The reasons you should choose Flinders

  1. Housing – Flinders is the only South Australian university with on-campus accommodation in the Adelaide metropolitan area. There are two options:
    • University Hall (catered)
    • Deirdre Jordan Village (self-catered).

    For off-campus accommodation, Flinders Housing runs a free, up-to-date accommodation service that lists private accommodation available on the rental market.

  2. Media – The students’ Association of Flinders University (SAFU) published Empire Times from 1969 to 2006. The founder and first editor of the newspaper were Martin Fabinyi, and the newspaper was originally printed in the back of his house by fellow student Rod Boswell. Empire Times had a history of controversial humour and anti-establishment discussion. Former editors and contributors included Martin Armiger and Greig (HG Nelson) Pickhaver, Steph Key and Kate Ellis. Empire Times ceased publication in 2006 as a result of voluntary student unionism but resumed in 2013.
  3. Sports – Flinders University has many sports teams that compete in social and competitive competitions. Flinders University currently has 22 affiliated sporting clubs. These clubs range from social-based to highly competitive sporting clubs, including Aikido, Athletics, Badminton, Baseball, Basketball, Cricket, CrossFit, Football, Hockey, Kendo, Korfball, Lacrosse, Men’s Soccer, Muay Thai, Netball, Quidditch Squash, Ultimate Frisbee, Underwater, Volleyball, Wing Chun and Women’s Soccer. Additionally, Flinders University students have the capacity to go away to annual university games events and compete in a range of sports while representing the university.
  4. Advanced technology – Unique innovation and entrepreneurship offerings are supported by the Flinders New Venture Institute, a global entrepreneurship leader located at the University’s high-tech Tonsley campus. In contrast, its Victoria Square campus provides an alternative study space in the heart of the city. In addition, an award-winning, state-of-the-art student hub at the main Bedford Park campus fosters interactive learning in a digitally enabled environment. Programs at Flinders University are regularly reviewed with industry partners to ensure advances in technology are incorporated in all curriculums, framing new courses, course content or investments to support outstanding student learning.
  5. Research strengths – Flinders University’s research strengths include biomedical and clinical sciences, culture, policy and society, health and medicine, mental health and human behaviour, molecular science and technology, defence, engineering, water and environment.  Its research contributions are rich and growing, with some 90 per cent ranked at or above world-class by Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA). With a mission to change lives and change the world, our researchers are addressing challenges of local, national and global significance to deliver outcomes for the betterment of society. They do this by boldly and bravely contesting ideas, adopting new approaches, and pushing the boundaries of knowledge to uncover new insights and learnings.
