An incredibly industryconnected environment
The University of Adelaide provides one of
the most stimulating environments in the
world for study related to the defence, cyber
or space industries. Our main city campus
stands literally next door to Lot Fourteen,
Adelaide's thriving innovation and technology
precinct, which includes:
• Our University's own world-leading Australian
Institute of Machine Learning (AIML), the
largest machine learning research centre
in Australia
• The Australian Cyber Collaboration Centre
(A3C), in which we collaborate with the
Australian Government's Defence Science
and Technology group and others
• The Australian Space Agency, Space Discovery
Centre, and Mission Control Centre.
Other organisations with a Lot Fourteen
presence include Microsoft Azure Space,
Amazon, Inovor Technology, and the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
bigdata Living Lab—all of whom our AIML
partners with in ongoing real-world research.
Huge range of degrees to choose from
Making the most of this remarkable environment,
we offer a number of different degrees that can
start you on your path in the defence, cyber or
space industries. These range from data analytics,
computer science and information technology
programs, to engineering, space science and
astrophysics, and mathematical sciences.
We also offer South Australia's only specialist
aerospace engineering degree. And whatever
direction you choose, you'll have multiple
opportunities to gain practical experience
through workplace projects and internships.
Career prospects
Employment growth for the majority of defence,
cyber and space roles range broadly from stable
to very strong**.
Additionally, Adelaide holds the highest share
of Australia’s overall civil space pipeline and,
as such, our city is home to one of the highest
concentrations of space and defence-related
organisations in the country‡.

companies incorporate or enhance self-learning
extraction-and-processing control systems to
extract greater value from increasingly complex
resources - faster, safer and at lower cost. And
we can pass that knowledge on to you.
Our recent industry experience includes
collaborating with:
• BHP, OZ Minerals and others on mining and
processing control platforms
• Boart Longyear, a global drilling giant, to allow
generation of geological information in close
to real time, directly at the drill site
• Orica, an Australia-based multinational
commercial explosives and blasting systems
specialist, to apply digitally integrated AI to
their blast mode.
Full-spectrum energy expertise
We also have significant, proven expertise in
all areas of the energy sector, with experience
advising on—and leading—projects relating to:
• optimal power system and resources
planning, modelling and operation
• renewable energy generation and
hybrid systems
• energy storage, including advanced batteries
and underground hydrogen
• critical minerals, advanced energy materials
and catalysts
• microgrids and electric vehicles infrastructure.
We're highly capable in the areas of
environmental sustainability and social

providing fantastic opportunities for you to
sharpen your skills working on real legal matters
in your final year of study. Places in these clinics
are limited and are subject to an application
process. These include the:

issues, and criminal law
• Magistrates Court Legal Advice Service,
assisting with minor civil disputes
• Equal Opportunity Commission Legal
Advice, advising on discrimination,

practical legal training. Our Graduate Diploma in
Legal Practice satisfies this requirement.
Similarly, our criminology graduates work in
settings such as the criminal justice system,
policing, security, intelligence, corrections,
court administration and welfare. Their unique
expertise is instrumental in roles that involve
policymaking, research, education or training.
