University of Sydney

The University of Sydney (USYD, or informally Sydney Uni) is an

Australian public research university in Sydney, Australia. Founded The University of Sydney
in 1850, it is Australia's first university and is regarded as one of the
world's leading universities. The university is known as one of
Australia's six sandstone universities. Its campus is ranked in the top
10 of the world's most beautiful universities by the British Daily
Telegraph and the American The Huffington Post, spreading across
the inner-city suburbs of Camperdown and Darlington.[4][5] The
university comprises nine faculties and university schools, through
which it offers bachelor, master and doctoral degrees.

The QS World University Rankings ranked Sydney as one of the

world's top 25 most reputable universities,[6] and its graduates as the
top 5 most employable in the world and first in Australia.[7] It is one Coat of arms of the University of

History

1850–1950

In 1848, in the New South Wales Legislative Council, William

Wentworth, a graduate of the University of Cambridge and Charles
Nicholson, a medical graduate from the University of Edinburgh
Medical School, proposed a plan to expand the existing Sydney
College into a larger university. Wentworth argued that a state secular
university was imperative for the growth of a society aspiring towards
self-government, and that it would provide the opportunity for "the
child of every class, to become great and useful in the destinies of his
country".[10] It would take two attempts on Wentworth's behalf,
however, before the plan was finally adopted.
The University of Sydney in the early
The university was established via the passage of the University of 1870s, viewed from Parramatta Road
Sydney Act,[11] on 24 September 1850 and was assented on 1
October 1850 by Sir Charles Fitzroy.[12] Two years later, the
university was inaugurated on 11 October 1852 in the Big Schoolroom of what is now Sydney Grammar
School. The first principal was John Woolley,[13] the first professor of chemistry and experimental physics was
John Smith.[14] On 27 February 1858 the university received its Royal Charter from Queen Victoria, giving
degrees conferred by the university rank and recognition equal to those given by universities in the United
Kingdom.[15] By 1859, the university had moved to its current site in the Sydney suburb of Camperdown.

In 1858, the passage of the electoral act provided for the university to become a constituency for the New
South Wales Legislative Assembly as soon as there were 100 graduates of the university holding higher
degrees eligible for candidacy. This seat in the Parliament of New South Wales was first filled in 1876, but
was abolished in 1880 one year after its second member, Edmund Barton, who later became the first Prime
Minister of Australia, was elected to the Legislative Assembly.
Most of the estate of John Henry Challis was bequeathed to the
university, which received a sum of £200,000 in 1889. This was
thanks in part due to William Montagu Manning (Chancellor 1878–
95) who argued against the claims by British Tax Commissioners.
The following year seven professorships were created: anatomy;
zoology; engineering; history; law; logic and mental philosophy; and
modern literature.

A significant figure from 1927 to 1958, termed 'Sydney's best known

academic',[16] was the Professor of Philosophy at the University John
The Sydney University Regiment
Anderson. A native of Scotland, Anderson's controversial views as a
forming a guard of honour for the
self-proclaimed Atheist and advocate of free thought in all subjects
visiting Duke of York, 1927
raised the ire of many, even to the point of being censured by the state
parliament in 1943.[16]

1950–2000

The New England University College was founded as part of the University of Sydney in 1938 and later
separated in 1954 to become the University of New England.

During the late 1960s, the University of Sydney was at the centre of rows to introduce courses on Marxism
and feminism at the major Australian universities. At one stage, newspaper reporters descended on the
university to cover brawls, demonstrations, secret memos and a walk-out by David Armstrong, a respected
philosopher who held the Challis Chair of Philosophy from 1959 to 1991, after students at one of his lectures
openly demanded a course on feminism.[17] The Builders Labourers Federation placed a green ban on the
university after two women tutors were not allowed to teach a course but the issue was quickly resolved
internally.[18]

The philosophy department split over the issue to become the Traditional and Modern Philosophy Department,
headed by Armstrong and following a more traditional approach to philosophy, and the General Philosophy
Department, which follows the French continental approach.

Under the terms of the Higher Education (Amalgamation) Act 1989 (NSW)[19] the following bodies were
incorporated into the university in 1990:

Sydney Branch of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music

Cumberland College of Health Sciences
Sydney College of the Arts of the Institute of the Arts
Sydney Institute of Education of the Sydney College of Advanced Education
Institute of Nursing Studies of the Sydney College of Advanced Education
Guild Centre of the Sydney College of Advanced Education.

