Places of interest

The University of Sydney was the first university to be established in Australia. Our campuses reflect this history in their architecture and physical environments, which are full of historical and cultural interest.

The central campus, on a hill overlooking Sydney’s business centre, has been transformed by the recent completion of state-of-the-art teaching, research and student support facilities that complement the original 1850s heritage buildings.

Throughout our distinguished history, these campuses have housed generations of researchers who have pursued cutting-edge breakthroughs for the benefit of all.
