Vision - "ambition inspired by achievement"

The University's vision is to become a top ranked internationalised university producing world recognised research outcomes and graduates. In order to achieve this, our international activities will become integral to all other activities especially research and innovation, learning and teaching, the student experience, community engagement and outreach.

• clear leadership as Australia's premier university
• acknowledgement and ranking as one of the top five universities in the region, and
• recognition and ranking in the top 40 universities around the world

Building on its position as Australia's premier university and leader in Australian higher education, the University will work more closely and effectively through our existing global networks and alliances.

Our performance in all areas will be devoted to continuous improvement, benchmarked against the best universities and organisations in the world. Our ambition is to enhance our performance in all areas of endeavour and ensure that, by any measure, the outstanding quality of the University of Sydney is recognised internationally.
