Redesigning teaching and learning to transform business education
At the University of Sydney Business School, we've adopted an innovative approach to our teaching and learning to develop students into future business leaders.
Transforming education and the student experience is a key strategic pillar in our 2020-2025 strategic intent. In order to support innovation and collaboration in the student experience, we've adopted a number of initiatives to revolutionise the ways we teach and learn both inside and outside the classroom.
Students will:
- connect with other students and disciplines from across the Business School and University to solve critical global, local and personal challenges
- engage with teaching staff as partners in the educational journey
- develop the skills, knowledge and values needed to become a future leader in business and the community
- have opportunities to engage in industry placement programs with leading industry partners in Australia and around the world

Connecting students to solve real-world challenges
