a rapidly-growing number of specialised research groups

Some of the world’s brightest minds teach and research at the University in the areas of business, education, arts and social sciences, health sciences, information technology, materials science, engineering and the environment

In the 2011 QS World University Rankings, the University of South Australia recorded the fastest rise of any Australian university for the second consecutive year, and we are now ranked in the top three per cent of more than 10,000 universities worldwide

The University is also committed to high-quality research that contributes practical solutions

to real-world challenges We foster an intellectually rigorous research environment, and remain at the forefront of collaborative and industry-relevant research in a range of priority areas, including community sustainability, population health and minerals science

Recently, the inaugural Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) assessment – an official national evaluation of the quality of research – showed that 70 per cent of our assessed research is at – or above – world-class standard In addition, the University of South Australia ranked second in Australia for funding received from the Federal Government under the Cooperative Research Centres scheme

The University’s world-class research also informs our teaching and learning, and a large part of our continuing success is due to the collaborations developed with key partners in business, industry and the community, which complement the work-focused nature of our degrees Consequently, the rate of full-time employment of our graduates is the highest in South Australia, as is their average starting salary

The University also maximises its international links to remain at the forefront of research and teaching, and recruits academic staff from across the world who are research leaders

in their fields The proportion of our academic staff who hold doctoral qualifications is the highest in South Australia, and well above the Australian university average

The University of South Australia is making further significant investments to develop some

of the most exciting learning and research environments in Australia, with more than

$1 billion to be invested in additional physical and virtual infrastructure, new initiatives and improved services across our campuses This will further enhance our standing as an education provider of first choice, and ensure that our teaching, learning and research continue to be recognised as world-class

Join the University’s award-winning MBA program

5 stars from the Graduate Management Association The University of South Australia recently won a five-star rating for its MBA program for the fourth year running The 2012 MBA

rankings, released by the Graduate Management Association of

Australia, nominated eight Australian institutions with a five-star

rating but only the University of South Australia, the University of Queensland and the Melbourne Business School have held the quality rating long-term

Number 1 for customer satisfaction The Australian Financial Review’s Boss magazine rated our MBA Australia’s most popular

Number 2 for value for money The University of South Australia’s MBA beat all the majors for getting your money’s worth

A focus on Asia Pacific makes this a better program

‘The University of South Australia is one of the few universities which offer a Master of International Business program

I was living in Korea at the time and contacted the program director, You-il Lee, for advice He made me feel comfortable

as the degree is very much focused on the Asia Pacific region This made it a better program than those offered by other universities

I’ve noticed that the academics at the University are heavily involved in research They then use real-life examples based on their research or experience within the industry in the classroom, so you can always relate what you’ve learnt back to those situations The academics are also very approachable and really willing to help all of the students in the class, especially the international students

There are also very few American students here I like that because it’s given me the opportunity to learn more not just about Australian culture, but also from students from other cultures within

my classes

I’m from Fresno, California, which has about half the population of Adelaide,

so I find Adelaide an ideal place to live

The cheaper cost of living in Adelaide

is also a factor It’s a quiet and peaceful city yet is very multicultural and has

a great nightlife It is actually known

as the ‘Festival City’ because there’s always some sort of event on here The Adelaide beaches are a great place to relax and they are only 20 minutes away from the city centre There is an amazing sporting culture too – people in Adelaide are a lot more active than back in the States and I’ve really enjoyed going to the Australian football matches here which have crowds of up to 50,000 people

Adelaide is also a great place to be based

to see more of Australia I’ve been Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra and have also been to various regions throughout South Australia such as Hahndorf, Victor Harbor and the Barossa Valley

I live at Glenelg beach in a two bedroom apartment only a minute’s walk from the beach I share with my spouse and we pay

$340 per week We love living in this part

of Adelaide because it is such a relaxed area with great shopping, restaurants and entertainment Glenelg is really convenient for us because we don’t need to buy a car The tram from Glenelg travels directly to the city and even stops right out the front of the University of South Australia campus

Because of my management experience, I’ve been able to substitute some of my International Business electives with MBA electives As such, my program director has allowed me to participate in a

‘Business in China’ study tour in Shanghai and Beijing This includes presentations from guest speakers, visits to local business and Government and a focus on the political and cultural aspects of China There are also opportunities for me to

go on exchange and to participate in an industry placement I really appreciate all of these because it will give me a significant advantage over students from other universities when I graduate and look for work here in Australia.’

