About the University of Sydney
When you study at The University of Sydney 
you become a member of one of the richest academic communities in Australia and the world. The University of Sydney is respected for its excellence in teaching and research, and loved for its vibrant student life.
Both inside and outside the classroom, the University offers an educational experience that cannot be matched by any other university in Australia. Its humanities teaching and research was ranked fifth best in the world in the UK’s Times Higher Education Supplement (THES) World University Rankings published in October 2006, while the University as a whole was ranked 35th in the world in the same league table. In the Newsweek global 100 for 2006, the University of Sydney was one of two Australian universities placed in the top 50 in the world.
The University of Sydney has produced an array of successful Australians from High Court judge Justice Michael Kirby to Prime Minister John Howard to basket ball player Belinda Snell to 400m relay runner Clinton Hill. While we are immensely proud of our many high profile graduates, our real achievement is the thousands of Australians who have graduated from the University of Sydney with an experience, and memories, rich not only in academic endeavour but also in sport, leadership, friendship, and one of the greatest social lives a university has to offer.
The University of Sydney is a key member of the Group of Eight Australian major research-intensive universities, and of three international consortia: the Association of Pacific Rim Universities, Academic Consortium 21 and the Worldwide Universities Network.
