The Official Visits Program manages delegations from international academic institutions, research organisations and governments agencies, to strengthen our global collaborations and strategic research interests.

Delegations and international visits hosted by the Office of Global and Research Engagement are typically for diplomatic and partnership development purposes. Visitors seeking to give academic lectures or engage in discipline-specific meetings are encouraged to identify an academic host. Please feel free to consult our Office about such engagements by emailing official.visits@sydney.edu.au.

Official visits make an important contribution to our culture, shared experiences and thinking, and help us to develop sustainable collaborative relationships. We welcome visitors both in person on campus, as well as virtually.

We encourage representatives of international universities, research organisations and government bodies to request an official visit to the University of Sydney by filling out the Official Visit Request Form at least four weeks (20 business days) prior to the proposed visit date.

Visit criteria

The Office of Global and Research Engagement may facilitate short-term visits (one day or less) that meet at least one of the following criteria:

  • The visit involves senior leadership from international peer universities or government organisations that have significant existing partnerships with the University of Sydney, such as student exchange, research, or other forms of academic collaboration.
  • Meetings requested involve multiple units on campus and extend beyond one academic unit or department. Visit requests with a specific, singular scholarly interest or collaboration should be directed to the relevant University of Sydney Unit/Faculty/School).
  • The delegation involves high-ranking government officials representing country leadership (i.e., Minister of Education, ambassador, head of state).
  • Visitors have requested to meet with senior leadership, including the Vice-Chancellors, Deputy Vice-Chancellors, or Pro Vice-Chancellors.

Please note there are periods when faculty and staff have limited availability, such as during university holidays. Please refer to the Academic Calendar and contact us for more information. Please note the University does not host visits in December and January.

Unfortunately, due to a high volume of demand, the University of Sydney is not able to accommodate all visit requests, nor all requests to meet with leadership. We appreciate your interest and thank you for your kind understanding.
