The University of Sydney is Australia's oldest University, with beautiful sandstone cloisters and peaceful parklands throughout the campus. But we don't rest on our laurels, a $250 million project, Campus 2010 is underway to renew, rebuild and enhance the University.

Physics moved to the beautiful custom-built Physics Building in 1924. As we grow and evolve, there is constant refurbishment of labs and office space. Current work involves refurbishment of office space in Complex Systems and Applied Physics, and new labs in Photonics (CUDOS), Astrophotonics and Condensed Matter.

The University of Sydney is located in the heart of one of the world's most beautiful cities, only ten minutes from the city centre or thirty minutes to Bondi Beach. The trendy inner city areas of Glebe and Newtown flank the campus, with cheap student eateries and pubs galore.

Numerous bus routes service the Uni, and the train is twelve minutes walk away giving you access to fast and widespread Cityrail network.
