The UTS Transdisciplinary (TD) School is on a mission to instigate a monumental, revolutionary change to tertiary education and research through transdisciplinary innovation.
We believe the complex problems we’re facing in the world cannot be solved by one discipline alone and require solutions that transdisciplinary thinking can provide.
The first of its kind in Australia, our school challenges the status quo by bringing together great minds from different disciplines to explore ideas that improve the way we live and work in the world.

Great minds don’t always think alike
Collaboration across disciplines is fundamental to our School’s unique approach to learning, innovation and problem-solving. We collaborate with UTS colleagues from across the faculties and units to design and deliver bespoke enterprise learning to meet the needs of your organisation. We’re experts in what we call ‘blended’ learning – combining the best of on-campus and online teaching.
Transdisciplinary thinking seeks to build bridges between fields of study and expertise so diverse perspectives can intersect, ideas can be shared more fluidly between industries, and people can thrive through exposure to new ways of thinking and working.
By integrating different perspectives, data, information, tools, concepts, techniques and theories from multiple disciplines, our learners and researchers discover new ways to tackle problems together.
With world-class teachers and expert industry, government and community partners at the helm, Transdisciplinary School is full opportunities for those involved to evolve their thinking, harness the power of creativity and become master problem-solvers.
