Our aim is to make lives better not just by producing leaders of society, but by equipping our people with leadership qualities so they can serve all of our communities at every level. As a leader in tertiary education, we have been challenging traditions for more than 160 years. We were one of the first universities in the world to admit students solely on academic merit and to open our doors to women on the same basis as men. In creating the first university in Australia in 1850, our founders recognized the power of education to change society. We hold that belief just as strongly today. The NSW Space Research Network (SRN) has announced funding for seven projects through its Research Pilot Program👏 "I think this is a great question for non-Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people […] How are you reflecting on complicity & privilege, amplifying Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander voices & being an ally through actions?"

"It’s important that the goodwill we see around #NAIDOCWeek is reflected throughout the entire year and that the onus is on non-Indigenous Australians to ‘get up, stand up, show up’ in solidarity." 💬 Wiradjuri and Wailwan woman @teelareid, @SydneyLawSchool We work in collaboration with Australian and international partners to find solutions to some of the world’s most complex problems. As a central part of its international strategy, the University is committed to fostering partnerships with other leading institutions and promoting mobility of students and staff.

These include more than 60 research collaborations and networks with partners in Asia and India. We also have more than 280 student exchange partners in Asia, Canada, Israel, Scandinavia, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Western Europe. In 2014, we signed a new partnership agreement with one of Europe’s leading humanities institutions, Sciences Po, which allows students to split four years of study between one of three Sciences Po campuses and Sydney. 90+ 500+ Our research strategy is to nurture disciplinary excellence while enabling delivery of solutions to real‑world 21st-century problems. Our research community includes more than 1300 research staff and almost 5000 research students. We are home to 75 research centres and three National Health and Medical Research Council Centres of Excellence, and a member of 10 Cooperative Research Centres.

Our research is driven by the big picture. We take a problem and look at it from all angles by bringing together the world’s most talented researchers in multidisciplinary teams. We have committed substantial support and large‑scale investment to help them explore new frontiers of knowledge in areas of national and global importance. The work undertaken by a few of our multidisciplinary centres illustrates the potential of this approach. The Charles Perkins Centre is tackling some of the greatest health challenges humanity has ever faced: obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and related conditions. The centre brings together outstanding minds to improve our understanding of the impact of diverse factors on these conditions, including psychological makeup, education, cultural norms, economic pressures, the built environment, and the agricultural and food industries. The Brain and Mind Research Institute brings together patients, support groups and frontline carers with scientists and clinicians.
