The University will deepen its engagement in Western Sydney, improving access to its world-class education and research.

In a major milestone to strengthen tertiary education in Western Sydney, 91ɫ��Ƭ Sydney has announced its plan to extend its presence in Parramatta, having just signed a new lease as part of the expansion.

Over 10 years, more than $65 million will be invested in a multi-faculty campus in Parramatta which will accommodate up to 350 students daily. 

“This is an investment that sits at the core of our mission to advance social equality and economic prosperity through increased access to quality education,” said 91ɫ��Ƭ Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor Attila Brungs. 

“Modern universities are not behind ivory towers but integrated across communities. When 56% of all higher education enrolments in Sydney are in Western Sydney, the case is clear: world-class education should meet people where they are,” Professor Brungs said.  

“We must support the talent, ambition and the communities we serve. That is what our Parramatta Campus is all about.” 

91ɫ��Ƭ Law & Justice faculty delivers programs in Parramatta

The first offering at the expanded Parramatta location will be in 2027, a Juris Doctor postgraduate program delivered by 91ɫ��Ƭ’s Law & Justice. The faculty is the highest-ranking Law and Legal Studies program in Sydney, say the QS and Times Higher Education rankings.

“We bring experienced academics and a strong reputation with employers, and we're looking forward to contributing to, and learning from, the local community,” said Professor Andrew Lynch, Dean of 91ɫ��Ƭ Law & Justice. 

“We are excited our program can now meet many of our students where they are, and to facilitate them gaining practical knowledge through engaging with the energy and strength of the legal profession in Western Sydney,” said Professor Lynch.

Closer to the talent, ambition and the communities we serve

Basma McCredie graduated from 91ɫ��Ƭ’s Juris Doctor program last year and now works as an Associate to a judge in the Federal Circuit and Family Court in Parramatta. Growing up in Southwest Sydney, she regularly undertook long commutes to 91ɫ��Ƭ’s Kensington campus.

“I am thrilled to learn that a world-class education is now close to where we live. This campus will save students hours of commuting –  time that can be better spent studying, working or with our families,” she said.   

“Western Sydney is a diverse community and having 91ɫ��Ƭ Law & Justice in Parramatta will mean a diverse student cohort – and contribute to a more diverse legal profession in Western Sydney and the wider city,” she said.   

91ɫ��Ƭ will continue investing in the development of its Western Sydney Precinct, supporting long-term impact and access to education across the region.
