• Does the Schools Recommendation Scheme apply to Communications courses?

  Yes, we participate in the Schools Recommendation Scheme (SRS) and offer several other entry schemes.  
   
  Visit Schools Recommendation Scheme for more information.

• 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 apply for a course without an ATAR/IB as a domestic applicant?

  You can still apply for UTS without an ATAR/IB.  
   
  Depending on your circumstances, you may be eligible to apply using an admissions pathway.  
   
  If you have previous study or work experience, this may be considered in your application and you may be eligible for credit through recognition of prior learning (RPL). 

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