More Scholarships at The University of Sydney

The birth of the University of Sydney in 1850 broke with the traditions of Britain's ancient universities by admitting students on academic merit rather than on the basis of religion or social class. University of Sydney was one of the first of this new breed of institution, the first university in Australia and the model that universities in other Australian colonies would soon follow.

The University is ranked 71st best university in the world in the current Times Higher Education ranking. It is also ranked 3rd best in Oceania, 40th in the world in Engineering & Technology and 25th in the world in Health Sciences.

With almost 50,000 student enrolments, 3,000+ academic staff, over 270,000 alumni worldwide students from 134 countries studying and 5.2 million items in the university library, University of Sydney is undoubtedly is a preferred choice for students to consider for their tertiary studies.
The university is unique among Australia's leading universities in the breadth of disciplines it offers, providing wide opportunities for personal development and cross-disciplinary study that delivers unique insights and breakthroughs.

The University of Sydney has a network of nine different teaching campuses spread throughout the Sydney area. The main Faculties and main Schools of the university are; Agriculture Food & Natural Resources, Architecture Design and Planning, Arts & Social Sciences, The Business School, Dentistry, Education and Social Works, Engineering & Information Technologies, Health Sciences, Sydney Law, Medical & Nursing Schools, Pharmacy, Science, Sydney College of Arts and Conservatorium of Music and Veterinary Science.

University's researchers pursue cutting-edge breakthroughs, reaching across disciplinary barriers to find unique solutions to improve and transform our lives. Studying alongside these top researchers, and in some cases contributing to their research, exposes Sydney students to excellence - and challenges them to succeed as leaders in whatever career field they choose.
