UTS has a singular vision, expressed in our strategic plan - to be a world-leading university of technology. To achieve this, our leadership in learning and teaching must be coupled with international renown in research, and a world-class infrastructure that supports our vibrant intellectual environment. The achievement of our vision relies on attracting high quality students, academics, researchers and administrators; people who are passionate about knowledge, learning, discovery and creativity.

We will continue to build on our enviable reputation for a fusion of innovation, creativity and technology; precisely the characteristics that make us and our graduates sought after by global industry. Recent market research confirms that NSW leaders in business, the professions and government believe we have the most industry-focused approach of all Sydney metropolitan universities.
