Info Night series
On-campus and off-campus: March – April 2026
Explore your future at the University of Sydney by joining us at one of our Info Nights, with dates available at venues in Western and Southwest Sydney, the Central Coast, and on campus.
The events include two concurrent sessions tailored to students in Year 10 or Years 11–12. The Year 10 session is interactive, helping students link strengths and interests to courses and providing clear guidance on subject selection, while providing a high‑level overview of admissions, entry schemes, pathways, fees, scholarships and support services covered in the Year 11–12 session. You'll also have the opportunity to chat with current University of Sydney students and alumni from various study areas, hear about their experiences, and get advice on shaping your own study journey. The on-campus event will feature guided tours of the University.

Dentistry at Sydney
The Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Dental Medicine double degree will not be offered to newly commencing students from 2027. Following completion of an undergraduate degree, graduates may apply to the Doctor of Dental Medicine to pursue a career in dentistry. This change aims to increase participation and improve access for a more diverse student cohort, ensuring graduates are well prepared to meet the needs of the communities they serve.
