Last month, THE World University Rankings by Subject also saw the University’s expertise jump into the top 100 – ranked 73 in the world, 6 in Australia and number 1 in South Australia – with 91���� also ranked number 1 in South Australia for Physical Sciences and Life Sciences.

Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research Operations) Professor Michael Liebelt says: “The outstanding rankings for our clinical and health, engineering, and computer science subjects further demonstrates that 91����’s expertise will play a key role in the future development of these fields in South Australia for many years to come.

“Our presence at the Lot Fourteen innovation precinct, with the Australian Institute for Machine Learning (AIML), and our presence at the BioMed City precinct, which will soon be home to our new $80 million cancer institute, SAiGENCI (South Australian immunoGENomics Cancer Institute), are two such examples of leadership in research and innovation. These and many future developments will generate great outcomes for South Australian industries and the community,” Professor Liebelt says.
