University of Adelaide

The University of Adelaide (or Adelaide University) is located in Adelaide, South Australia. It was founded in 1874, making it the third oldest university in Australia. It is a member of the "Group of Eight", an association of research intensive Australian universities. The main campus of the University is at North Terrace in the central business district of Adelaide, but it has four other campuses; Roseworthy, Waite and Thebarton, and more recently, the National Wine Centre.

Student Organisations

Keeping with standard practice in Australia, membership of the Adelaide University Union (AUU) is compulsory for all students. This might change with planned introduction of voluntary student unionism or VSU at Australian universities by the Federal Government. The AUU funds seven affiliates which carry out their functions autonomously. They are the Adelaide University Postgraduate Students? Association (AUPGSA), the Clubs Association (CA), the Overseas Students? Association (OSA), the Roseworthy Agricultural Campus Student Union Council (RACSUC), the Sports Association, the Students? Association of the University of Adelaide (SAUA) and the Waite Institute Students? Association (WISA).
