Message from the Dean

With a proud history of excellence and impact, UTS has grown to become a global leader in engineering and IT education and research. Our Faculty is ranked among the top 100 in the world for Computer Science and Engineering and is consistently recognised as a top performer in Australia for graduate employability and industry engagement.

For more than three decades, our faculty has been a trailblazer in applied innovation - introducing Australia’s first practice-based engineering degree and embedding strong industry engagement in every phase of learning. Our pioneering research spans critical fields such as artificial intelligence, robotics, cybersecurity, and renewable energy, addressing some of society’s most pressing challenges. This work has not only advanced academic knowledge but has directly influenced national policies, improved healthcare diagnostics, strengthened critical infrastructure security, and supported Australia’s transition to sustainable energy.
