University of Technology Sydney is the top-ranked young university in Australia. Its objective is to be a leading public university of technology recognized for our global impact. UTS is a public research university located in Sydney, Australia. Although its origins can be traced back to the 1870s but the university was established in its current form in 1988. As of 2020, University of Technology Sydney enrolls 46,328 students through its 9 faculties and schools.

The University of Technology Sydney started from the Sydney Mechanics’ School of Arts (the oldest continuously running Mechanics’ Institute in Australia), which was founded in 1833. However, in 1940 the NSW Parliament passed an Act to create an Institute of Technology, which in 1964 led to the establishment of the New South Wales Institute of Technology (NSWIT). The NSW Institute of Technology amalgamated with the NSW Institute of Business Studies in 1968 and in 1976 NSWIT founded the first law school in NSW outside the university sector. In 1985, the Haymarket campus was officially opened.

On 8 October 1987, university status was granted to NSWIT, which was followed by the passing of the University of Technology, Sydney, Act 1987. It was regenerated as the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) on 26 January 1988, along with the incorporation of the School of Design of the former Sydney College of the Arts.

In 1989, the University of Technology, Sydney, Act 1989 (NSW) formed UTS by compelling the Kuring-gai College of Advanced Education (KCAE) and the Institute of Technical and Adult Teacher Education (ITATE) of the Sydney College of Advanced Education. By 1991, an academic structure of nine faculties and 25 schools was founded.
