Bachelor Programme
Information Technology
Adelaide University's Bachelor of Information Technology (the University of Adelaide and UniSA merged into Adelaide University in 2026) starts with programming, IT systems, system requirements and security foundations shared with its other IT degrees, so students can switch majors with credit. They can then major in Data Analytics, Games Development, Networking and Cyber Security or Software Development, or mix courses across those areas. In third year an ICT capstone project is done with industry or professional clients, and a placement with an industry partner is possible. Graduates work in software development, network administration, games development and data analytics.

Application Deadline
Adelaide University has no fixed application closing date for international students in most programs, but advises applying at least three months before the start date: international admissions can take 4-6 weeks to assess an application, and you also need time to get a student visa. In the 2027 academic calendar, Semester 1 teaching starts 22 February 2027 (orientation from 8 February) and Semester 2 teaching starts 2 August 2027 (orientation from 26 July). Apply online through the International Application System or through an official Adelaide University education agent. Citizens of the Middle East, North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia (Bangladesh, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka), the Philippines and Latin America must apply through an agent. A non-refundable A$150 application fee applies to each application. International students completing Year 12 (SACE or equivalent), or the IB Diploma in Australia, apply through SATAC instead.
