Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on March 3, 1952.

The lion and stars are from the arms of the State, to which the Cross of St George also refers; the open book is self-explanatory.

'Manu et Mente' was the motto of the Sydney Technical College out of which the University, formerly called 'The New South Wales University of Technology', has developed.
