In 1848, in the New South Wales Legislative Council, William Wentworth, an alum of the University of Cambridge and Charles Nicholson, a restorative graduate from the University of Edinburgh Medical School, proposed a course of action to augment the present Sydney College into a greater school. Wentworth fought that a state school was essential for the advancement of an overall population attempting towards self-government, and that it would allow to "the posterity of every class, to wind up great and supportive in the fates of his nation". It would take two attempts for Wentworth's advantage, regardless, before the plan was finally grasped. 

The school was set up by method for the area of the University of Sydney Act,on 24 September 1850 and was assented on 1 October 1850 by Sir Charles Fitzroy.Two years afterward, the school was started on 11 October 1852 in the Big Schoolroom of what is at present Sydney Grammar School.

This seat in the Parliament of New South Wales was at first filled in 1876, however was invalidated in 1880 one year after its second part, Edmund Barton, who later transformed into the essential Prime Minister of Australia, was decided to the Legislative Assembly. 

A vast part of the home of John Henry Challis was passed on to the school, which got an entire of £200,000 in 1889. This was on account of some degree due to William Montagu Manning (Chancellor 1878–95) who fought against the cases by British Tax Commissioners. The following year seven residencies were made: life frameworks; zoology; planning; history; law; basis and mental rationale; and propelled composing.

The New England University College was set up as a noteworthy part of the University of Sydney in 1938 and later separated in 1954 to wind up the University of New England. 

In the midst of the late 1960s, the University of Sydney was at the point of convergence of lines to present courses on Marxism and lady's rights at the genuine Australian schools. At one stage, every day paper reporters dropped on the school to cover battles, appears, riddle updates and a way out by David Armstrong, a respected pragmatist who held the Challis Chair of Philosophy from 1959 to 1991, after understudies at one of his locations clearly asked for a course on women's liberation. The hypothesis office split over the issue to twist up the Traditional and Modern Philosophy Department, headed by Armstrong and taking after a more routine approach to manage thinking, and the General Philosophy Department, which takes after the French territory approach.

In 2001, the University of Sydney chancellor, Dame Leonie Kramer, was constrained to leave by the school's speaking to body.In 2003, Nick Greiner, a past Premier of New South Wales, surrendered from his position as seat of the college's Alum School of Management because of insightful disputes against his simultaneous chairmanship of British American Tobacco (Australia). Along these lines, his wife, Kathryn Greiner, surrendered in test from the two positions she held at the school as seat of the Sydney Peace Foundation and a person from the official get-together of the Research Institute for Asia and the Pacific.

In February 2007, the school agreed to pick up a touch of the range surrendered to St John's College to add to the Sydney Institute of Health and Medical Research. As a Roman Catholic establishment, in giving over the range St John's put requirements on the kind of restorative investigation which could be driven on the premises, hoping to protect the exemplification of the school's focal objective. This realized stress among a couple of social events, who fought that it would interfere with investigative therapeutic investigation.

At the start of 2010, the school debatably got another logo. It holds the same school arms, despite it handles an all the more front line look. There have been unpredictable changes, the standard one being the layer of arm's mantling, the condition of the peak (shield), the clearing of the witticism scroll, moreover others more unassuming within the arms itself, for instance, the mane and stow away of the lion, the amount of lines in the open book and the colouration.The first Coat of Arms from 1857 continues being used for adapted and other formal purposes, for instance, on testamurs. 

Action began by Spence to upgrade the money related supportability of the school has alienated a couple understudies and staff. In 2012, Spence drove tries to cut the school's utilization to address the budgetary impact of a log jam in overall understudy enrolments across over Australia. This included redundancies of different school staff and workforce, be that as it may some at the school battled that the foundation should diminish building programs instead.Critics fight the push for store reserves has been driven by regulatory insufficiency and lack of interest, fuelling present day action in the midst of a round of enormous business trading in 2013 that similarly reflected wide stresses over open sponsoring for cutting edge training.
