Our strategy

A message from our Dean, Professor James Wallman

UTS has a vision to be a leading public university of technology recognised for our global impact. The University’s commitment to, and energy for, teaching, innovating, and undertaking research that benefits society, is embodied by the Faculty of Science.

Today, our Faculty serves more than 2,500 students across our programs, and employs more than 340 staff across academic and professional roles. Our teaching and research seek to provide our students with a distinctive experience and a rich science education leading to diverse employment prospects. Our staff enjoy an inclusive, collaborative environment in which they can realise their personal and professional ambitions.

The Faculty of Science has been the home of a number of areas of research excellence, and has led many significant initiatives over the years. We have enjoyed a history of collaboration with external partners, and have been recognised nationally and internationally for outstanding performance in research and education, demonstrated by consistently high performance across rankings.

The launch of our Strategic Plan for 2024 – 2028 heralds the beginning of a new era for Science at UTS – one which seeks to deepen the excellence and impact of our research, inspire our students, position our graduates for success, foster a diverse and inclusive science community, and broaden our partnerships for impact.

This plan could not have been completed without the active and passionate contribution of colleagues from across the Faculty. I thank all those who participated so enthusiastically.

Our future vision is both powerful and inspiring, and I look forward eagerly to the years to come.
