Your ultimate destination – the University of Technology Sydney (UTS)

Why choose UTS?The University of Technology Sydney (UTS) takes a global approach to education that has innovation at its core.

What’s more, UTS is a university for the real world. All courses are closely aligned with industry needs, so what you learn will prepare you for your future career.

Campus of the futureUTS has invested $1.3 billion in creating a dynamic and interconnected campus of the future, with award-winning buildings, state-of-the-art facilities and sustainable design. We’ve got tech-driven, purpose-built spaces that’ll inspire you to learn, as well as spaces for industry collaboration. When you’re not in class, take advantage of the many student spaces, relax on the Alumni Green and enjoy the central location. UTS is close to Sydney’s CBD, walking distance to Central Station, and just a few steps away from places to shop, eat and socialise.

Practice-oriented educationUTS is committed to hands-on practical learning — theory is great, but applying what you know is crucial to your success. Major projects, group work and real-life case studies are key to this practice-based approach, giving you the skills you need to impress future employers. UTS teachers are experts in their professional fields. They’ll enhance your learning experience with access to the most current industry practices and networks.

Our students come firstLife in a new city can be challenging. That’s why UTS provides services — many of which are free — to help you along the way. Student services include: English language support; Study support; Career development; Confidential medical and counselling services; Sports organisations and facilities; Peer networking and peer support opportunities; and Housing support.

Connections that countLearning doesn’t happen in isolation. In fact, at UTS learning is supported by strong relationships with industry.

All UTS faculties are led by industry advisory boards, and course content is developed in close collaboration with industry partners. UTS courses offer extensive practical components — think major projects, group work and real-life case studies — that give you the chance to apply your theoretical learning in a real-world context. Many courses are also accredited by professional associations so, when you graduate, your degree will be recognised across your chosen sector.

Research that countsAt UTS, research responds to the big questions. UTS has a growing reputation for future-focused research in emerging disciplines, centred around five theme areas: health, data science, sustainability, future work and industry, and social futures. From questions of technological disruption to the future of health care, big data and new ways of working, UTS is delivering real solutions to the challenges of today and tomorrow. We’re collaborative too. The university works closely with industry and academic partners across the globe to drive meaningful change in the world.

More than just a jobReady for the world of work? The UTS Careers Service is here to help. Free careers consultations, résumé reviews and employment workshops have all been designed to enhance your employment prospects. You can also access student job boards, industry career fairs and international alumni networks. But don’t stop there: gain leadership skills through the UTS BUiLD program, or participate in one of the many volunteering opportunities at UTS.