Prior to 1981, the Sydney Institute of Education was the Sydney Teachers College.

The Orange Agricultural College (OAC) was originally transferred to the University of New England under
the Act, but then transferred to the University of Sydney in 1994, as part of the reforms to the University of
New England undertaken by the University of New England Act 1993[20] and the Southern Cross University
Act 1993.[21] In January 2005, the University of Sydney transferred the OAC to Charles Sturt University.

2000–present
In February 2007, the university agreed to acquire a portion of the
land granted to St John's College to develop the Sydney Institute of
Health and Medical Research, now the Charles Perkins Centre, the
first new research building to be built on campus in over 40 years. As
a Roman Catholic institution, in handing over the land St John's
placed limitations on the type of medical research which could be
conducted on the premises, seeking to preserve the essence of the
college's mission. This caused concern among some groups, who
argued that it would interfere with scientific medical research.
The Main Quadrangle in its complete
However, this was rejected by the university's administration because
form as seen today
the building was not intended for this purpose and there were many
other facilities in close proximity where such research could take
place..

In 2010 the university received a rarely seen Pablo Picasso painting

from the private collection of an anonymous donor. The painting,
Jeune Fille Endormie, which had never been publicly seen since
1939, depicts the artist's lover, Marie-Thérèse Walter and was donated
on the strict understanding that it would be sold and the proceeds
directed to medical research.[22] In June 2011, the painting was
auctioned at Christie's in London and sold for £13.5 million ($20.6
million AUD). The proceeds of the sale funded the establishment of
many endowed professorial chairs at the yet to be constructed Charles
Charles Perkins Centre, University of
Perkins Centre, where a room dedicated to the painting, now Sydney
exists.[23]

At the start of 2010, the university controversially adopted a new

logo. It retains the same university arms, however it takes on a more modern look. There have been stylistic
changes, the main one being the coat of arm's mantling, the shape of the escutcheon (shield), the removal of
the motto scroll, and also others more subtle within the arms itself, such as the mane and fur of the lion, the
number of lines in the open book and the colouration.[24] The original Coat of Arms from 1857 continues to
be used for ceremonial and other formal purposes, such as on testamurs.[25][26]

Concerns about public funding for higher education were reflected again in 2014 following the federal
government's proposal to deregulate student fees. The university held a wide-ranging consultation process,
which included a "town hall meeting" at the university's Great Hall 25 August 2014, where an audience of
students, staff and alumni expressed deep concern about the government's plans and called on university
leadership to lobby against the proposals.[27] Spence took a leading position among Australian vice-
chancellors in repeatedly calling throughout 2014 for any change to funding to not undermine equitable access
to university while arguing for fee deregulation to raise course costs for the majority of higher education
students.[28][29]

In order to further enhance its competitiveness locally and internationally, the university has introduced plans
to consolidate existing degrees to reduce the overall number of programs.[30]

Controversies

In 2001, the University of Sydney chancellor, Dame Leonie Kramer, was forced to resign by the university's
governing body.[31] In 2003, Nick Greiner, a former Premier of New South Wales, resigned from his position
as chair of the university's Graduate School of Management because of academic protests against his
simultaneous chairmanship of British American Tobacco (Australia). Subsequently, his wife, Kathryn Greiner,
resigned in protest from the two positions she held at the university as chair of the Sydney Peace Foundation
and a member of the executive council of the Research Institute for Asia and the Pacific.[32]

In 2005, the Public Service Association of New South Wales and the Community and Public Sector Union
were in dispute with the university over a proposal to privatise security at the main campus (and the
Cumberland campus).[33]

Action initiated by Spence to improve the financial sustainability of the university has alienated some students
and staff.[34] In 2012, Spence led efforts to cut the university's expenditure to address the financial impact of a
slowdown in international student enrolments across Australia. This included redundancies of a number of
university staff and faculty, though some at the university argued that the institution should cut back on
building programs instead.[35] Critics argue the push for savings has been driven by managerial incompetence
and indifference,[34] fuelling industrial action during a round of enterprise bargaining in 2013 that also
reflected widespread concerns about public funding for higher education.[36]

