The University of Adelaide was founded in 1874 and was Australia's third-oldest university. Based on North Terrace in the heart of Adelaide, its sandstone campus and landmarks such as Bonython Hall reflect a long research and teaching history, supported by the Waite and Roseworthy campuses for agriculture, wine and veterinary science. A member of the Group of Eight, it taught across health and medicine, sciences, engineering, business, law, arts and agriculture. In January 2026 it merged with the University of South Australia to form Adelaide University, which now delivers its programs.
