Australia's number 1 young uni

UTS is Australia's number one young university, and we're taking great strides towards our vision of becoming a world-leading university of technology.

Today, we’re the the highest performing university in Australia under 50 years old according to both the THE Top 200 under 50 2017, and the QS Top 50 Under 50 — which also ranks us number eight in the world. We’re also in the top 200 of the QS World University Rankings for 2018, and the top 250 of the THE World University Rankings.

We received five stars in the QS Stars Ratings (2015-17) for excellence across all eight categories (research, employability, teaching, facilities, internationalisation, innovation, specialist criteria, inclusiveness).

We've been recognised as a world leader in innovative teaching and learning practices, winning the Hybrid Learning Innovation category of the 2015 Wharton-QS Stars Reimagine Education Awards in Philadelphia for our learning.futures initiative. Through learning.futures, our university-wide commitment to blended learning, we’re delivering a personalised approach to learning that’s transforming the student experience.

Ninety-four per cent of our research has been benchmarked at world standard or above in the Australian Government’s latest Excellence in Research for Australia evaluation (2015). In fact, sixty-seven per cent of our research is rated ‘above world standard’ (ERA ranking 4) or ‘well above world standard’ (ERA ranking 5).
