Global Mobility

This is a flagship degree that can be combined with all UTS degrees, allowing students to study a language and culture first and then spend a period abroad; either year-long (honours); a session of Global Exchange, or a Global Short Program.

Exchange programs are opportunities for all UTS students to study abroad for one or two sessions, build global knowledge and gain skills for credit back to their UTS degree.

Short programs allow students the opportunity to learn abroad for credit, usually for 2-6 weeks. Students can study at a partner's summer program, learn a language, take a global internship, a virtual program or a work integrated learning experience. Some short programs may be designed by a Faculty, such as a field study or global studio with specific academic goals and learning in mind.

Australia has taken pride in promoting a distinctive two-way flow of students between Australia and the Indo-Pacific region through the New Colombo Plan. The plan is a signature initiative of student mobility and a prominent pillar of public diplomacy through which Australian students are positioned as ambassadors when it comes to general connections between Australia and the region.

UTS welcomes students from around 50 countries across the globe to study in Sydney for one or two sessions, across all faculties and study areas. We work closely with our exchange and study abroad partner universities and recruitment partners, to ensure a memorable and successful study period at UTS for students.  Students receive credit from their studies at UTS towards their home institution degree.

UTS provides financial support for students encourage student global experiences by managing a range of scholarships, travel grants and more.
