Overview

Flinders University Academy teaches English for Academic Purposes at the Bedford Park campus. Students prepare for the demands of university study while based on the university campus. The course develops academic reading, writing, listening and communication, with training in using information from written sources in assignments. It suits applicants whose degree plans depend on improving academic English before enrolment. Start planning with the intended degree and its English requirements. The Academy can help match an intake to the destination program. The English course is an academic pathway, so students should check the grade and level they need to reach for their specific next course. The Academy offers a progression route for several English entry thresholds. Its higher EAP levels can correspond to IELTS 6.5 or 7.0, depending on the course and the result achieved. This distinction matters for applicants to degrees with higher English requirements.

Courses

The full-time course runs for five to 40 weeks, with monthly intakes and up to 18 students per class. Students receive 20 hours of face-to-face instruction weekly, split equally between reading and writing and listening and communication. An additional two to six hours of support and electives are available. Published entry requirements include age 17 or above, Australian Year 11 or equivalent, and IELTS 4.5 overall with no band below 4.0. Flinders publishes separate progression requirements for the higher EAP levels. The minimum entry score applies to the English program itself.

Fees

The Academy’s 2026 flyer lists English for Academic Purposes at AUD 515 per week, or AUD 2,575 in tuition for the minimum five weeks. The current course page separately lists AUD 540 per week for 2027, or AUD 2,700 for five weeks. Confirm the course length and rate on your offer. These tuition figures exclude accommodation, meals, insurance, flights and transfers. Five weeks is the shortest published course, so budget for at least that period. Flinders advertises a 30% tuition reduction for eligible students required to take EAP for study-gap purposes. The example uses the published full fee. Its Adelaide living-cost guide separately lists weekly reference prices of AUD 480 at University Hall and AUD 297 at Deirdre Jordan Village, plus advance charges of AUD 865 and AUD 820 respectively. These are residence guide figures. The operator must confirm whether a short booking is available and what portion of the published residence charges would apply to that booking.

Accommodation

Bedford Park has catered residential living at University Hall and more independent units at Deirdre Jordan Village. Apply through Flinders Living and confirm availability and contract dates for a short English course. University-approved homestay is another option. Flinders says students under 18 who do not live with a parent or legal guardian must use approved homestay. Adults can also compare independent accommodation and check the public transport route to Bedford Park. The University Hall accommodation program also offers social events and team sports. For a shorter stay, ask Flinders Living whether the contract can end with the English intake. The advertised annual contract follows a different calendar.
