Opening in 2027, Sydney Conservatorium of Music Parramatta brings world‑class contemporary music education to the heart of Western Sydney (Parramatta). Designed and built for 21st‑century music technologies - and the first of its kind in an Australian tertiary setting - it’s for students ready to experiment, collaborate, and push their musical training to new limits.
The University has been in Westmead since 1978 and has invested over $100M into the precinct, now a global centre of multidisciplinary innovation.
In December 2020, the NSW Government and the University announced a new partnership agreement known as the Cumberland Precinct Framework Deed, ensuring the University supports the Government’s early activities to progress land availability for an expanded University presence at Parramatta/Westmead.
