Flinders University is an integral part of Australia's respected higher education system and makes an important economic and social contribution to South Australia and to the nation.

Flinders has a high research profile and consistently ranks among Australia's top universities on a per capita basis for research. Established in 1966, in a period of significant expansion of higher education in Australia, we have grown to become a model for a modern university – successful, progressive and dynamic yet still friendly and accessible.

We emphasise innovation and excellence in our educational programs and research across a wide range of disciplines. Flinders is steadily expanding its international profile and has increasing numbers of onshore and offshore students who come from over 80 countries.

Aims By 2025 we will be one of the best universities in the world, distinctive because our research-intensive, international focus enables us to address important theoretical and practical challenges, and develop graduates who will wish to do the same.
