Company Profile

Company Overview

The University of Sydney is a leading, comprehensive research and teaching university. We are committed to harnessing the transformative power of education to foster greater knowledge and a better understanding of the world and its people. We are highly influential in shaping Australia’s national and international agenda, and delivering solutions to the challenges facing society. We achieve this through critical analysis, intellectual leadership and active contribution to public debate.

Our primary objective is to create and sustain a university in which, for the benefit of both Australia and the wider world, the brightest researchers and the most promising students, whatever their social or cultural background, can thrive and realise their full potential. This central purpose underpins our strategic goals. It challenges us to develop and support a community of scholars, where interdisciplinary research can flourish and where the student experience is enriched.

The University of Sydney is recognised as one of the best universities in the world, with a breadth and depth of disciplinary excellent unequalled by any other Australian university. Located close to the heart of Australia’s largest and most international city, our Camperdown/Darlington Campus features a mixture of iconic Gothic-revival buildings and state of-the-art teaching, research and student support facilities. The University also has an extensive footprint throughout Sydney. Some faculties are based in Camperdown/ Darlington but have facilities elsewhere. For example, Veterinary Science and Agriculture & Environment have farms and research units at the Camden Campus, while the Faculty of Medicine and Health has clinical schools in hospitals across the city and in rural NSW with very close cooperative links and affiliations with a range of independent medical research institutes. Our researchers and students have access to excellent library resources. These will soon be enhanced by a range of new technology-enabled learning environments, thanks to a project currently underway on the Camperdown / Darlington Campus.

Our research, all of which is ranked at world standard or above (ERA 2015), is driven by the big picture and aims to solve the most important problems and the most exciting new challenges facing society. The University of Sydney invests in research excellence. Initiatives that contribute to outstanding research outcomes are key to our University strategy and are being supported by an unprecedented investment in our research activities.
