Vice-Chancellor’s welcome

Congratulations on your offer and a very warm welcome to UTS.

We are a dynamic and cosmopolitan university at the heart of Sydney — Australia's economic, multicultural, innovative and creative global city.

With an innovative learning and teaching model, vibrant research culture, strong engagement with industry and an unwavering commitment to social justice, UTS is a leading university of technology recognised for delivering global impact.

We are and always will be an inclusive university. The diversity of our staff, students and partners is what sets us apart and has created the vibrant and rich learning environment that makes UTS a great place to work and study.

As the world and future of work changes, UTS is transforming the way we deliver education. Rather than simply preparing our students to enter the workforce, we’re building upon excellence in learning and teaching, research with impact and close links to industry, to support people throughout a lifetime of learning.

Our physical campus is also changing to complement UTS’s innovative and forward-thinking approach to education. We are creating new spaces and facilities to help inspire you and enable you to get the best out of your studies.

University is about much more than what you learn in the classroom, so I encourage you to get involved and make the most of UTS life and all the additional opportunities the University offers.

Good luck with your studies and welcome to the UTS community.

Professor Andrew Parfitt
Vice-Chancellor and President
