Academic year
The academic year at UTS is divided into two semesters, each with 14 weeks of teaching:
- Autumn semester from February to June, and
- Spring semester from July to November.
UTS also has a number of teaching sessions, where some subjects are offered. Full details of all UTS teaching sessions are avaiable in the UTS: Handbook. Completing subjects in teaching sessions is not compulsory but may allow you to complete your studies faster.
International students are advised to arrive in Sydney at least two weeks before classes commence in order to participate in the Orientation program, enrol in classes, and find and settle into suitable accommodation.
