CAPA Sydney Center

The CAPA Sydney Center is housed on University of Technology Sydney (UTS)'s campus within the Haymarket neighborhood. The Center comprises 6 classrooms, including 3 large lecture-style classrooms, large communal space and outdoor patio, contemporary student lounge with Wi-Fi access, student computer and printing facilities, a faculty/meeting space, and administrative offices for CAPA on-site student services, internship, and academic staff.

CAPA courses and programs are rigorous and run in strict adherence to the Forum on Education Abroad’s Standards of Good Practice. The programs are designed to support student’s development while abroad, working toward what we call our Student Learning and Development Outcomes (or SLDOs). From personal and professional development to urban environments, our five SLDOs will guide everything students do while on a CAPA program: diversity, globalization, social dynamics, urban environments, and personal and professional development. Students are encouraged to explore and analyze these urban environments through in-classroom study and out-of-classroom experiences.

CAPA Sydney Center offerings include courses in wide variety of subjects including business, marketing, art, film, history, gender studies, urban studies, and more.

Accreditation

Courses taught at the CAPA Sydney Center have been designed in conjunction with, and approved by, the University of Minnesota and University of Pittsburgh. These agreements follow the highest standards of good practice in education abroad and satisfy the rigorous requirements of the University's institutional accreditors, making credits earned at the CAPA Sydney Center easily transferable to US-accredited institutions.
