UTS – Sydney’s city university

Study in the heart of a world-class city. Sydney is the 7th best student city (QS) and the 4th most liveable city (Economist Intelligence Unit) in the world. A bustling metropolis on the stunning east coast of Australia, Sydney is a proudly multicultural city where almost half of the residents were born overseas and over one-third speak a language other than English at home.

Our campus is right next to Central Station, so hop on a train or bus to get anywhere in Sydney – and beyond. Sydney City has a vibrant creative scene, where you can visit galleries, museums and live music venues like the iconic Sydney Opera House. Take a bus to beautiful Bondi Beach – or get out of the city entirely for a hike in the Blue Mountains.

Join an inspired and international community

Our diverse community is an important part of our identity, and we are committed to maintaining a safe and welcoming environment for all our students. Create the future you with UTS today.
