About University of Technology Sydney - UTS

The New South Wales Institute of Technology was founded in 1964, and that year marked the beginning of the University of Technology Sydney (UTS). The institute purchased the Sydney College of the Arts School of Design on January 25, 1988. On January 26, 1988, the University of Technology, Sydney Act was approved, rebranding the institution as UTS. The Kuring-Gai College of Advanced Education, the Institute of Technical and Adult Teacher Education, and UTS were finally combined on January 1st, 1990 to create the current institution. The public research university currently participates in the Australian Technology Network, the Association of Commonwealth Universities, and the Association of Southeast Asian Institutions of Higher Learning (ASAIHL) (ATN).
