University of Sydney

New South Wales - Australia

Overview

The birth of the University of Sydney in 1850 broke with the traditions of Britain’s ancient universities by admitting students on academic merit rather than on the basis of religion or social class.

During the second half of the 20th century, Sydney researchers and graduates included medical pioneers, prime ministers, Aboriginal community leaders, Oscar winners – and even Australia's first astronaut.
