Official Visits
The University of Sydney is proud of its position as a leading international university and values its many relationships with top universities, government bodies, research and industry organisations. The University attracts distinguished visitors from around the world and attaches great importance to the contribution these visits make to its international program.
Official visit requests from representatives of international universities, research organisations and government bodies are coordinated within the International Office by the International Liaison Officer. The International Liaison Officer works with the Principal Officers of the University and individual Faculties and Departments to develop visit schedules which maximise opportunities to share experiences, information and ideas and develop sustainable collaborative relationships.
Intending official visitors are asked to contact the International Liaison Officer to obtain a Visit Request Form. In most cases, an official visit cannot proceed unless this form has been returned to the International Liaison Officer by fax or email at least 10 working days before the date of the prospective visit. The International Liaison Officer will then liaise within the University to match visit requests with University resources and advise the sender of the outcome of the request. Although all requests are considered carefully, the University reserves the right to decline requests and not all visits will be accepted.
