Discover Design at Sydney's #1 Design School

Design matters. That’s because it’s at the heart of contemporary culture and everyday lives, from the way we work through to the smart and sustainable use of technology. We know this. It’s why the UTS School of Design is now ranked number one in Sydney and top 50 in the world (QS Rankings 2024).

Welcome to world of design practice

Some people might think of design as making pretty objects. Nothing could be further from the truth. Good design strives to meet real societal needs. Good design is about innovation, human-centred approaches and intellectual inquiry. Designers work across disciplines and industries. Design can make a difference to the world’s most vulnerable communities. Design is driven by technology and technology drives design. Design is about making creativity the centre of your career.
