Tips for choosing UTS

Profile

UTS was formed at the beginning of 1988 from the former NSW Institute of Technology, and was restructured in 1990 with the merger of the 'Old UTS' with the Kuring-gai College of Advanced Education, the School of Design , and the Institute of Technical and Adult Teacher Education, forming the current UTS. Now, the University of Technology Sydney is well known as a leading provider of professional career-focused education. All programs are relevant and progressive, leading to internationally recognized degrees. Industry professionals help develop and review UTS courses to provide a balance between theory and practical application. This difference distinguishes UTS from other universities. UTS offers a diverse range of flexible and innovative courses. UTS has a multicultural student mix of more than 27000 students. Our international student population is made up of over 3,000 international students from over 70 countries.
