Official visits

Request an official visit to the University

The University attracts distinguished visitors from around the world who make an important contribution to our culture.

We encourage representatives of international universities, research organisations and government bodies to request an official visit to the University of Sydney.

We can develop an official visit schedule to help you share experiences, information and ideas with our community, and to develop sustainable collaborative relationships.

Making an official visit request

Please fill out our online official visit request form. In most cases, an official visit cannot proceed unless this form has been returned to the coordinator by fax or email at least one month before you plan to visit.

The coordinator will then attempt to match visit requests with University resources and advise you of the outcome of the request.
