Our teachers
"The campus is a place of debate and ideas, supporting a great diversity of views from faculties and the student body." Dr Peter Chen (lecturer), School of Social and Political Sciences
We attract some of the best academics in the world: people whose passion and brilliance pushes them to the forefront of their field. That’s why they make great teachers.
During your time here you’ll have a unique opportunity to learn from world-class teachers and researchers, people who not only pass on knowledge but also create knowledge.
Sydney’s academics are improving lives wherever you look. Our scientists are developing cleaner fuels and more sustainable agriculture practices. Our engineers are pioneering innovative ways to use robotics that will improve human safety. Our health practitioners are fighting chronic diseases such as cancer and diabetes, while our lawyers are helping to shape public policy to support those in need. And that’s just a tiny fraction of what we’re currently working on.
The outstanding calibre of our academic staff means we consistently rank among the top one percent of research universities in the world.
Major funding bodies and donors also recognise our research strengths, entrusting us with millions of dollars each year to pursue breakthroughs that will improve and transform our world.
