church at Montefiore House, the former residence of Samuel Way.^[203][204] It later expanded to surrounding sites and became co-residential in 1975.^[203]

Abraham House, one of several heritage buildings that are part of Lincoln College

Lincoln College was founded in 1952 by the Methodist Church and named after the Lincoln College at the University of Oxford.^[205] Originally established as a men's college, it became co-residential in 1973.^[206] It features several heritage-listed buildings.^[207]

St Ann's College was founded as a women's college in 1947.^[208] The college's honorary founder is politician Josiah Symon who in 1924 suggested that female students should have somewhere to live.^[208] It became co-educational in 1973.^[208]

There are also other private student accommodation providers in the city centre and near other campuses.^[209] Additionally, Whyalla campus manages its own student village.^[210]

Controversies

Initial merger discussions

The University of South Australia and the University of Adelaide had previously engaged to discuss a merger in 2018 but failed due to disagreements from the latter about the post-merger leadership structure.^{[58][59][60][61]}

Opinion polling on staff

The National Tertiary Education Union SA conducted a survey of 1,100 university staff and found that three-quarters of respondents were against the merger.^[1][72][220] In addition, the state government has been accused of coercing the universities to agree to merge, indicating that a commission of inquiry would be established to find ways to compel the two universities to merge had their councils refused to do so, with less financial support available.^[1][72][221]

Andrew Miller, the state secretary of the union, raised concerns that staff were under "extreme psychosocial pressure" to meet the 2026 launch deadline.^[222] Backing his claims with communications from the Integration Management Office staff responsible for merging the two institutions, he added that the "Game of Thrones" perception among staff competing "for the final spots of the new Adelaide University" was causing tensions, breakdowns and disharmony.^[222] The institutions' vice-chancellors David Lloyd and Peter Høj criticised the claims, referring to them as "whispers of Little Birds or Littlefingers",^[223] though they had previously admitted that the "two-by-two approach across the board" was "not as linear as first conceived”.^[222]

Despite previous polls claiming low support from staff, the vice-chancellors added that the over 3,000 staff who attended the July 2024 Adelaide University launch event were enthusiastic about the new brand identity.^{[1][220][223]} They also wrote that criticism should instead be directed towards the proposed caps to international students caused by a national housing shortage.^{[223][224][225]}

The post-merger plan to switch to a trimester academic calendar has also been criticised by the union whose internal poll showed that more than 4 in 5 members were against the move.^[226] The University of New South Wales had previously also switched to a trimester model, allowing students to complete a 3 year bachelor's degree program in 2 years with shorter breaks.^[227] As of 2024, UNSW is considering reversing the change following a 40% drop in paid hours for staff, decreased time for non-academic activities and student burnout from increased workload.^[227]

Land re-development

In February 2024, the State Government drew criticism for its plans to convert land it had purchased from two University of South Australia campuses for housing and commercial re-development.^[119] As part of the merger agreement, the land was to be sold to the South Australian Government for A$114.5 million and leased back to the university for a period of up to 10 years.^[119] Following the release of several internal FOI documents retrieved by InDaily from the Premier's Office, it was later revealed that the land was "earmarked for future development" for residential and commercial purposes.^[119]

The original media release replaced the phrase with "short-term transitional lease to university", referring to the leaseback period of 10 years, following concerns from UniSA vice-chancellor David Lloyd that the original draft would "create enormous community reaction which will be particularly unhelpful at this time".^[119] The land sales account for the entirety of the Magill campus and approximately 50% of the Mawson Lakes campus.^[119]

Tram stop

The university is served by two stops on the Glenelg tram line, University and City West, which connects the City East and City West campuses respectively along North Terrace.^{[228][82][90]}

Preceding station	Adelaide Metro			Following station
