About U@Uni Academy

Take a look at our visual map to walk through each step of the two-year program and see how your journey could take shape.

Applications are managed through each participating school (see list of partner schools). Applications open for Year 11 students of partner schools from around March each year. Please note that places are limited. Speak to your school to find out more.

In order to successfully complete the U@Uni Academy and receive an offer to study at UTS through the program, students must:

1. Successfully complete the HSC
   • Undertake HSC pattern of study (however, you don’t have to be on an ATAR pathway). See the NSW Education Standards Authority NESA Rules and Procedures Guide for HSC pattern of study requirements. Note that life skills courses are not considered eligible.
   • Sit all HSC exams, including optional exams for VET and category B subjects.
   • Pass the minimum standards exam.
2. Attend 75% of all U@Uni Academy program activities
3. Demonstrate achievement and progress through the U@Uni Academy experience. This involves online submissions demonstrating achievements in capabilities such as collaboration, creativity and critical thinking. Specific online submission requirements will be communicated during the program.
4. Complete a personal statement. At the end of the two years we want you to tell us what you learned while in the Academy, and what your aspirations are for university. Completing this personal statement is included as part of the U@Uni Academy process, and assistance will be provided to students in putting this together.
