UTS Business School

Linda Tingey: UTS is amazing. The change that you undergo when you leave is the mindset you have. I came out of UTS a different person to when I went in.

Sara Denize: I’d like to pay respect to the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, acknowledging them as the traditional custodians of the land on which our Business School stands. I’d like to pay respects to elders past and present, acknowledging them as the traditional custodians for this place.

Welcome to the UTS Business School. We’re a different type of Business School.

We’re focused on developing and sharing knowledge for an innovative, sustainable, prosperous economy in a fairer world. By taking an unconventional approach to business education, we give you a practical foundation for your career that provides the skills and mindset needed to solve the challenges of tomorrow.

Our programmes and research bring intellectual rigour, industry input and creative problem solving together to enable businesses to thrive and shape a better future.

Katie Schlenker: As a globally accredited Business School, we are committed to educating students from Australia and around the world to be career ready, innovative, tech savvy and socially responsible. Students can expect to solve real world challenges, meet industry guest lecturers and get hands on with interactive learning that helps them emerge as resilient and ready for their career in a dynamic business landscape.

Anurag Hingorani: The Bachelor of Business is our most flexible, professionally focused programme yet. Developed and delivered in partnership with business leaders, it will prepare you to become a confident, ethical and highly skilled professional in any sector you choose.

James Wakefield: At UTS you won’t just learn business theory, you also gain practical hands on skills that allow you to navigate complex business challenges and drive innovation across any sector you work in.

Maud Dumont: My name is Maud Dumont. I work at the NSW Department of Climate Change, the Environment, Energy and Water. My background is in neuroscience, and with my MBA I was able to bridge all the finance people with the research teams.

I really wanted to have a positive impact on society and I felt doing business, being maybe in a position with a bit more power, you have a bigger voice and you can make bigger change to society in a good way.

Ester Felez Vinas: UTS helps students align with the latest industry trends and innovation through exposing them to practitioners who are dealing with these issues on a day to day basis.

What’s different with us is we’ve really brought social impact to the very heart of everything we do. Our research is focused on things like Indigenous employment, healthy ageing, climate and disability work to embed a positive impact on society, not just now but also through education for future generations as our graduates leave here and go out into the world of work.

Technology powers your learning. At UTS, our industry shaped programmes have data, AI and innovation at the centre so that you can solve real problems with real tools right here on the doorstep of Tech Central.

An example of this is our partnership with the Digital Finance Cooperative Research Centre, which is aiming to transform the foundations of our financial system by using technologies like blockchain to redefine who can invest, what can be traded and how markets operate.

Sara Denize: At the UTS Business School, we have built an intersection of world class education, collaborative research and deep industry partnerships to create graduates who thrive on innovation and who are inspired to make a positive impact on business and society.

When you think of university buildings, you probably think of things that are a bit more medieval in character.

I think what's great about this building is it's innovative, contemporary, it's different.

It's like it's a metaphor for who we aspire to be to be a different kind of business school.

We're very explicit at UTS Business School of having a vision of being a socially committed school focused on economic, social and cultural prosperity.

How does business contribute more broadly and what does that mean in terms of the research that we do? What does it mean in terms of the education that we offer?
And I think that's what really sets us apart.

What's different with us is we've really brought social impact to the very heart of everything we do.

Our research is focused on things like indigenous employment, healthy ageing, climate and disability work to embed a positive impact on society, not just now, but also, through education for future generations as our graduates leave here and go out into the world of work.

The UTS Ageing Research Collaborative is a high impact initiative which was driven by academics seeing a problem and wanting to address it in terms of looking broadly at the, what some people would call the ageing crisis in Australia, and looking broadly at what can we do as a society to create a system where people can age well.

When we have an ageing population one of the kind of key challenges that presents is it increases the demand for care and support services much further beyond what can be provided to someone by their family, their friends and their community.

That demographic shift means that to fulfil the needs of older people, then you need, you know, those services to be provided through a formal system. And so with that ageing population, that's the sort of pressures that is introducing.

The UTS Ageing Research Collaborative, it's a research group that brings together experts from all across UTS and they come together with their expertise, be it from business like myself, but from design, from law, from architecture, from health, from engineering. We're bringing this multidisciplinary kind of group of experts together to develop evidence-based solutions to what we see as kind of the biggest problems in ageing and aged care, particularly in Australia.

