• 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.

• I have a previous qualification in a different field – will this support my application?

  If you have studied a previous qualification, it can be considered for admissions purposes. Visit admissions and eligibility for more information.

  You may also be eligible for credit towards your new course through recognition of prior learning (RPL).

• 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).

• What happens if I don’t get the selection rank?

  Your ATAR isn’t the only determining factor to entry into UTS. There are additional adjustments given to students who complete relevant HSC subjects, which can add up to five additional bonus points.

  You can also complete the Engineering and IT Portfolio (Year 12) questionnaire to demonstrate your strong motivation to study engineering and IT. If you fall short of the Selection Rank by 1–3 points, we will still consider your application.

• 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.
