University of Sydney: Renowned for excellent learning opportunities

Founded in 1850, the University of Sydney is today one of the world's top 40 universities*.
We are engaged in active academic and exchange partnerships with top-ranked institutions around the world. In 2009 the National Union of Students again rated us 'Best in Australia' for student support.
More than 47,000 students, including over 10,400 international students from more than 120 different countries, currently study at the University of Sydney.

When you join the University of Sydney, you will become part of a community that is committed to maximising the potential of everyone who comes here. Students and researchers from around the world have chosen Sydney to prepare for a life of challenge and change.

Dr. Patricia Weerakoon

The diversity of our students and staff is matched by the wide range of courses we offer - we stand out among Australia's leading universities in the breadth of subjects you can study here. Our award-winning researchers are leaders in addressing issues that impact on everyone. They reach across disciplinary barriers to find solutions to improve and transform all our lives.

Your personal development is at the heart of the Sydney student experience. We will challenge you to absorb and transform knowledge into your own insights and ways of thinking. You can also become intimately involved in university life, joining social clubs, competing with our world-class student debaters and having a strong voice in University decision-making. This involvement sets us apart from our Australian peers and generates a special on-campus atmosphere.

When you leave, you'll have developed the skills to become a leader in whatever field you choose. Our former students include Australian Prime Ministers, Nobel laureates, Oscar winners, business leaders and medical pioneers, who have all benefited from our determination to develop curious minds that embrace challenges, and seek knowledge, reveal new perspectives and devise solutions.

Dr. Patricia Weerakoon, Coordinator of the Graduate Programme in Sexual Health at the University of Sydney.

'I am an alumnus of the Medical Faculty of Colombo University. I have spent my entire academic life working in the University of Colombo and University of Sydney.

I am truly impressed and thrilled at the relevance of the programmes offered by University of Sydney to Sri Lanka and the nurturing and total student experience offered to all international students. I would unreservedly encourage students from Sri Lanka to join the community of learners in the University of Sydney'.