I'm Gwenda Darling. I'm 72 in February. I'm very frank and fearless in what I believe, and I'll say what I believe, and rather passionate, I think as well, I'm very passionate. I believe you can tell the value of a society by the way they treat their elders.

We need to work with younger people who will be designing and creating the aged care programmes of the future. Being involved in the work at UTS that the Ageing and Research Collaborative are doing really inspires me and helps me. Institutions like UTS and business schools are creating the future, and that's important that we get aged care right.

That's what I've been fighting for years. And if we have institutions that listen, we can help shape and mould the future. We pull together data that might be workforce data, financial data, quality and safety data, demographic data to develop independent, robust evidence, analysis and commentary about the most pressing problems, the challenges that we can see coming, and also the changes that are coming online as the sector develops year on year.

When I'm 70 or 80 and may require those services, I would like it that the system is at a state where it's something that provides reassurance that people will be receiving care and support that can help them age as their needs change.

If business doesn't serve society, who does it serve? So what's the role of business in that? How do we kind of figure in this broader role? How does that relate to issues of the ageing crisis? So if you look at these big problems that exist in the world, business is at the heart of them, and business has to be a part of the solution as well. We see our role as creating a new generation of people who work in business and a new generation of business leaders who can take on these challenges directly and be aware of them and really change the world.

00:00:00,380 --> 00:00:02,520
Throughout my career in retail fashion,

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:03,700
I've seen opportunities

3
00:00:03,700 --> 00:00:07,020
to move the industry towards
a more sustainable model.

4
00:00:07,020 --> 00:00:09,600
I wanted to play a bigger
role in that shift,

5
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:10,780
but I needed the skills

6
00:00:10,780 --> 00:00:12,640
and knowledge to lead with confidence.

7
00:00:13,580 --> 00:00:15,460
That's when I spoke to UTS.

8
00:00:15,460 --> 00:00:17,600
They recognised my professional experience

9
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,201
and opened the door for
me to begin the MBA.

10
00:00:20,201 --> 00:00:22,821
It felt like an opportunity
to take my experience

11
00:00:22,821 --> 00:00:24,901
and turn it into a chance
to change the future.

12
00:00:25,741 --> 00:00:26,574
UTS being in the heart of
the city made it easy

13
00:00:26,574 --> 00:00:27,407
to come to class after work.

14
00:00:30,021 --> 00:00:33,281
Being here on campus has
been central to my journey.

15
00:00:33,281 --> 00:00:36,661
It's where I built friendships,
found a sense of belonging,

16
00:00:36,661 --> 00:00:38,242
and gained new perspectives

17
00:00:38,242 --> 00:00:40,082
by learning from others' experiences.

18
00:00:41,122 --> 00:00:45,282
The flexibility at UTS has
been essential, allowing me

19
00:00:45,282 --> 00:00:47,602
to balance study with my responsibilities

20
00:00:47,602 --> 00:00:49,902
as a national manager for
a leading fashion brand.

21
00:00:50,882 --> 00:00:53,342
The support from my lecturers
has made it possible

22
00:00:53,342 --> 00:00:56,123
to manage both without compromise.

23
00:00:56,123 --> 00:00:57,643
The learning has been hands-on

24
00:00:57,643 --> 00:00:59,763
and given me a new way of thinking.

25
00:00:59,763 --> 00:01:00,596
I've been able to shape my
MBA around what matters most to me,

26
00:01:00,596 --> 00:01:01,429
which is gaining a deeper
understanding of leadership

27
00:01:06,543 --> 00:01:08,303
and the confidence to make decisions

28
00:01:08,303 --> 00:01:10,723
that create impact far
beyond the bottom line.

29
00:01:11,823 --> 00:01:14,403
Completing my MBA has
opened doors to industries

30
00:01:14,403 --> 00:01:17,224
and opportunities I
never imagined possible.

31
00:01:17,224 --> 00:01:19,244
It hasn't just expanded my career.

32
00:01:19,244 --> 00:01:21,724
It's made me a stronger,
more valuable leader

33
00:01:21,724 --> 00:01:23,444
to every team I work with.

34
00:01:23,444 --> 00:01:27,164
At UTS, I learned that business
can be more than profit.

35
00:01:27,164 --> 00:01:29,544
It can shape a sustainable future.

36
00:01:29,544 --> 00:01:32,704
With the confidence to lead
on a global scale, I'm ready

37
00:01:32,704 --> 00:01:34,125
to help change business for good.