An internal staff survey in 2012/13, which found widespread dissatisfaction with how the university is being
managed.[37] Asked to rate their level of agreement with a series of statements about the university, 19 per cent
of those surveyed believed "change and innovation" were handled well by the university. In the survey, 75 per
cent of university staff indicated senior executives were not listening to them, while only 22 per cent said
change was handled well and 33 per cent said senior executives were good role models.[38]

In the first week of semester, some staff passed a motion of no confidence in Spence because of concerns he
was pushing staff to improve the budget while he received a performance bonus of $155,000 that took his total
pay to $1 million, in the top 0.1 per cent of income earners in Australia.[39] Fairfax reports Spence and other
Uni bosses have salary packages worth ten times more than staff salaries and double that of the Prime
Minister.[40]

During Spence's term, the university community was divided over allowing students from an elite private
school, Scots College, to enter university via a "pathway of privilege" by means of enrolling in a Diploma of
Tertiary Preparation rather than meeting HSC entry requirements.[41] The university charged students $12,000
to take the course and have since successfully admitted a number of students to degree courses. An exposé by
Fairfax which turned out to be based on a misunderstanding as to VET and UAC matriculation standards, the
scheme has been criticised by Phillip Heath, the national chairman of the Association of Heads of independent
schools of Australia.[42]

An investigation by Fairfax in 2015 revealed widespread cheating at universities across NSW, including the
University of Sydney.[43] The university established a taskforce on academic misconduct in April 2015 to
maintain its leadership position in preventing incidences of cheating and academic misconduct.[44]

A 2016 investigation by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation exposed corporate deals between the
Veterinary Faculty and large pet food companies had resulted in the withholding of harmful cat food product
tested to protect corporate sponsors.[45]

The Institute of Public Affairs’ third (2018) annual audit of free speech on Australian campuses has named the
University of Sydney, the Australian National University and James Cook University as the most hostile to
free speech based on measures that “aggregate (the) number of problematic policies and actions”.[46] An
appendix, provided by the Institute of Public Affairs, listed 51 alleged incidents at 20 universities in which
freedom of expression was said to have come under attack. The University of Sydney accounted for the largest
(19 out of 51 or 37%) of those alleged incidents. A national code to protect freedom of speech at universities
has been endorsed by the federal government. It is intended to counter the risk of overreach by university
administrators and aims to restrain rules that stifle opinions that some might consider unwelcome, offensive or
even insulting.[47]
In the 2019 Student Experience Survey, the University of Sydney recorded the second lowest student
satisfaction rating out of all Australian universities, and the second lowest student satisfaction rating out of all
New South Wales universities, with an overall satisfaction rating of 74.2; this was lower than the national
average rating of 78.4.[48][49]

Campus

Main campus

The main campus has been ranked in the top 10 of the world's most
beautiful universities by the British Daily Telegraph, and The
Huffington Post, among others such as Oxford and Cambridge and is
spread across the inner-city suburbs of Camperdown and
Darlington.[4][5]

Originally housed in what is now Sydney Grammar School, in 1855

the government granted land in Grose Farm to the university, three
kilometres from the city, which is now the main Camperdown
campus. In 1854 the architect Edmund Blacket accepted a senate
invitation for the first buildings to be designed. In 1858 the Great Hall
was finished, and in 1859 the Main Building was built. He composed
the original Neo-Gothic sandstone Quadrangle and Great Tower
buildings, which were completed in 1862.[50] The rapid expansion of
the university in the mid-20th century resulted in the acquisition of
land in Darlington across City Road. The Camperdown/Darlington
campus houses the university's administrative headquarters, and the
Faculties of Arts, Science, Education and Social Work, Pharmacy,
Veterinary Science, Economics and Business, Architecture, and
Engineering. It is also the home base of the large Sydney Medical
School, which has numerous affiliated teaching hospitals across the
University of Sydney Quad Building
state.

The main campus is also the focus of the university's student life, with
the student-run University of Sydney Union (once referred to as "the Union", but now known as "the USU")
in possession of three buildings – Wentworth, Manning and Holme Buildings. These buildings house a large
proportion of the university's catering outlets, and provide space for recreational rooms, bars and function
centres. One of the largest activities organised by the Union is Welcome Week (formerly Orientation Week or
'O-week'[51]), a three-day festival at the start of the academic year. Welcome Week centres on stalls set up by
clubs and societies on the Front Lawns.

