The University of Sydney

The University of Sydney has a network of teaching campuses spread throughout the Sydney area.

The main Camperdown/Darlington campus is well known as the home of our historic sandstone buildings, gargoyles and cloisters, lawns and courtyards. But this is just one part of the picture.

Across the campuses the University has lecture theatres, teaching spaces and studios with state-of-the-art facilities, laboratories with the latest technology, clinical schools to support professional development and experimental farms and research stations to put theory into practice.

You can find the Guide to University campuses on the University website. Each campus page tells you how to get to the campus and what faculties you'll find there, as well as providing links to campus maps, contact details and parking information.

There's more to Uni life than just lectures and tutorials.

Get involved in life on campus by joining student clubs and societies, participating in sporting activities, visiting the University’s museums and art galleries, attending a concert, or just hanging out with friends between lectures in our study and recreation spaces.
