Internationalisation is our key to a more connected world. Together, our students, academics and alumni are shaping the world of tomorrow.
Key Technology Partnerships
We've partnered with universities that share our research interests and the desire for close collaboration. The diversity of our partners reflects the geopolitical, economic and intellectual priorities of UTS and Australia more broadly.
SHU and UTS cofounded one of the largest and oldest joint higher-education institutes in China: the Sydney Institute of Language and Commerce (SILC), established in 1994. SHU and UTS share research interests in design, urban social studies, engineering, business, and science.
UTS and IITM have mutual research interests in water and wastewater technology, computer science, big data, energy, construction management, physics, nano-materials and chemical vapour disposition.
UTS and the University of Arizona have seen significant research collaboration together. Areas include Environmental Science, Law, Indigenous Studies, Health, and IT. The two universities also enjoy an active student exchange partnership.
“We know that innovation is not bound to one single country or continent: it’s a global concern. And so, creating global citizens is an important part of our remit.”
