Below is the full transcript of Professor Gallagher’s message: “Hello, my name is Professor Jessica Gallagher, Deputy Vice Chancellor, International and External Engagement at Adelaide University. For more than two decades, Kaplan Higher Education and the University of Adelaide have built a trusted and enduring partnership, and I'm delighted that this collaboration will continue at the new Adelaide University. Together, we will launch bright futures through shared values and a commitment to student success. Through pathways with purpose, the current University of Adelaide College plays a vital role in preparing international students for the academic rigor and mindset needed for a Group of Eight university. College students consistently demonstrate strong performance, high progression rates, and meaningful contributions to campus life. The pathway programs ensure students are well prepared for university and ready to thrive in their studies. Students from the College are fully integrated into the university experience and contribute significantly to the diversity and global outlook of our community. Many go on to become high-achieving alumni, leaders in their fields, and ambassadors for the university brand. Through this powerful partnership with Kaplan Higher Education, Adelaide University will continue to offer high-quality academic programs and an exceptional student experience, while expanding access and equity for international students. Our partnership reflects our vision of a truly global university, welcoming bright minds from around the world to the beautiful state of South Australia, a leading destination for next-generation education and research. Together, we have an opportunity to shape what’s next. We hope that you will make Adelaide University home.” Professor Gallagher’s message reinforces the close partnership between Kaplan and Adelaide University underpinned by our shared dedication to the success of our students. We’ll unveil the new brand in the coming weeks (please mark your calendar for late August). In the meantime, here’s what remains unchanged: Full university access from day one – including AU student ID, access to AU facilities, teaching staff, AU-aligned academic and pastoral care support, and systems, to name just a few.
This isn’t just a rebrand – it’s a strategic alignment between Kaplan and Adelaide University. One that combines Kaplan’s 87-years of global innovation with more than two decades of local leadership to deliver a future-ready pathway experience. As we prepare for the transition, please know: your students’ success remains our top priority. For any support, please feel free to contact: We can’t wait to share what’s next – and continue building success together. |
