Introduction to the University of Technology Sydney
www.uts.edu.au

The University of Technology, Sydney (UTS) is a multi-campus university spread over three locations in the Sydney metropolitan area. With a total enrolment of approximately 27,000 students, UTS is one of the largest universities in Australia.

UTS was originally established as the New South Wales Institute of Technology in 1965. In 1988 it attained university status and was joined by the School of Design of the Sydney College of the Arts. The present University resulted from amalgamations brought about by the restructuring of the higher education sector in the late 1980s, and in January 1990 the Kuring-gai College of Advanced Education, the Institute of Technical and Adult Teacher Education of the Sydney College of Advanced Education and the 'old' UTS formed the new University of Technology, Sydney.

UTS places a strong emphasis on workplace experience and develops and regularly revises its programs of study in partnership with industry, government and professional bodies. It has one of the highest rates of employment for graduates in New South Wales.

The University is fully committed to internationalisation in all aspects of its operations and encourages students to gain international exposure and experience as part of their degree. UTS welcomes students from overseas and currently has international students from over 70 countries in all faculties and on all campuses.
