Flinders University is an Australian university that appeared in 1966 and became the second university in South Australia. Initially, it was conceived as the second branch of the University of Adelaide: for its construction in 1960, land was allocated on the territory of Bedford Park. However, in 1965, it was finally decided that this campus would become a separate Flinders University.

More than half a century has passed since the founding of Flinders University, and during this time the institution has achieved success in various types of activities: conducting innovative research, providing quality training and involving the community in its life activities.
