Location Details
Sydney is the state capital of New South Wales and is found in the southeastern shores of Australia on the Tasman Sea. The city has become famous for its beautiful waterfront, Sydney Harbour, which include Sydney’s main tourist attractions, the Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House.
Sydney Campuses
The University of Sydney’s main area of operation in the city is its Camperdown/Darlington campus, located about 5 km from Darling Harbour and Sydney Cove. Buses run everywhere, but a 45-minute walk to the harbour can feature a stop at the Haymarket District or grabbing some great dim sum in Chinatown! Sydney offers you the culture and excitement of a modern city while the local University Student Union, pubs and coffee shops provide the sense of community not found off campus.
The University of Sydney has a network of teaching campuses. Some studies or placements are undertaken outside the main campus, such as Sydney’s dentistry program (Surry Hills campus) and vet science program (Camden campus outside Sydney).
Weather
Sydney makes good use of a climate that never feels a day below freezing and boasts a temperate maritime climate that averages annually from 12°C to 23°C. With such great weather, Sydneysiders have their choice of activities that includes walking the harbour front or lying on the grass at the Royal Botanic Gardens, one of the many large parks in the city.
