The Pre-Enrolment English Program (PEP):

The PEP is an interactive, task-based course. The overall goal is to assist students in developing sufficient English language and communication skills to participate in academic studies at the University of Adelaide. As part of the course, students use Blogs and Discussion Boards to share ideas and learning experiences with teachers and peers. The use of these technologies enables students to develop ICT skills, critical thinking skills and engage in different ways of communicating in English.

At the end of the course, students are asked to submit a research paper, deliver an oral presentation and complete an exam essay.

Why Adelaide? Students can truly immerse themselves in Australian culture by studying and socialising with local and other international students, while still earning valuable academic credit from a prestigious Australian university and exploring some of South Australia’s best cultural landmarks. Students will be surprised how quickly they can ‘feel at home’ in the beautiful compact city of Adelaide. Students will be amazed by the beauty and variety of nature found in South Australia, all within short reach of Adelaide. Lush hills to the east, white sandy beaches to the west, dusty outback to the north and rugged coastline to the south mean that they will never tire of exploring their Australian home, even in the cooler winter months. Outstanding Location The University of Adelaide is located in the cultural heart of Adelaide, the capital city of South Australia. The University’s attractive main campus is situated in the centre of Adelaide’s thriving retail, dining and cultural district, bordered by the Art Gallery, Museum, State Library, Festival Centre, Botanical Gardens, CBD and the River Torrens – an ideal location for local and international students alike. Known for its pleasant Mediterranean climate, thriving economy, dynamic cultural scene and affordable cost of living, Adelaide offers an enviable lifestyle in an environment that is ideal for study and recreation. Adelaide has a high standard of living at a relatively low cost, 20% less than its east coast counterparts like Sydney or Melbourne. It is an attractive, friendly, safe and well‐planned city of wide streets and boulevards, squares, parklands and a mixture of historic and modern buildings. With a population of 1.2 million, Adelaide is Australia’s fifth largest city Orientation Students will be provided with a comprehensive orientation program including a tour of the University of Adelaide campus and also the city and surrounds of Adelaide. Student cards will be issued to students after arrival. This will allow access to all University facilities including computer labs, the University library and the many clubs and cafes on campus. Student cards also provide discounts for students on public transport, at some restaurants, the cinema and other popular student activities.

Accommodation Options Homestay Students may choose to stay in homestay accommodation in an Australian family home, allowing them to experience Australian family life and culture. Like most modern societies, Australian households vary. A homestay family does not necessarily mean a two-parent family with children. Hosts may be single individuals, married couples, single parents with children, couples or partners with or without children. Backgrounds vary greatly. Typically host families have an interest in sharing their own culture with others and are eager to learn about other cultures.

The University will endeavour to match students with like-minded families (i.e. pets/no pets, like music, like sport, smoking/non-smoking, etc.). Homestay accommodation will be located near public transport which students can catch to and from the University. Students will have their own bedroom and will be provided with breakfast, lunch and dinner each day.

Student Apartments Alternatively, students may choose a room in an air-conditioned apartment within a purpose-built student accommodation complex. We offer accommodation at 2 locations: The Village (university-managed) and Urbanest (university – endorsed). Both are within easy walking distance of the University of Adelaide’s North Terrace campus and other city conveniences. At Urbanest, each room has its own en-suite and comes furnished with a king single bed, desk, wardrobe, bedside light, full length mirror, pin-boards, blinds and plenty of storage. The apartment common area includes a large refrigerator, microwave, cupboard and bench space, oven/cooker, corner lounge, entertainment unit, coffee table and cleaning equipment. The complex includes common facilities such as social areas, BBQ, games area, big screen TV area, coin-operated laundry and bike store. The building has secure swipe-card access and CCTV.

The Village is situated in the vibrant west end of Adelaide’s central business district and offers independent living in a supervised environment. Students may choose to live in a fully furnished townhouse or apartment – single rooms are either en-suite or offer a shared bathroom with one other student, always of the same sex. Unlimited Wi-Fi internet connection is right across the facility, available for multiple devices and fully integrated with the University network and exclusive to residents of The Village.

Support Services From the moment students arrive, the University of Adelaide has a range of high quality support services designed to help international students settle in quickly and succeed in their studies. Students who have chosen homestay will be met at the airport by their host families when they arrive and taken to the airport when it is time to return home. All other students will be met at the airport by a University of Adelaide representative and taken to their chosen accommodation. International Student Support The International Student Support area is responsible for the ongoing support of international students. Their services include general counselling, assistance with student issues, and welfare support.

In addition, each apartment comes with a package which includes 20GB per month wireless internet, all bills, iPod docks, TV, kettle, toaster, linen pack, kitchen pack and contents insurance.

All townhouses and apartments at The Village have been designed to create a comfortable living

area with appropriate separation of bedrooms from kitchen, bathroom and shared living rooms.

Additional University Support Services In addition to the International Student Support’s Student Advisers, the University also operates the Counselling Centre on campus, which is staffed by professional psychologists. Located next to the Counselling Centre is the University Health Service which provides standard medical treatment and advice. These services are available to all students.

Library With over 2.2 million print and electronic resources, the Library is well placed to support learning, teaching and research at the University of Adelaide. Students in the Library can take advantage of a number of services including wireless internet access for laptops, study areas for individual or group study, 24 hour computer suite, photocopiers and an interlibrary loan service. Specialist librarians provide training and assistance in searching for information and in using the Library.

Student Facilities and Activities The University of Adelaide has a new state‐of‐the‐art 24‐hour student facility known as Hub Central. The Hub offers food and retail outlets, student services, study and relaxation areas and bookable group study rooms. This flexible space is well utilised by both local and international students. In addition to those facilities offered by Hub Central, the Adelaide University Union provides

a variety of on‐campus eating places, a bar, a bookstore and theatre facilities. The University also has its own gym on campus, the Sports Hub.
