There are 30 of you receiving degrees today, and another 33 at other ceremonies this week - a total of 63 this year - 4% of the degrees awarded this year.

Other employees engaged in similar activities and many made short visits to the area on their way abroad on study leave in the Northern Hemisphere. This is equivalent to a university the size of the University of Malaya, or two universities the size of Singapore or Hong Kong, and it is provided by the Australian taxpayer. It is true that some students (around a quarter) have tuition fees paid, but course fees represent only a fraction (around 16%) of the cost of securing a place at university.
Medical and technical students are more expensive due to the length of their studies. Tuition and other fees for a medical course at this university is about $2,500 over 6 years - about 8% of the cost.

Those of you who have been able to complete your entire university education are therefore a privileged group. Some of you have been here a long time, having attended school for a year or two before going to university, and I hope you have enjoyed your stay in Australia and your experience of the Australian way of life. Some of you, I am sure, will return, some to do post-doctoral work, some to establish yourself as citizens.
While this migration of skilled and educated people is of undoubted value to Australia, it could represent a serious loss to their homeland. One of the reasons why highly qualified people seek to return to this country is that in many cases, after training here, they have returned to their own countries to find that industrial and economic development has not kept pace with their qualifications. discover that there are no jobs available to them in their field, or that the jobs offered to them do not require the sophistication and specialization of their skills. To some extent, therefore, we, in this country, may be to blame if we indiscriminately offer training to foreign students, without considering whether the training will be suitable to the needs of their country.
It is very important for Australia to maintain close educational links with its neighboring peoples and new and effective ways of achieving this must be sought which will not harm the vocational needs of the countries concerned. Much will be expected of you overseas and of Australian graduates from the communities in which you will live and work.

We report that we have duly audited the above statement relating to the income and expenditure of the separate accounts of the University of Adelaide relating to Adelaide, 3 May 1971. A graduate of another university admitted to a degree at the University of Adelaide his stay is calculated from the date of graduation at this other university. According to him, the Senate consists of all the graduates of the University; all persons in the full-time employment of the University who are graduates of other Universities recognized by the University or who have attained at other institutions of higher education qualifications considered by the University to be of an equivalent status to that of a university degree; and all postgraduate students.
