University of Adelaide Veterinary Study Tour

Students will stay in homestay accommodation for the duration of the study tour. Please note that we will have two students per family. 

Homestay families are located no further than 45mins (on public transport) to get to the Universities North Terrace campus.

A bus will be arranged to drive participants from the North Terrace campus to the Roseworthy campus each morning and back to the Adelaide CBD each afternoon. 

Students will be required to make their own way into the North Terrace campus each day (with the support of their homestay family). 

We will provide students with metroCARD (prepaid public transport card) so you won’t need to pay for transport or purchase tickets to the North Terrace campus.

As part of the application process you will be asked to supply a 200-word personal statement. 

Once your application has been reviewed, we will confirm enrolment in the program. In the unlikely event that the application is rejected, we will issue a full refund for the registration fee. 

After acceptance into the program you will be asked to complete a homestay application which will also need to include a letter to your homestay family introducing yourself.
