National and international recognition

The Faculty of Health is a dynamic and growing faculty delivering outstanding results. We are recognised both nationally and internationally for the excellence in our teaching and the quality and impact of our research.

In the latest ERA research exercise, (2018) we rated at world standard and above in Nursing and Midwifery and Human Movement and Sport Science (ERA 5s), Public Health and Health Services, Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Pharmacology and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Clinical Sciences, and Psychology and Cognitive Sciences (ERA 4s).

Our vision

Our vision in the Faculty of Health is to transform health and well-being at both a local and global level through our world class teaching and research. We will do this by being committed to excellence in five key strategic pillars of activity: People and Culture; Excellence in Teaching and Learning; World Class Research; Strengthening our Indigenous Profile; and Engagement and Partnerships. These pillars will be underpinned by three principles that inform all that we do: International reach, Workplace Health and Safety; and Equity and Diversity.

With already strong existing programs of teaching and research spanning across UTS, government, industry and consumer groups, we have an ambitious strategic focus to position the Faculty of Health as a national and international leader in health education and research.

I invite you to explore the Faculty of Health Strategic Plan 2022 – 2024.
