Flinders' Tonsley Campus

Job/Mentor 30-Jun-2023

It’s a place where collaboration and entrepreneurial spirit combine to create the products and processes of the 21st century.

With more than 150 staff, 2,000 students – and a 2,000 square metre pod for heavy engineering equipment – Tonsley centrally locates the University’s teaching and research in computer science, engineering and mathematics.

Tonsley is located centrally between Flinders Bedford Park campus and Adelaide city. Tonsley is a five-minute car ride, a 15-minute ride on the Flinders loop bus, or a 30-minute walk from the Bedford Park campus.

From 2020, an $85 million extension of the Tonsley rail line will link Flinders’ Bedford Park and Tonsley campuses by rail, and allow Flinders’ students to access the CBD by train in less than 20 minutes.

Flinders at Tonsley has strong connections to industry. The centre is also home to local and international businesses, including industrial manufacturing company Siemens.

Flinders Partners, the Medical Device Research Institute, and Flinders Centre for Nanoscale Science and Technology are also located at Tonsley.
