Postgraduate Research

The University of Adelaide is one of Australia's most research-intensive universities.

Adelaide is particularly well-known internationally for its strengths in the biological sciences (especially agriculture and molecular biology/biotechnology); the physical sciences (especially physics and geology and geophysics); health sciences (medicine, dentistry); information technology and telecommunications; environmental sciences and management; and social sciences (especially Asian studies, international economics and human geography).

The University is small enough to provide personal interaction with teaching staff, yet large enough to offer a broad range of programs and outstanding opportunities for research. Its research is at the leading edge of knowledge and the University of Adelaide consistently ranks high among the top universities in the Asia-Pacific region in winning research funds.
