About Carnegie Mellon University - Australia
The Adelaide campus, Carnegie Mellon University – Australia (CMU-A), was established in 2006 following the South Australian Government’s invitation to CMU to open a campus in Adelaide at the International University Precinct. The precinct is situated in the heritage-listed Torrens Building at Victoria Square in the heart of Adelaide’s central business district. Carnegie Mellon University was the first international university to establish in Australia, and is now collated with University College London, The Australian Centre for Social Innovation and the Torrens Resilience Institute.
Carnegie Mellon University – Australia is truly global, with students, faculty and staff representing more than 25 countries throughout the Asia-Pacific, USA, Europe, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East, creating wide-reaching networks of contemporaries, global experts and alumni.
The university offers two internationally-ranked master degree programs:
- Master of Science in Public Policy and Management (MSIT)
- Master of Science in Information Technology (MSPPM)
CMU-A boasts one of the most qualified faculties in the world with extensive careers in teaching, basic and applied research, and organisational management. Classes are taught via core on-site faculty and faculty rotation from Pittsburgh and Washington, DC to Adelaide, as well as using sophisticated video conferencing facilities. Controlled student-to-faculty ratios ensure our award-winning faculty provide students with personalised attention to meet their individual needs.
The university also runs a FUTURESPEAK Leadership Speaker Series, an Advanced Education Program and courses from the Asia-Pacific base of the Software Engineering Institute.
