Welcome

Dean of Engineering and Information Technologies, Professor Archie Johnston

Welcome to the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technologies at the University of Sydney.

As one of the top 50 engineering and technology universities in the world, our graduates have the ability to lead and shape the future. Studying with us, you’ll develop your skills of analysis and invention so you can effectively design, create and build structures, systems and products that matter.

The outstanding calibre of our academic staff means we consistently rank among the top one percent of research universities in the world. As a student, you'll be taught by some of these leading researchers, and in some cases you'll have the chance to contribute to their work.

The extracurricular activities you’ll enjoy, together with the opportunities for internships, international exchange and to work on industry-sponsored projects, offer you the kinds of different experiences that employers really value.

You might spend part of your degree overseas, or you might choose to work with local communities, or even become a student mentor, tutor or ambassador. We have over ten different student clubs and societies and even a Formula Society of Automotive Engineers team who design, construct and race a small racing car each year. Students with outstanding academic ability can also join the Advanced Engineering and Talented IT programs.

Whichever way you choose to get involved, you'll be doing it alongside a passionate group of students who are all interested in making a genuine difference within our own community and beyond.

I hope you enjoy your educational journey with us, a faculty that inspires, challenges and supports tomorrow’s leaders.
