History, Affiliations and Rankings

The University of South Australia (UniSA) was founded in 1991 in the Australian state of South Australia, but its roots can be traced back to the late 1800s. The forerunners of today’s UniSA were the South Australian School of Art, founded in 1856, the first of several Teacher Training Colleges formed in 1876, and the School of Mines and Industries which was established in 1889.  These schools were well-known for offering high-quality education and meeting the demands of the fledgling colony of South Australia. The University is affiliated with the Australian Technology Network (ATN), Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU) and Universities Australia (UA). Economics, Business, Public, Environmental & Occupational Health, Social Sciences and Public Health are the top 150 ranked programmes at the University. According to the Times Higher Education, the university is ranked between #301-350 in the World University Rankings 2022, between #101-200 in the Impact Rankings 2021, and joint #45th in the World Reputation Rankings. It's ranked at #326 in the QS World Rankings for 2022.
