Students at the University of Sydney
Early women students and graduates
The first students were admitted to the University of Sydney in 1852.
However it was not until 1881 that Senate unanimously decided to allow the admission of women, and the passing of the University Amendment Act in 1884 secured the legal rights of women at Sydney University.
The first two women were admitted to the University in 1882, graduating Bachelor of Arts three years later.