A love of research led to a marketing career

A love of research and the desire to improve her qualifications led Kate Newstead (at right) back to the University of South Australia after successful undergraduate studies here

Kate’s Master by Research thesis, Best

Practice Media Scheduling: A real world application, led to her being awarded the

degree at the end of 2010

‘I like research’ says Kate, ‘and I wanted

to improve my qualifications It’s a chance

to really work intensely in an area you’re passionate about The University of South Australia was the default choice for me – I did all my studies here Fortunately it’s one of the best places in the world to research in the ad/media area because of the calibre of staff at the Ehrenberg-Bass Institute and their industry partners

‘I got a job at the Ehrenberg Bass Institute while doing my degree and ended up working on global accounts –

so I had lots of interstate and overseas travel and lots of networking with top level marketers and media people

You have to do a postgraduate degree if you want to be an executive eventually

All of the research I did was based

on industry advertising practice –which involved liaising with agencies, advertisers, media companies and media data providers There was no shortage

of industry collaboration My research findings were also sent out to a long list

of marketers and written into corporate reports for the Ehrenberg-Bass Institute that are circulated around the world’s top marketing organisations

‘I presented my initial results at the ESOMAR (an international organisation devoted to market research worldwide) WM3 conference in Stockholm in May 2009 I also presented related research at the Wharton Business School at University of Pennsylvania

in 2008 at a conference called Empirical Generalisations in Advertising I have also presented to a range of national and international clients such as General Mills, Kraft, Meat & Livestock Australia and M&M Mars.’

Although Kate had a job at the Ehrenberg-Bass Institute for Marketing Science while she prepared for her

degree, an APA (Australian Postgraduate Awards) Scholarship made it possible for her to stop work in the final six months of the degree so that she could focus entirely

on her thesis

‘I think people’s experiences vary dramatically depending on what school/research institute they work in,’ says Kate ‘For me I can’t rate the Ehrenberg-Bass Institute highly enough And I also can’t explain how amazing the opportunities I had while working there and how valuable the networks I developed have become to me.’

Communication skills are keys to success

for accountants

Sulei Gu is a graduate of the Master of

Professional Accounting and Finance

at the University of South Australia

She is now Manager of Risk and Control

Solutions at PriceWaterhouseCoopers

(PwC) in Adelaide ‘A lot of people have

the misconception that if you work for a

big four firm like PwC as an accountant,

you work behind a desk,’ she says ‘It is

actually not true You spend a lot of time

talking to the clients, serving the clients

and talking to your team, so together you

get the job done.’

As a potential employer, Sulei feels that

communication skills are key ‘During

the interview, whether you can sit down

and have a good conversation with the

interviewer is really important Your

written communication skills are too –

whether you can write a concise and

correct report Attitude is also important:

working in a place like PwC, we are looking for people who are willing to learn, willing to take on challenges and willing to go the extra mile when work asks for that We are also looking for

a general level of maturity: someone with experience – not necessary work experience – just really any experience that gives them that level of confidence, that ability to work within a team and to deal with complex situations Recently

I interviewed a group of graduates

This particular guy worked in a cinema, which is completely not relevant to accounting, but working in a cinema can

be challenging sometimes So I asked him to give me an example of a challenge situation Then he said: Last summer, on

a Saturday night, it had been a 35 degree day and the air conditioning stopped

working All the customers in the cinema were really angry, and I was the shift manager that day Being 21 years old, how

do you deal with that situation? I basically went up and explained the situation to them, and gave everyone a Choc Top All the customers were happy because they got a free ice-cream I demonstrated that

we were trying to do something to rectify the problem.’

‘I was impressed by that,’ Sulei continues

‘It has nothing to do with accounting, but it shows that he was a quick thinker, rose to the challenge, and came up with a solution That’s the kind of candidate we are looking for.’