The main campus is home to a variety of statues, artworks, and monuments. These include the Gilgamesh
Statue and the Confucius Statue.

Some other architects associated with the University were Walter Liberty Vernon, Walter Burley Griffin, Leslie
Wilkinson, and the New South Wales Government Architect.[50] The building was designed in accordance
with the university's masterplanning by the architect and founding dean of the university's architecture faculty
Leslie Wilkinson, who himself was inspired by a previously unused masterplan developed for the campus by
Walter Burley Griffin in 1915.[52]
The 2002 conservation plan of the university stated that the Main Building and Quadrangle, Anderson Stuart
Building, Gate Lodges, St Paul's College, St John's College and St Andrew's College "comprise what is
arguably the most important group of Gothic and Tudor Revival style architecture in Australia, and the
landscape and grounds features associated with these buildings, including Victoria Park, contribute to and
support the existence and appreciation of their architectural qualities and aesthetic significance."[50]

In 2015 The NSW Department of Planning and Environment endorsed The University of Sydney's $1.4
billion Campus Improvement Plan which involved a number of new important structures and renovations.[53]

As of 2016 the university is undertaking a large capital works program with the aim of revitalising the campus
and providing more office, teaching and student space.[54] The program will see the amalgamation of the
smaller science and technical libraries into a larger library, and the construction of a central administration and
student services building along City Road. A new building for the School of Information Technologies opened
in late 2006 and has been located on a site adjacent to the Seymour Centre. The busy Eastern Avenue
thoroughfare has been transformed into a pedestrian plaza and a new footbridge has been built over City Road.
The new home for the Sydney Law School, located alongside Fisher Library on the site of the old Edgeworth
David and Stephen Roberts buildings, has been completed. The university has opened a new building called
"Abercrombie building" for business school students in early 2016.

The NSW state government has reduced transport links to the old campus and the closest Redfern railway
station leaving main access to buses on the neighbouring Parramatta Road and City Road, prioritising the
growth at other Sydney universities.[55]

From 2007, the university has used space in the former Eveleigh railway yards, just to the south of Darlington,
for examination purposes.

In 2018, New South Wales Minister for Heritage, Gabrielle Upton agreed to put the University of Sydney and
some adjacent sites on the state heritage register, creating a conservation area that would include the
Camperdown campus, and the nearby Victoria Park.[50]

Library

The University of Sydney Library consists of 11 individual libraries

located across the university's various campuses. The Fisher and
Health sciences libraries offer disability support services.[59]
According to the library's publications, it is the largest academic
library in the southern hemisphere;[60] university statistics show that
in 2007 the collection consisted of just under 5 million physical
volumes and a further 300,000 e-books, for a total of approximately
5.3 million items.[61] It is also the only university in Australia to be a
state legal deposit library[62] according to the Copyright Act 1968 Faculty of Law Library
which stipulates that a copy of every printed material published in
NSW be sent to the University Library. The Rare Books Library
possesses several extremely rare items, including one of the two extant copies of the Gospel of Barnabas and a
first edition of Isaac Newton's Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica.

Centre for Continuing Education

The Centre for Continuing Education is an adult education provider within the university. Extension lectures at
the university were inaugurated in 1886,[63] 36 years after the university's founding, making it Australia's
longest running university continuing education program.[64]
Museums and galleries

The University's significant art, natural history and antiquities

collections are organised into a number of collections.

The Nicholson Museum of Antiquities contains the largest

and most prestigious collection of antiquities in Australia.
The museum was founded in 1860 by the donation of Sir Lake Northam in Victoria Park
Charles Nicholson (Sydney University's second chancellor
1854-1862). It is also the country's oldest university
museum, and features ancient artefacts from Egypt, the Middle East, Greece, Rome, Cyprus
and Mesopotamia, collected by the university over many years and added to by recent
archaeological expeditions. The museum is located in the historic Main Quadrangle at the
University of Sydney and open freely to general public.
The Macleay Museum is named after Alexander Macleay,
whose collection of insects begun in the late eighteenth
century was the basis upon which the museum was
founded. It has developed into an extraordinary collection
of natural history specimens, ethnographic artefacts,
scientific instruments and historic photographs.
The University Art Collection was founded in the 1860s
and contains more than 7,000 pieces, constantly growing
through donation, bequests, and acquisition. It is housed in Nicholson Museum - Joy of Museum
several different places, including the Sir Hermann Black
Gallery and the War Memorial Art Gallery.
The University Art Gallery opened in 1959. The Gallery hosted numerous exhibitions until
1972, when it was taken over for office space. It reopened in 1995 and continues to present a
regularly changing program.[65]
The Rare Books Library is a part of the Fisher Library and holds 185,000 books and
manuscripts which are rare, valuable or fragile, including eighty medieval manuscripts, works
by Galileo, Halley and Copernicus and an extensive collection of Australiana. The copy of the
Gospel of Barnabas, and a first edition of Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica by Sir
Isaac Newton are held here. Regular exhibitions of rare books are held in the exhibition room.

