A Vibrant and Diverse Postgraduate Community
There is no mould for fitting in at Sancta – our diversity of age, gender, culture and academic discipline means residents feel welcome from the day they arrive. The College values respect and support for all. A third of residents join us from countries such as Canada, China, India, USA, New Zealand and United Kingdom. Graduate House residents study at the University of Sydney, the University of Technology Sydney, and the University of Notre Dame Sydney, with the top five faculties being Medicine, Arts and Social Sciences, Business, Law, and Dentistry.

Professionals in Residence
Sancta’s Professionals-in-Residence program is a key initiative of Sancta’s long-term aim – to be a hub for the world’s brightest scholars and professionals to live and learn together. Professionals-in-Residence brings professionals in their early years of practice or research into our community of university scholars. This builds upon our culture of knowledge-sharing and peer support, whilst adding a deeper layer of experience to the community. Each year, up to 20 working professionals will call Sancta’s Graduate House “home”. Places are subject to availability.
