Adelaide University is proud to be part of the Elite Sport Education Network, supporting student athletes to thrive both academically and in their sporting careers.
As an ESEN-approved university, we offer flexible study options and tailored support services to help elite athletes and performers balance their commitments. Whether you're competing nationally or internationally, we understand the demands of your schedule and work with you to find solutions that support your success.
Currently, hundreds of elite athletes and performers are studying with us across a wide range of sports and disciplines from swimming and soccer to rowing, AFL and waterskiing. Registration in the program is voluntary but encouraged, as it helps us identify students who may benefit from additional academic flexibility and support.
Registered elite athletes can access a range of benefits, including:
Flexible study arrangements
Academic support tailored to performance schedules
Access to scholarships and grants
Access to allied health support
Invitations to professional development, events and information sessions relevant to student athletes
Access to on campus facilities (eg: strength and conditioning, recovery)
We also welcome suggestions from students about areas of interest or support they’d like more information on. If you're an elite athlete or performer, we encourage you to register and explore how Adelaide University can support your journey.
