The University of Sydney is ranked in the top 50 universities worldwide and, like Edinburgh, has ambitious goals to work with complementary universities to improve the staff and student experience.
INCiTE Summer School
Edinburgh and Sydney have collaborated (along with other partners) since 2019 on the INCiTE Summer School. This innovative 2-week summer programme in East and Southeast Asia puts students into multicultural teams to learn about intercultural competence, design thinking, and entrepreneurship, all while building a business model to solve a local challenge. The 2024 programme will be held in Da Nang, Vietnam, and past iterations of the summer school have taken place in Suzhou, China and Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
Student mobility to increase
In 2024, we renewed our Student Exchange Super Agreement with Sydney, committing to increasing student exchange to 50 full-year equivalent exchange places per year at both universities. We will gradually move towards this target over the next few years.
The partnership includes a University-wide exchange covering general subjects, as well as additional Subject-specific exchange streams in the fields of:
- Business
- Chemistry (research exchange)
- Ecological & Environmental Sciences
- Physics (research exchange)
Our Universities also have a Clinical Placement agreement in place, facilitating the exchange of medical students each year.
