The Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA) is a unique military institution that combines military education and training with academic study for an undergraduate degree through the University of New South Wales. Approximately 1000 Army and Air Force officer cadets and Navy midshipmen are currently enrolled in the three-year training program at ADFA. They come from around Australia and from 16 other Defence Forces around the world.
Cadets at ADFA begin a career in the ADF, receiving a full-time salary while they undertake a program of military and leadership training. At the same time, they study an undergraduate program through UNSW, fully paid for by the Australian Defence Force and are guaranteed a full-time job upon graduation.
There are also approx. 1500 postgraduate students studying at ADFA.
