What you can study at uni

Your first qualification at uni is called a bachelor's degree or undergraduate degree, and it usually takes three to five years to complete.

Areas of study

Different universities offer different fields of study (subject areas) and degrees (courses or programs), and degrees with the same name will be taught differently in each university.

UTS offer courses in 10 different course areas:

• Business

Types of courses

You might choose to enrol in just:

• one degree,
  e.g. a Bachelor of Engineering, or,
• a combined degree,
