With origins dating back to 1856, the University of South Australia (UniSA) has built on its long history to create innovative education and academic opportunities which meet international standards; such as the prestigious EQUIS accreditation for the Division of Business.
UniSA today has more than 27,000 students across six Australian campuses, and another 3,000 enrolled in its offshore programs.
UniSA has established links with industrial, commercial and government sectors; stemmed from the long tradition of part-time study by people in employment wishing to enhance their career prospects, and from the practice of involving expertise within the community in the curriculum development process.
