Find a study centre or community space near you 

Equipped with all your study needs, Adelaide University’s First Nations study centres and community spaces are set up to provide a culturally safe and calm environment to aid your learning process. All centres provide access to computers and free printing. 

Wirringka Study Centres are located at most Adelaide University campuses, and feature dedicated kitchen facilities. The kitchens are well stocked with a variety of free meals and snacks, and provide a space to relax and enjoy a meal while in the company of other students. Swipe card access is required for the Wirringka Study Centres and kitchens. 

Roseworthy and Waite campuses don’t currently have a dedicated First Nations study centre, but a visiting service will be available to support First Nations students studying at these locations.
