What to Bring
Clothing
We advise you to refer to the Adelaide climate chart for guidance. While Adelaide has a relatively mild climate, temperatures can at times be cold or hot, particularly at night and during the day respectively. During winter months sweaters and a warm jacket will be required. Shorts, shirts and t-shirts are required during summer. A hat and sunglasses for use in summer are also recommended.
Study Supplies
Students taking the following classes are required to have a financial calculator.
- Financial Analysis
- Cost Benefit Analysis
The required model is a Sharp EL-735 (currently retailing in Australia for $104.95).
You may find it cheaper to purchase in your home country before travelling to Australia. Many students choose to bring their own laptop computers although this is not a requirement – all students are issued electronic access cards to the campus, providing access to university computers 24 hours per day, seven days per week.
We do not recommend purchasing textbooks prior to arrival. Faculty can change the edition of the textbook they use at short notice requiring a new book to be purchased upon arrival. Furthermore sometimes different faculty members teach different sections of the same course and may not always use the same text. Books can be purchased in Adelaide during orientation.
Electrical
Australia has a 240V power supply. If you are intending to bring electrical goods you may require an adaptor.
Medical supplies
Students should consider bringing medical prescriptions, spare reading glasses/contact lenses from their home country as these can be quite expensive in Australia. Refer to the section on Medical Insurance/OSHC for further information.
