The University of Sydney is the oldest and most prestigious university in Australia, known as "the first institution of higher learning in Australia" and one of the best institutions of higher learning in the world.

Its long history and outstanding achievements have earned it the reputation of "Oxford in the Southern Hemisphere". The University of Sydney is the best university in Australia, and it is also a relatively recognized university by the Australian people, which is directly reflected in its average entry threshold of the first undergraduate course in Australia.
