UTS – Tertiary update day

This month, I visited the University Technology Sydney’s (UTS) tertiary update day. This is where a variety of providers of education, in the tertiary sector present to career advisors in the State. Rather then providing a huge article this week, I will share part 2 in the week 9 Ma Nishma edition.

UTS update

UTS is currently ranked as the number 1 ‘young’ university in the country. There is a large redevelopment plan including the new Glass Building, the Moore Park campus, the new UTS Engineering and IT Building and the new UTS Faculty of Science, which is under development. The new Rugby Australia building has opened in Moore Park, incorporating the Faculty of Health, Physiotherapy and Science. The Wallabies and the Women’s Rugby Sevens teams are also using this building, and so great partnerships are being forged. An open air running track, as well as a multipurpose hall, with filming and coaching equipment, is in use in the new building.

Transdisciplinary Innovation courses are highly competitive and growing yearly at UTS. The Bachelor of Technology and Innovation (BTI) (ATAR 81.55), and the Bachelor of Creative Intelligence and Innovation (BCII)*, have gained momentum since launched in 2016. This course is preparing students with life-long skills in a multi-disciplinary environment. Sydney City Council and Sydney Water are currently partnering with these students to work on real world problems.

New Majors at UTS:

  • Legal Future is a new major as part of the Bachelor of Laws in 2019, teaching lawyers to be problem solvers.
  • The Exercise Therapy major is new in the Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Science. This is a pathway to the Master of Physiotherapy. You need to apply for this Major separately in UAC when you apply for this course.
  • Pharmaceutical Sciences Major is new as part of the Pharmaceutical Sciences degree. This is then a pathway to the Masters of Pharmacy.

*(ATARs are dependent on the coupled joint degrees)
