Studying at UTS
Leaders in career-relevant education
With our global, practice-based learning model, UTS is a recognised leader in teaching and learning. In 2011, we received a five star rating from QS, in recognition of world-class achievements across a broad range of areas, internationally renowned research and teaching, and cutting edge facilities. Many of our lecturers are leaders in their areas of expertise, and many are active in professional practice. This means you'll be exposed to the most relevant and up-to-date knowledge and skills in your field.
Practice-based degrees
Learning the theory is important, but the real value lies in knowing how to apply it. Many assessments are based on real-world case studies and we encourage students to take advantage of our strong industry partnerships to undertake work experience as part of their degree.
This practical approach means our students graduate with the skills, knowledge and hands-on experience sought by employers worldwide. What you learn at UTS will not only help you land a graduate — it will build the skills you need to adapt and grow throughout your career.

Convenient locations
Within easy walking distance of Central Station and the Sydney CBD, our City campus is easily accessible by bus and train. Close to cosmopolitan inner-city suburbs such as Glebe, Surry Hills and Darling Harbour, the City campus is surrounded by places to shop, eat and just hang out.
20 minutes north of the city, our Lindfield campus, offers Business, Nursing and Education degrees. There is free student parking on campus and a free shuttle bus service running between the Lindfield and City campuses.
World-leading campus and facilities
Our vision is to create a world-class interconnected campus — a place where students can study, socialise and connect. Four new iconic buildings, enhanced social spaces and major refurbishments of existing buildings are underway on our City campus, with new student accommodation and sporting facilities already complete. Social and teaching spaces at our Lindfield campus have recently been expanded and upgraded, including state-of-the-art AVS facilities.

International opportunities
The personal, social and professional development, you gain through an international study experience will add excitement and value to your degree, and broaden your career options. You can study overseas as part of our global exchange program and our international studies program can be combined with other majors, giving you the opportunity to spend a year studying in another language overseas. Other opportunities for international engagement include our popular BUiLD program, which offers overseas volunteering opportunities.

Flexible study options
UTS offers flexible timetabling, enabling you to schedule your study to suit your lifestyle and commitments. Our classes are offered in different timeslots, giving you the option to choose day classes, evening classes, summer school, part-time or block courses. We also encourage you to think outside your discipline and undertake a combined degree to broaden your career opportunities, or choose electives outside your field of study to keep you inspired by subjects that interest you.

UTS has over 100 clubs and societies on campus, along with bars, cafes and a range of sporting facilities, including a gym. To ensure you feel confident and supported, we offer academic support services along with services to help with housing, money, making friends, health, cultural issues and career development.
