Update ···

Following the merger of The University of Adelaide and The University of South Australia, the Master of Nursing (Graduate Entry) program—which had been unavailable since 2026—has now officially been announced!

This is currently the only Group of Eight nursing master’s program located in a designated regional area. We’ve had students enroll every year, and the feedback has been consistently positive. Most have successfully graduated and secured permanent residency!

Program Highlights & Key Changes

Tuition fee reduced significantly: From AU$54,600/year to AU$44,500/year (based on current official figures) – great value for money!

Open to non-nursing backgrounds: Bridging courses are available online.

New intake month: Shifted from February to July – another July intake option for nursing!

Note: 

The University of Adelaide still requires English test results within 1 year of application. We have confirmed this with university representatives. If any discrepancies appear on the website, they will be updated later. The university is currently in a transitional phase post-merger, and further changes may occur.

This merger between The University of Adelaide and UniSA is expected to bring more resources and new opportunities—who knows, maybe the New Adelaide University will become your next dream school!
