Overview

As a key member of the Australian Technology Network, a prestigious coalition of five leading Australian universities, the University of Technology, Sydney offers contemporary and innovative education in the centre of Australia’s most exciting city, Sydney.

In 2008, UTS is rated top for Learning and Teaching by the Australian Government (Australian Commonwealth Government Learning and Teaching Performance Fund 2008).

UTS is located in central Sydney, adjacent to the city’s vibrant commercial and cultural hub and surrounded by the cosmopolitan districts of Darling Harbor and Chinatown. A network of creative inner city villages is a short walk away. An underground walkway connects UTS to Sydney’s Central Railway station providing students with direct access to the city’s beaches and outer suburbs through Sydney’s public transport network.
