• Who is considered an undergraduate student?

  Undergraduate students are those studying their first university qualification, typically a bachelor’s degree. This includes recent school leavers and students returning to study from work, travel or other pathways.

• How do I apply for an undergraduate course at UTS?

  Applying for an undergraduate course at UTS usually involves four main steps:

  1. Choose your course and check the entry requirements
     Visit the course page to confirm the required ATAR or Selection Rank, subject prerequisites and any additional requirements such as a portfolio, audition or interview.
  2. Check your eligibility or pathway options
     If you don’t meet the standard entry requirements, you may still be eligible through adjustment factors, alternative qualifications, or pathway programs.
  3. Submit your application
     Most domestic undergraduate applicants apply through the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC). You’ll need to include your course preferences and any required supporting documents.
  4. Respond to your offer
     If you receive an offer, follow the instructions in your offer letter to accept, defer or decline your place before the deadline.

  Entry requirements and application processes can vary by course, so it’s important to check the specific course page before applying.
