About Kaplan International College (CRICOS 03127E)
The University of Adelaide College, operated by Kaplan Higher Education Pty Ltd, offers pathway programs to the University of Adelaide. Previously known as Bradford College until 2016, it is located on Grenfell Street in Adelaide, South Australia. It has a student population of around 800 students from Australia and abroad. The college provides an excellent pathway to a Master’s or Bachelor’s Degree at the University of Adelaide. It is particularly for students who do not meet the university’s high school entry requirements or need specific subjects—such as Specialist Mathematics, Maths, or a science discipline—to qualify for their chosen degree. From January 1, 2026, these programs will transition to Adelaide University, a new institution formed by merging the University of Adelaide and the University of South Australia (UniSA). The foundation studies and pathway programs are closely monitored to ensure they meet the academic standards needed for university admission. These programs offer a variety of subject choices, intakes, and learning experiences while studying in Australia.
