The University of Technology Sydney (UTS) is a university in Sydney, Australia. The university was founded in its current form in 1988, although its origins trace back to the 1870s. It is part of the Australian Technology Network of universities. It was ranked 4th in Australia in the CWTS Leiden Ranking 2015 and in the 301st–400th bracket in the 2015 Academic Ranking of World Universities.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Academic Ranking of World Universities - 2013 - Top 500 universities - Shanghai Ranking - 2013 - World University Ranking - 2013 )〕 UTS is ranked in the top 250 universities by the Times Higher Education World University Rankings and 28th on the Times Higher Education list of "100 most international universities in the world". UTS ranked 9th in Australia at 218th in the 2015-2016 QS World University Rankings. ==History== The present-day University of Technology originates from the Sydney Mechanics' School of Arts (the oldest continuously running Mechanics' Institute in Australia), which was established in 1833. In the 1870s, the SMSA formed the Workingman's College which was later taken over by the NSW government to form, in 1882, the Sydney Technical College.〔 In 1969, part of the Sydney Technical College became the New South Wales Institute of Technology (NSWIT). It was officially unveiled by Neville Wran. It was reconstituted as the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS), in 1988 under the ''University of Technology, Sydney Act'' of NSW State Parliament, which was later superseded by the ''University of Technology, Sydney, Act 1989 (NSW)''. In 1990, it absorbed the Kuring-gai College of Advanced Education and the Institute of Technical and Adult Teacher Education of the Sydney College of Advanced Education, under the NSW ''Higher Education (Amalgamation) Act 1989''. Although its antecedent institutions go back as far as 1893, they took new shapes from the 1960s, creating a new University focused on practice-oriented education with strong links to industry, the professions and the community, and with a growing research reputation and a strong commitment to internationalisation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=UTS History ) 〕 UTS has had three phases in its history: *In the first phase, effort was concentrated on embedding an amalgamation of institutions which were structurally and culturally different. This strengthened the research culture and established a more consistent approach to teaching and learning.〔 *The second phase, beginning in the mid-1990s, saw a strong focus on international student recruitment, combined with an expansion of professional post-graduate programs for domestic students. Greater emphasis on both research and flexible learning also became priorities during this period.〔 *The third phase began in 2000 with a 10-year strategic vision. This involved concentrating research funding into four major research institutes, upgrading physical infrastructure at the city campus, enhancing teaching and learning, and continuing entrepreneurial activity.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「University of Technology Sydney」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
