Eynesbury is a specialist, pre-university college, offering Foundation Studies, Diploma and English Language Intensive Courses for Overseas Students (ELICOS) programs. We offer one of the most comprehensive range of pathway programs in South Australia, which provide maximum flexibility to assist students to gain entry to their chosen degree program.
As a leading pathway provider for more than 30 years, we have successfully prepared thousands of students for university in Australia. Our specialist approach combines small class sizes, experienced teachers and close academic guidance to support students in academic preparation for university.
What can I expect from classes?
Students can expect classroom teaching for approximately 4 hours per course per week. This is usually taught as one 2 hour lecture and one 2 hour tutorial. Students’ study load is usually four courses per trimester, but 3 courses can still be considered full time for student visa purposes.
At Eynesbury, we maintain very small class sizes, which gives students a real opportunity to be involved, ask questions and be interactive in class. Small class sizes also allow us to focus on practical teaching, group work and class discussions.
Outside of the classrooms, teachers’ timetables are available on their office door for students to drop in, make an appointment or seek extra assistance. Our teaching staff, who are specialists in their field, get to know each individual student, and are available for academic support outside of the classroom.
Will I be studying online or on campus?
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Eynesbury programs are delivered through a variety of modes, not excluding online studies. If at any point, the South Australian Government restrictions don’t allow us to continue teaching our on-campus classes, these will temporarily be shifted online. We will keep you informed via email if there are any changes.

What is Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) and do I need it?
OSHC is health insurance to assist international students (and their dependents, such as spouses and children under 18 years old) to afford the costs of unplanned medical and hospital care while they study in Australia. It is a requirement by the Department of Home Affairs that you must have OSHC and that you maintain this throughout your studies in Australia.
OSHC covers you for visits to the doctor, some hospital treatments, ambulance cover and limited pharmaceuticals (medicines). Read more about OSHC, or visit the Department of Home Affairs’ website or privatehealth.gov.au for more info.
If you are unsure if you need OSHC, please contact eynesbury.admissions@navitas.com. If you have questions about how to claim, or how to find a healthcare provider, please contact studentservices@eynesbury.sa.edu.au who can provide guidance.
