History
The
Sydney Mechanics' School of Arts (the oldest continuously running Mechanics' Institute in Australia) was established in 1833. In the 1870s, the school expanded into
technical education and formed the Working Men's College, which was later taken over by the NSW government to form the
Sydney Technical College.
In 1940 the NSW Parliament passed an Act to establish an
Institute of Technology
An institute of technology (also referred to as technological university, technical university, university of technology, polytechnic university) is an institution of tertiary education that specializes in engineering, technology, applied science ...
, which in 1964 led to the establishment of the New South Wales Institute of Technology (NSWIT). In 1968, the NSW Institute of Technology amalgamated with the NSW Institute of Business Studies. In 1976 NSWIT established the first law school in NSW outside the university sector. The Haymarket campus officially opened in 1985.
On 8 October 1987 university status was granted to NSWIT, which was followed by the passing of the ''University of Technology, Sydney, Act 1987''. It was reconstituted as the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) on
26 January 1988, along with the incorporation of the School of Design of the former
Sydney College of the Arts.
In 1989, the ''University of Technology, Sydney, Act 1989 (NSW)'' formed UTS by absorbing the Kuring-gai College of Advanced Education (KCAE) and the Institute of Technical and Adult Teacher Education (ITATE) of the
Sydney College of Advanced Education. By 1991, an academic structure of nine faculties and 25 schools was established.
[
The School of Design was initially housed at a campus in Balmain, which closed at the end of 1994, with the school moved to a new building at the city campus. The environmental, biological and biomedical science schools were located on a campus at St Leonards, which was closed in 2006, which also relocated to the city campus following a redevelopment.
The Kuring-Gai campus closed at the end of 2015, with classes and facilities moved into the main Haymarket campus. This marked the consolidation of UTS into a single unified campus in the Sydney CBD.

Controversies
In 2021, the former Dean of Science Diane Jolley was found guilty of causing financial disadvantage by deception after orchestrating a campaign of intimidation – against herself – while pushing to cut the UTS traditional Chinese medicine degree.

Jolley was sentenced to 2 years 6 months, to be served by way of Intensive Corrections Order for dishonestly causing financial disadvantage by deception by conveying information likely to make a person fear for the safety of a person, knowing that the information was false or misleading.
