Moore park campus

UTS, Rugby Australia and the Sydney Cricket and Sports Ground Trust recently opened a new sporting centre that is the first of its kind in Australia, because it integrates an academic precinct within world-class sporting facilities. The Rugby Australia Building, in Sydney's Moore Park sports precinct (next to the Allianz Stadium and Sydney Cricket Ground), will be home to more than 100 sports professionals and over 700 sport and exercise students and researchers. They will have access to world-class amenities, including state-of-the-art training and research spaces, and high-performance laboratories.

UTS’s award-winning model of learning focuses on the development of graduate attributes that make students ready for now and the future.
