University of Technology Sydney
‘This exciting new partnership will deliver world class immersive creative industry experiences for students from across NSW and will see the University’s own students, staff and researchers embedded into the life of the museum and across our collaborative industries precinct. The potential to share facilities and generate collaborations between students, researchers, museum staff and Creative Industries Residents will elevate the creative industry output of NSW.’
University of Technology Sydney (UTS) is the Foundation University Partner of Powerhouse Ultimo. The University’s significant investment in the museum reinforces its commitment to developing the next generation of Australian creative leaders and amplifying NSW creative talent through partnerships with industry.
The synergistic institutions are reimagining common ground in Ultimo to establish a dynamic and engaging Creative Industries Precinct, which will include shared creative studios and learning facilities, joint research projects and collaborative outdoor activations. Students will also have valuable opportunities to extend their knowledge through internships and potential work experience with key industry collaborators.
The Ultimo Creative Industries Precinct will be the largest of its kind in Australia, amplifying the profile of Sydney’s diverse creative industries community nationally and internationally, and enriching the University’s leadership in transdisciplinary research and innovation.
UTS will become the Supporting University Partner of the Powerhouse Ultimo Design Academy, which fosters innovation and creativity by connecting local and regional students with industry leaders. The Academy will provide accommodation within the museum for students from regional and remote areas while they engage in learning programs and explore potential undergraduate and professional pathways.
