About Company

We’ve been challenging traditions for more than 160 years We make lives better by producing leaders of society and equipping our people with leadership qualities so they can serve our communities at every level. Since our inception, we have believed in education for all and leadership that makes lives better. The same values continue to inform our policy of inclusion and underpin our long-term strategy for growth. Our strategy is simple: to create a place where the best researchers and most promising students can achieve their full potential.

No matter what course you’re studying, what faculty you work for, or how you’re involved with the University, our strategy is relevant to you. The University's strategic plan is more than a high-level document for our governing bodies and senior management. It is the roadmap to achieving our shared vision. Our vision is unashamedly aspirational, aiming to position the University of Sydney as the best university in Australia and a leading institution globally. We get behind a range of activities to ensure everyone is accepted and has equal opportunities when it comes to education and employment in our university.

Being inclusive is embedded in our culture, but we know it has no meaning unless we do as we say. That’s why we run programs and initiatives that demonstrate how we live our values. We believe everyone should have the opportunity to enter higher education, for instance, so we visit primary and high schools across NSW to make sure students from underrepresented groups know why going to university is important and what pathways are available to them.
