University of Sydney Camperdown NSW 2006

Established in the mid-19th century, the University of Sydney is the oldest university in Australia and one of the leading research-based universities in the world. It is largely located within the Darlington and Camperdown suburbs. A part of the so-called sandstone universities, the institution attracts students from all parts of the world and contributes greatly to the rich cultural heritage of the city.

Apart from producing some of the world’s most employable graduates, the University of Sydney also takes pride in being affiliated to at least five Nobel Prize recipients and two Crafoord Prize recipients. The university, in conjunction with other nearby tertiary institutions, is largely responsible for the thriving art, cultural and nightlife scenes in Sydney’s inner western suburbs. As of 2018, there were over 60,000 students studying at the university. We at Britlock Locksmith Sydney Inner West appreciate the university for the fine students it produces, the amazing lecturers and the architectural wonder that it is!
