About Carnegie Mellon University Australia

By the time you are weighing a policy option, mapping a service problem or making sense of a complex organisation, Adelaide’s compact city centre makes daily study feel close to government, business and civic life. Carnegie Mellon University Australia is based in South Australia’s capital, where commutes are generally straightforward and the CBD, parklands and cultural precincts are within easy reach of one another.

This is Carnegie Mellon’s Australian campus, with a focus that differs from a broad, conventional university experience. It is closely associated with postgraduate education in public policy, management, information technology and related analytical fields. The work suits people who want to examine how institutions make decisions, use data and deliver services, rather than those seeking a large undergraduate campus with every discipline on offer.

Adelaide can suit international students who prefer a smaller capital city and a campus woven into the centre of town. The setting is likely to appeal to graduates and working professionals comfortable with discussion-based study, applied analysis and policy or management problems. It may be less suited to someone looking for a residential campus lifestyle, extensive undergraduate options or a course experience centred on laboratory and studio teaching.
