The University of Adelaide College (previously Bradford College) specialises in preparing students for academic success at University, providing a pathway to undergraduate study at the University of Adelaide – a world class university education and research institution committed to delivering high quality and distinct learning, teaching and research experiences, and a Group of Eight University. Since opening in 2002, the College has been a stepping stone for hundreds of international students wanting to study at the prestigious University of Adelaide. Students at the University of Adelaide College receive a personal and enriching experience. They provide personal support to help students achieve their best in their studies and to ensure they are comfortable in their social lives outside of the College, preparing them for university and their careers beyond.

The College syllabus is designed with support from the University of Adelaide. The programs combine university and bridging materials to prepare students for success in their tertiary studies.
