History
Established in 1897 by the Seventh-day Adventist Church, Avondale values Excellence, Spirituality, Wellbeing, Integrity and Service. These core attributes are evident in our course offerings, extra-curricular activities, staff and student initiatives and our relationship with the wider community.
Education
Avondale’s undergraduate, postgraduate and vocational courses and programs seek to develop the whole person—mental, physical, social and spiritual. Higher education include undergraduate degrees in humanities and the creative arts, business, education, nursing, science and mathematics, and ministry and theology.
Research
Research at Avondale University is designed to align closely with both our purpose – to transform lives through Christ-centred higher education – and our motto – for a greater vision of world needs.
Avondale’s strategy is to model its three specialist areas (BFoEs) of research around the three main areas of Seventh-day Adventist Church mission – teaching, preaching and healing – and our vision of what the world needs, identifying with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals where appropriate.
