• Can I transfer to UTS from a different university?

  Yes, although you will need to apply. Application information is available for domestic applicants and international applicants.

   

  If you transfer to UTS, you may be able to receive credit towards your new course based on your previous study through recognition of prior learning (RPL).

• Can I defer my study?

  Whether you can defer depends on several factors. Some courses do not allow you to defer, and you cannot defer if you commence your course in the Spring or Summer session.

  Visit deferring an offer for more information.

• Is it possible to study part time?

  Domestic applicants can study part time by enrolling in a less than full-time study load. Visit study load for more information.

  If you’re an international student on a student visa, you must maintain a full-time study load. If you want to study part time, apply for permission to reduce your study load.

• Is PLT offered online or on campus?

  From 2026 onwards, PLT will consist of a blended course with:

  • Compulsory on-campus workshops, typically in intensive blocks, including assessments
  • Online learning components (readings, discussion board).

  
  It will not be entirely online due to accreditation requirements.

• Can I study a UTS subject if I’m a student at another university?

  Yes, although you will need to apply. If you’re studying at a different university, cross-institutional study allows you to enrol in UTS subjects and receive credit for them towards your course.

  More information is available at cross-institutional study.

• Do I meet the eligibility requirements?

  Our programs come in different formats to suit your needs. If you’re interested in a master’s degree, you typically need a bachelor degree and at least 2 years of relevant work experience.

  If you don’t meet these requirements, you might be eligible for our Graduate Diploma or Graduate Certificate programs. Check the admission requirements on the course page.

• Can I register for a tour of the UTS campus?

• Do I need a bachelor degree to do a master’s degree?

  Postgraduate study typically requires a bachelor degree, but if you have approximately 8 years of professional experience, you may qualify for a Graduate Certificate. This certificate covers core subjects and serves as a pathway to a master’s degree.
