There are two different requirements that students applying to UTS need to meet: English language (as all courses at UTS are taught in English), and academic requirements.
International students who have not studied in English or who are from a country where English is not the primary language need to show their proficiency by doing an English-language test or program recognised by UTS. Details on English-language requirements can be found on the UTS website.
For entry into undergraduate courses at UTS, students need a competitive pass in a recognised matriculation exam, equivalent to an Australian Year 12 qualification.
For entry into undergraduate honours courses and most postgraduate courses, students must hold a recognised bachelor's degree equivalent to an Australian bachelor's degree.
Equivalent qualifications differ between countries. Full details on academic requirements can be found on the UTS website.
UTS provides international students with one of the most generous scholarship programs in the country. Details on scholarships can be found on the official website.
Over the past decade, UTS has transformed its campus. Through the construction of sustainable buildings like the UTS Business School – designed by Frank Gehry – the campus has become iconic in Sydney. Students benefit from interconnected learning spaces that encourage collaboration and research innovation between different faculties.
Students can enjoy the university's Alumni Green or join one of 180 different clubs and societies at UTS, where they can connect with liked-minded individuals and meet new friends through dance, design, dogs or whatever else interests them. The university campus is also home to countless dining options, allowing students to enjoy all kinds of cuisine in and around UTS.
UTS is located in Sydney's newest innovation precinct: Tech Central. Tech Central is the home of Australia's technology economy, integrating industry, research and education – all on the doorstep of UTS.

Students can step onto campus and experience UTS in this 360-degree virtual tour.
UTS provides a diverse range of support services to help international students enhance their learning, health and wellbeing. These include:
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 kilolitres – 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 percent 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.
