Our aspirations
When people speak about the University of Sydney in 2032, what will they say? What will we be known for?
Our commitment to our shared mission drives a strong sense of unity across the University: we work together to bring our energy and focus to the value our work can provide for the world.
When people speak about the University of Sydney in 10 years’ time, we want it to be about the extraordinary power our world-class research and teaching has to transform people’s lives, and for the pride it generates throughout our city, our state and our nation.
Our commitment to our shared mission drives a strong sense of unity across the University: we work together to bring our energy and focus to the value our work can provide for the world.
We will be the best Australian university for teaching and learning. Our students will attest to the transformational impact a Sydney education has on their lives, whenever and wherever they learn.
Social equity is at the heart of our past and our future. By 2032 our community will be more diverse and inclusive, helping us all to shape a positive future.
By 2032, our diverse and inclusive academic community will be renowned globally for discovering new knowledge and delivering solutions that benefit us all.
To meet our aspirations to stand among the world’s great universities for research and education, we must lay the strongest foundation that enables our people to thrive and excel.
We want all our people to feel connected to the University as a place where they can be successful and that values their contributions, whether they are on campus in Sydney, at one of our sites across New South Wales, or working or studying online. We want them to value collective success as the best way to achieve their individual ambitions.
By 2032, we will attract the best people and enable them to flourish. Our shared ambitions mean the very best research and education happens on all our campuses, through our international connections, and in increasingly digital domains.
To deliver on our ambitious goals for education and research, we need strong and trusted relationships across all parts of the University.
By 2032, we will have cut the complexity of our organisation, so that our policies, processes, systems and services support us well. The effectiveness – and excellence – of our research, teaching, learning and the student experience will be front of mind.
The most complex problems require partnership to deliver solutions. By 2032, we will be consistently great partners, and people will seek us out as a partner of choice in our local, national and international communities.