A new museum called the Chau Chak Wing Museum, opening in November, combines the Nicholson,
Macleay and University Art collections into one institution. The new museum is named after Chau Chak
Wing, a Chinese businessman.

Halls of residence and residential colleges

The university has a number of halls of residence (based on research-lead living-learning principles) and
residential colleges, each with its own distinctive style and facilities. All offer a wide range of cultural, social,
sporting and leadership activities along with targeted academic support in a supportive communal
environment. The Halls of Residence are owned and operated by the University Accommodation Service.[66]
Starting in 2013, the University committed to creating the Halls of Residence (an additional 4,000-6,000
residential places) at an affordable price to enhance the educational experience of living on campus and to
offer more students a rich academic environment in which to live.[67]

The Student Accommodation Service and the Mana Yura Student Support Service were the first in Australia to
implement an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander On-Campus Residence Halls Scholarship Guarantee.[67]

Additionally, the university owns and operates International House.

Affiliated with the university are six religiously denominated colleges. Unlike some residential colleges in
British or American universities, the colleges are not affiliated with any specific discipline of study.

There is a university-affiliated housing cooperative, Stucco.

The college also publishes a peer-reviewed online journal, Philament,[70] that focuses on work by
postgraduate students including creative stories.[71] The journal is supported by an advisory board of faculty
members, and is registered by the Australian Commonwealth Department of Education Science and Training
(DEST).

A quarter of the university's female students residing in university colleges have been found to face sexual
harassment.[72] Between 2011 and 2016 there were 52 officially reported cases of sexual abuse and
harassment on campus released by the university, resulting in 1 expulsion, 1 suspension and 4 reprimands.[73]
This is less than the 2017 Australian Human Rights Commission report on sexual assault and harassment
which found reported figures substantially higher than this.[74] 71% of students surveyed in 2017 reported not
knowing how to make a report relating to sexual assault or harassment. Imogen Grant from the SRC said
students who had experienced sexual assault had come forward believing that "navigating the university
bureaucracy exacerbates trauma and often seems futile".[75] Previously a 2015 survey of 2000 students found
that 57 per cent of respondents did not know where to seek help or how to report sexual misconduct at USYD,
and only 1.4% of all serious sexual incidents are reported.[76] After the release of the 2017 report the vice-
chancellor said the university was committed to implementing "all of the recommendations contained in the
report".[75] Graphic videos emerged in 2018 of male students bragging of their sexual feats over the female
students, particularly first-years.[77]

Douglas Burrows Chair of Paediatrics and Child Health[108]

 John Challis Bequest for chairs in Law, International Law, Jurisprudence, Anatomy, Biology,

Mitchell Notaras Fellowship in Colorectal Surgery[112]
Robert W Storr Chair for Hepatic Medicine[113]

Coat of arms
The Grant of Arms was made by the College of Arms in 1857. The
grant reads:

Argent on a Cross Azure an open book proper, clasps

Gold, between four Stars of eight points Or, on a chief
Gules a Lion passant Guardant also Or, together with this
motto "Sidere mens eadem mutato" to be borne and
used forever hereafter by the said University of Sydney
on their Common Seal, Shields or otherwise according
to the Law of Arms.

