Education for all, leadership for good
The University of Sydney has been challenging traditions for over 170 years as Australia’s first University. Progressive thinking, breaking with convention, challenging the status quo, and improving the world around us is in our DNA. We make lives better by producing leaders of society and equipping our people with leadership qualities so they can serve our communities at every level.
How we’re contributing to a more sustainable future
The University is addressing some of the world’s most complex issues by putting sustainability at the heart of our campus operations, environments, and engagement activities. We placed seventh globally and first in Australia in the second edition of the QS World University Rankings: Sustainability 2024.

The Strategy aims to deliver solutions to the interconnected problems facing our shared future by:
- Enriching lives through research and education
