Located in the national capital, The Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA)
in Canberra is a centre for higher education for the Australian Defence
Force.
Within the Academy, The University of New South Wales (UNSW) has
established a college, known as UNSW@ADFA
(formerly University College), responsible for conducting academic
programs and research. UNSW@ADFA
offers
undergraduate programs leading to UNSW bachelor degrees in Arts,
Business, Engineering, Science, and Technology. Additionally we offer
opportunities for graduate study and research leading to higher degrees,
diplomas and certificates.
The main campus of The University of New South Wales is situated in
Kensington, an inner south-eastern suburb of Sydney. In addition to the
campus at the Australian Defence Force Academy, there is a campus at
Paddington and a number of research stations in other parts of New South
Wales. It is one of the largest of the Australian universities, having a
student population of more than 35,000 and a full-time staff of some
5000, of whom more than 2000 are teaching and research staff.
At UNSW@ADFA our undergraduate
students are mid shipmen of the Royal Australian Navy and officer cadets
of the Australian Regular Army and Royal Australian Air Force, who are
in residence at the Academy, and other members of the Australian Defence
Force. In addition to their academic studies, officer cadets and mid
shipmen undertake programs of military training at the Academy and at
Service Training Establishments. Registration for higher degrees is
available to both military and civilian applicants.
Entry to undergraduate programs at the Academy as a midshipmen or
officer cadet is by selection. Applications are invited from young women
and men who are seeking careers as officers in the Australian Defence
Force, who have appropriate educational qualifications and meet certain
physical and personal standards.
Applications for postgraduate coursework and research are accepted from
civilians as well as serving Defence personnel. Further information is
available from the UNSW@ADFA
Student Gateway.
The total number of students enrolled at UNSW@ADFA for 2007 is 2091, of
whom 984 were undergraduates and 1007 postgraduates.
