The University of Technology Sydney (UTS) has its main City Campus at 15 Broadway, Ultimo, close to Sydney’s city centre. It was founded in its current form in 1988 by merging the New South Wales Institute of Technology with the School of Design of the former Sydney College of the Arts, the Kuring-gai College of Advanced Education and the Institute of Technical and Adult Teacher Education of the Sydney College of Advanced Education. The University of Technology Sydney Act 1989 (NSW) is its founding legislation, and UTS Council is its governing body.
Academic units include the UTS Business School, faculties of Design and Society, Engineering and Information Technology, Health, Law and Science, and a Transdisciplinary School. UTS reported 54,403 course enrolments in 2025, including 15,380 international students, and 4,359 full-time equivalent staff. Professor Andrew Parfitt has been Vice-Chancellor since November 2021.
