the amalgamation of South Australian Institute of Technology and the Magill,
Salisbury and Underdale campuses of the South Australian College of Advanced
Education. Since then, the University has come a long way, in terms of education
and research.
The University is dedicated to creating and applying knowledge; engaging
within it communities and maintaining cultural diversity amongst staff and
students. The University believes that education must be accessible to everyone.
For this, it maintains an approach to teaching and learning which is
student-centered, focused on the outcomes of higher education, and delivered
through very flexible program arrangements.
UniSA is committed to the creation and application of knowledge. All its
courses are designed in consultation with industry and the professions, and

strong and expanding links in teaching, research, consultancy and continuing
education with partners in Asia, Europe, Africa and North America.
The University focuses on strategic, basic and applied research in
multidisciplinary teams and the commercialisation of intellectual property. The
teaching and learning approach emphasises constant up- gradation, and up to date
research orientation with online delivery and the achievement of graduate
qualities. The research issues are local, national and international, with an
expansive outlook involving collaborations, creativity, agility and enterprise.
The two research institutes, Ian Wark Research Institute (IWRI) and the
Institute for Telecommunications Research (ITR), help achieve this goal. These
centers carry on fundamental and applied research, specialising in particle and
mineral interfaces. ITR is one of Australia's foremost research organisations
specialising in technology for digital wireless communications. Academic rigour,
excellence and relevance underpin the University’s research and its
applications.
