Adelaide, Australia
A private, industry-facing university built for career-ready degrees in business, hospitality, design and health across four cities.
Torrens University Australia is a private university of roughly 19,000 students, headquartered in Adelaide with further campuses in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, part of Torrens Global Education. It positions itself less as a research-prestige brand and more as a flexible, applied teaching university, with signature strengths in business and project management, hospitality and tourism, studio-linked design, and selected health and technology programmes. Teaching leans on industry briefs, studio critiques and workplace-style assessment rather than pure theory, and undergraduate English requirements — often around IELTS 6.0 — are more accessible than many public universities. Course availability is campus-specific, so families need to lock the course and city together before applying.

Informational only — scholarship amounts, deadlines and even which schemes are running change often (sometimes per intake), so treat this as a starting point, not a guarantee. Always confirm current details directly with the scholarship provider or Torrens's financial aid office.
Most Group of Eight and other Australian universities offer international merit scholarships as a tuition-fee reduction for strong academic results, generally requiring a linked application alongside (or shortly after) your course application.
Scholarship percentages and slots vary significantly by university and course — check the specific university's international scholarships page, not just the government schemes.
