The University of Sydney is Australia’s first university, founded in 1850, and consistently ranked among the world’s top universities. It is committed to leadership in education, research, and social impact, driven by values of integrity, inclusion, and excellence. The University brings together leading academics and students from across disciplines to address society’s most pressing challenges—from health and sustainability to technology and social justice. Through a bold strategic vision, it fosters collaboration, innovation, and real-world engagement, preparing graduates to lead with purpose in a rapidly changing world.
The University of Sydney Business School, as part of this broader mission, became a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact’s Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) in February 2016. The School uses this platform to champion change and to transform traditional business education beyond the single-minded pursuit of profit maximisation—focusing instead on responsibility, sustainability, and ethical leadership.
