University of Technology Sydney

UTS is a dynamic and cosmopolitan university that marks the gateway to Sydney - Australia's economic, multicultural and creative global city. In 2008 they celebrated twenty years as a university, and UTS has great plans for our third decade.

UTS has a singular vision, expressed in its strategic plan - to be a world-leading university of technology. To achieve this, their leadership in learning and teaching must be coupled with international renown in research, and a world-class infrastructure that supports our vibrant intellectual environment. The achievement of its vision relies on attracting high quality students, academics, researchers and administrators; people who are passionate about knowledge, learning, discovery and creativity.

UTS will continue to build on its enviable reputation for a fusion of innovation, creativity and technology; precisely the characteristics that make us and our graduates sought after by global industry. Recent market research confirms that NSW leaders in business, the professions and government believe they have the most industry-focused approach of all Sydney metropolitan universities.

UTS excels in many academic and professional areas. It has a friendly, collaborative and equitable culture, and a strong commitment to its local and global communities.

The development of UTS's distinctive identity can be traced through its history, and a timeline of major events.
