Results from the Australian Government’s 2015 Excellence in Research Australia (ERA) confirm that UTS is well on the way to achieve its vision of becoming a world-leading university of technology.

UTS Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research), Professor Glenn Wightwick, says that the results demonstrate an increase in the quality of research at UTS, with 67 per cent of our research at the two-digit (discipline) level classified ‘above world standard’ or ‘well above world standard’, which is up from 28 per cent in the 2012 assessment.
