University Of Sydney

Our scholars and students share a passionate commitment to the transformative power of education. Our research makes a real difference to our understanding of today's world and how we work and live in it, and we enrich our community by bringing together people from all social and cultural backgrounds. The University of Sydney is a place that makes things happen. We are a community not just of excellence, but of impact. Here are just some of the remarkable things that our academics, students and alumni achieved in 2012. Through our Strategic Plan 2011–15 we aim to strengthen our ability to enable the brightest researchers and the most promising students, whatever their social or cultural background, to thrive and realise their full potential to benefit both Australia and the wider world.
 Watch our video about our researchers and how their collaborative work is delivering real-world solutions that will contribute to the communities we serve. They are improving health, supporting the environment, providing new opportunities and changing our understanding of culture, economics and politics. This is work not just of excellence, but of impact.
 The Charles Perkins Centre aims to address the pressing problems of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease: the leading causes of mortality and disease burden in Australia.
 A unique collaboration across all of our faculties, centre members aim to turn their academic discoveries into solutions that transform how people around the world eat, live and work.
 Our academic and teaching excellence has always been founded on principles of diversity and equity. Diversity makes good ideas better and enriches our University community.
