The University of Technology Sydney (UTS) has set a groundbreaking precedent as the first Australian university to deliver online postgraduate programs entirely in Modern Standard Chinese, exclusively to learners outside Australia.
Through an innovative collaboration with CinLearn, UTS introduces the Master of Technology Innovation (MTI) and Master of Business Analytics (MBAn), empowering Chinese professionals to access world-class education without the need to relocate.
The programs launched in May 2025 and respond to a growing demand among Chinese learners for flexible, high-quality international education that fits around their work and personal commitments. By removing the barriers of relocation and language, UTS is opening doors for learners who aspire to advance their careers with a globally respected qualification — without leaving their home country.
“These programs reflect UTS’s commitment to innovation in education and our ambition to make world-class learning accessible to students, wherever they are,” said Professor Kylie Readman, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education and Students). “We’re proud to be the first Australian university to offer online postgraduate programs in Chinese for offshore students.”
The courses are developed and delivered by UTS academics and learning designers, ensuring the academic rigour and excellence students of UTS have come to expect. CinLearn, an affiliate of Cintana Education, plays a pivotal role in this partnership by managing marketing, student applications, admissions, and providing 24/7 support from China. With a proven track record supporting institutions like Arizona State University and Universidad Europea de Madrid, CinLearn brings deep expertise and local insight to the collaboration.
“This partnership is a significant milestone for Chinese professionals seeking to upskill in a competitive job market,” said Siyan Li, CEO of CinLearn. “Postgraduate qualifications are highly valued in China, and degrees from a top-tier Australian university like UTS are especially attractive to learners who want a flexible, high-quality education experience.”
The programs are exclusively available to students located outside of Australia. For more information or to apply, visit utsonline.cn.
