Foundation: 1991

Mission: We educate and prepare global learners from all backgrounds, instilling professional skills and knowledge and the capacity and drive for life-long learning. We undertake research that is inspired by global challenges and opportunities, delivers economic and social benefits and which informs our teaching.

Vision: UniSA will be ranked among the very highest nationally for student satisfaction and graduate employment rates. Our top 20 accredited programs will all rank among the very best in Australia and feature on the QS Top 100 subject listings internationally. 15% of our operational income will come from research activities with 60% of that activity directly linked to industry partners. We will grow the scale and focus of our research by building capacity in areas that we have demonstrated excellence and shown potential for growth. Programs will draw on expertise from across the institution for their delivery - the best input contributing to the best offerings through academic curriculum communities. By 2025 we will be placed within the Top 8 institutions nationally for research excellence, and known as the sector’s most industry-engaged university. UniSA will be a high performing, culturally enterprising organisation; our core atributes embedded in all that we do, be at the forefront of our leadership and reflected in the diversity of our people and how they work together. Our teaching, research and practice will be consolidated on precincts, closely integrated and aligned with industry. By 2025, UniSA will have grown by 20% to 40 000 enrolled students. Within this cohort, 25% of students will engage with the University online - as domestic, international, transnational, postgraduate and undergraduate students.
