Torrens University is a private university and is part of the Laureate International Universities Network. President Bill Clinton endorsed the new university and said “The Opportunity to study at the same university across different countries is increasingly important in our ever more connected world. I look forward to visiting the new Laureate campus in Adelaide.”

Torrens is a new kind of university, plugged into a world wide network of over a million students in 25 countries. Unlike more traditional universities tied to monolithic campuses hosting large classes, Torrens is agile and adaptable, with small classes and close connection with lecturers.
