Our number of offers for this year is up by more than 1000 since 2005 - a 26% increase. This is a phenomenal rate of growth and shows that we have a serious track record when it comes to providing access to a quality higher education."

Professor McDougall says that even after making a record number of offers, the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide would continue to accept applications for places in some degree programs for 2010.
