The University of Technology Sydney (UTS) is one of the top 150 universities in the world, known for its practical approach to learning and research. Industry partners shape course content, so when students graduate from UTS, they’ll be ready to solve the challenges of today and tomorrow.
The UTS campus is made up of interconnected spaces that support practical learning, collaboration and research across all faculties. Located in the heart of Sydney, the campus is only a short walk from the city’s central transport hub and business district.

UTS is tapping into water sourced from the Flow Systems wastewater recycling plant, located across the road from the UTS Broadway campus at the vibrant Central Park development.
To connect the Flow Systems plant to the basement of UTS Central, horizontal drills burrowed a path under the road to make way for pipes. With the tap officially turned on, recycled water will now flow to the UTS campus to be used for landscaping, toilet flushing and in cooling towers.
It’s expected that the partnership will reduce UTS’s potable water use by around 40,000 kl – or sixteen Olympic swimming pools – each year.
UTS is innovating urban power generation with a unique 25-year licence to operate a 1.1-megawatt urban solar farm at the UTS Tech Lab and the surrounding business park.
More than 3,500 solar panels will generate 1,430,000 kWh of clean energy each year, which is around three per cent of the university’s energy needs and enough to power nearly 300 Australian homes.
UTS can use generated energy on-site to fully power Tech Lab operations, with additional generation offset against power use at the Broadway campus.

Undergraduate student scholarships
Postgraduate student scholarships
International students whose previous education was not conducted in English are required to demonstrate their English proficiency by completing an English-language test or program recognised by UTS.
English-language proficiency test scores are recognised by UTS provided they were obtained less than two years prior to application and applicants meet the admission requirements for the relevant course.
For more detail on English-language requirements, visit the UTS website.
For entry into undergraduate courses at UTS, students require a competitive pass in a recognised matriculation examination, equivalent to an Australian Year 12 qualification.
For admission into undergraduate honours coursework and most postgraduate courses, students must hold a recognised and relevant bachelor's degree equivalent to an Australian bachelor's degree.
Students must also demonstrate the potential to undertake research and submit a brief proposal which should have been discussed with an appropriate UTS staff member.
Note: In addition to these academic requirements, some courses may have specific admission requirements.
UTS believes that practice-oriented education is crucial to student success. Students can get practical through internships, simulations and case-based approaches to learning during their degree or study program.