The use of eight-pointed stars was unusual for arms at the time,
although they had been used unofficially as emblems for New South Arms used in the University of
Sydney logo, pre-2010
Wales since the 1820s and on the arms of the Church of England
Diocese of Australia in 1836.[114]

According to the university, the Latin motto Sidere mens eadem mutato can be translated to "the stars change,
the mind remains the same."[1] Francis Merewether, later Vice Provost, in 1857 proposed "Coelum non
animum mutant" from Horace (Ep.1.11.27) but after objections changed it to a metrical version including
"Sidus" (Star), a neat reference to the Southern Cross and perhaps the Sydney family link with Sir Philip
Sidney's "Astrophel (Star-Lover) & Stella (Star)".[115] Author and university alumnus Clive James quipped in
his 1981 autobiography that the motto loosely implies "Sydney University is really Oxford or Cambridge
laterally displaced approximately 12,000 miles."[116]

Student organisations
Student Representatives: Politically and academically,
undergraduate students are represented by the Students'
Representative Council (SRC) and postgraduate students
by the Sydney University Postgraduate Representative
Association (SUPRA).
University of Sydney Union: The University of Sydney
Union (USU) is the oldest and largest university union in
Australia. USU provides a range of activities, programs,
services and facilities geared at giving students the
Orientation Week at University Place
university experience. This involves delivering a huge
Clubs and Societies program, a varied entertainment
program, student opportunities, a range of catering and
retail services plus buildings and recreational spaces for students, staff and visitors.
The SRC and Union are both governed by student representatives, who are elected by students each year.
Elections for the USU board of directors occur in first semester; elections for the SRC President, and for
members of the Students' Representative Council itself, occur in second semester, along with a separate
election for the editorial board of the student newspaper Honi Soit, which is published by the SRC. The
elections are usually closely contested, and result in much of the main campus being covered with chalk
messages from the various candidates.

In February 2017, individuals who wanted to serve and get on the University of Sydney student council
needed to sign a statutory declaration - openly declaring that they are gay, lesbian, bi, trans*, intersex or non-
binary to automatically fill hard-line "diversity quotas".[117]

Notable alumni
University of Sydney alumni have made significant contributions to Australia and the world.

Notable alumni of Sydney include seven Prime Ministers, the most of any university, three Chief Justices of
the High Court, four Federal Opposition Leaders, two Governors-General, nine Federal Attorneys-General,
and 24 Justices of the High Court—more than any other law school in Australia. The faculty has also
produced 24 Rhodes Scholars and several Gates Scholars. Internationally, alumni of Sydney Law School
include the third President of the United Nations General Assembly and a President of the International Court
of Justice (in each case, the only Australians to date to hold such positions).

The University of Sydney is associated with five Nobel laureates: in chemistry John Cornforth (alumnus; the
only Nobel Laureate born in New South Wales) and Robert Robinson (staff); in economics, John Harsanyi
(alumnus); and in physiology or medicine, John Eccles and Bernard Katz (both staff).

The School of Physics has played an important role in the development of radio astronomy in particular:[118]
Ruby Payne-Scott conducted the first interferometric observations in radio astronomy with the sea-cliff
interferometer at Dover Heights; alumnus Ron Bracewell proposed the nulling interferometer to image
extrasolar planets, made contributions to the theory of the Fourier Transform and X-ray tomography, and
proposed the idea of the Bracewell probe in SETI; and alumnus Bernard Mills led the construction of the Mills
Cross Telescope and Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope in the ACT. School of Physics alumnus and
Crafoord Laureate Edwin Salpeter discovered the form of the initial mass function of stars, the importance of
beryllium-8 in stellar nuclear fusion, and independently with Yakov Zel'dovich proposed the black hole
accretion disk model of active galactic nuclei. The Apollo 14 Mission Scientist Philip K. Chapman and the
first Australian-born astronaut to fly in space Paul Scully-Power are both alumni of the University. Chaos
theory pioneer and Crafoord Laureate Robert May is an alumnus of and former Professor at the School of
Physics, best known for his exploration of the logistic map bifurcations.

In the performing arts, notable alumni include soprano Joan Sutherland; Shakespearean actor John Bell actor,
producer and director Dolph Lundgren; and Sri Lankan born Indian actress Jacqueline Fernandez, South
Korean singer, producer and director former C-Clown member Rome.

Tourism
The University of Sydney has seen a considerable increase in number of visitors, specifically, a 4,000 visitor
increase between 2017 and 2019.[119] A contributing factor to this surge in traffic is linked to Chinese tourists
visting the University due to travel agencies advertising the Quadrangle as the film set for the Harry Potter
franchise.[119]
