Teaching & learning

Ensuring that we educate and train the next generation is important not just to our University, but to our national livelihood. The University of Sydney aims to produce flexible and creative thinkers - not simply graduates ready for today’s workplace. With three Nobel Laureates and five Prime Ministers having graduated from the University, we believe we have been successful in this pursuit.

Social inclusion

Through outreach initiatives such as the Compass program, the University strives to inspire primary and secondary school children to pursue higher education. In order to remove barriers that would impede prospective scholars in this pursuit, we offer extensive financial, learning and personal support, with the ultimate goal of ensuring disadvantaged students with outstanding potential have access to a top quality education.
