University of Adelaide programme expansions

Overview

In late July 2026, the University of Adelaide announced a rapid rollout of new health-focused degree offerings. On 29 July, it launched a four-year Bachelor of Medical Radiation Science (Honours) and a Bachelor of Health Science covering public-health topics.

On 29 July, the university also introduced two online graduate-level qualifications: a part-time Graduate Certificate in Acute Nursing for registered nurses, emphasizing ethics, leadership, and evidence-based practice, and a Graduate Diploma in Biostatistics, delivered with the Biostatistics Collaboration of Australia. These programmes aim to support professionals in rural or remote areas by providing training in statistical theory, epidemiology, and data management to improve health-sector decision-making.

On 30 July, the university launched a four-year Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) with a cognitive neuroscience focus. This programme integrates psychology theory with neuroscience, utilizing specialized facilities such as the Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory, the Psychology Clinic, and the Sleep and Chronobiology Laboratory. The curriculum covers developmental psychology, human anatomy, biology, and data science to prepare students for various sectors, including human resources, marketing, and technology, though those seeking registration as psychologists must pursue further postgraduate study.
