Please note the next application round is for UTS Spring 2025 (July - November 2025). For deadlines see key dates.

Before you apply for a study abroad or exchange program at UTS, check if you meet the entry requirements and understand how much it will cost.

Entry requirements

Academic

  • You must have completed one full year (60 ECTS) or more of study at a recognised institution at the time of application. If you have not completed one full year at a recognised institution, you can still apply if you meet the university’s international student entry requirements.
  • A ‘credit’ or ‘good’ average or a cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) of 2.5 on a 4.0 point scale, or average grade of ‘C’ or better on the European ECTS grading scale.
  • Contact studyabroad.exchange@uts.edu.au for more information, if you are graded under a different system, or if you’re coming straight out of high school.

English language

UTS has English language proficiency requirements for every course.

If English is not your first language, you'll need to submit results from an English language test or program that meets UTS English language proficiency requirement for the course (noted in the table below).
Note: Test scores must be less than 2 years old.

Alternative English language evidence for study abroad and exchange programs:

While UTS accepts the following alternative evidence for some students, keep in mind that the Australian Department of Home Affairs may still ask for a language test for your visa application.

  • Citizenship: If you're a citizen of and studying in one of these countries, you can apply to UTS with a UTS English Language Proficiency Assessment (PDF. 219kB): Austria, Belgium, Canada (Quebec), Denmark, France, Finland, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden or Switzerland.
  • Studied 1 Year in English at University Level: If you've completed one year of full-time study in a course taught in English at university, you can use that as evidence of English proficiency.
    Note: If this is not clearly stated on your transcript, you need to provide a supporting letter from your home university.
  • High School Completion: If you're a citizen of Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Finland, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden or Switzerland, and you completed high school there, a final mark of 75% higher in English is considered equivalent.

If you don't meet the requirements:

If you don't meet the English language requirements for Study Abroad or Exchange, you can apply for our Australian Language and Culture Studies Program, which requires an English language proficiency level of IELTS 6.0 and above or equivalent.

Additional entry requirements

Exchange students must be nominated by their home institution. The home institution must be a current Exchange partner with UTS.

Fees and living expenses

Tuition fees

Exchange students

If you come to UTS as an exchange student, you are not required to pay tuition fees to UTS, but will still pay your regular fees at your home university.

Study Abroad Program

The UTS Study Abroad Program (24 UTS credit points) tuition fee for 24 UTS credit points is:

  • 2025 - A$11,280 per session (A$470 per credit point)
  • 2026 - A$11,790 per session (A$491.25 per credit point)

The UTS Study Abroad 18 (18 UTS credit points, usually 3 UTS subjects*) tuition fee for 18 credit points is:

  • 2025 - A$8,460 per session (A$470 per credit point)
  • 2026 - A$8,842.50 per session (A$491.25 per credit point)

*UTS subjects are usually valued at 6 credit points each. Subjects in the UTS Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, some Law, and Transdisciplinary Innovation can be valued at 8 credit points each. A combination of 6 and 8 credit points subjects may result in study loads that differ from the standard 18 or 24 credit points. Study Abroad students can contact one of our Study Abroad advisers if you have queries about how this may impact on the tuition fee costs for your study choices. 

Important notes:

  1. Students enrolled in the UTS Study Abroad Program, or the UTS Study Abroad 18 Program, who undertake more subjects or credit points than included in the program of choice will incur an additional fee per credit point of enrolment. Tuition fees above the limits will be charged at A$450 per credit point in 2024 and A$470 in 2025.
  2. Tuition fees do not include the cost of your books or other course materials.
  3. Fees are subject to change at the beginning of each calendar year. If you are coming to UTS for two teaching sessions and you commence study in UTS Spring session (starting July), please be aware that the fee for the following UTS Autumn session (starting February/March) may increase.
  4. You are required to pay tuition fees as soon as you are accepted into your UTS Study Abroad program. 
  5. You or your representative should nominate your UTS Study Abroad program of choice at the point of application to UTS, by indicating ‘Study Abroad 24’, ‘Study Abroad 18’ in the online forms. Applications for transfer between these programs must be made in writing to UTS, and such transfers may not be permitted after teaching has started. 
  6. For more information about credit points at UTS, please see the Subjects and Academic Information webpage.

All applicants are encouraged to read the Protocol on refund of fees for international students before submitting an application.

Accommodation and living costs

All students must arrange their own accommodation in Sydney. UTS has a student residence called Yura Mudang, located on-campus, which is owned by the university and managed by the UTS Housing Service. UTS Housing offers a limited (150) number of beds exclusively for exchange and study abroad students.

UTS has also partnered with Scape (private provider) to offer an exclusive discount to UTS students on some of their residences. For other off-campus options, visit the UTS Housing webpage.

Visit our cost of living page to learn more about accommodation costs and other living costs in Sydney.

If you want to estimate your expenses according to your lifestyle, the Australian Government has created a cost of living calculator. Visit this Study Australia page (opens external site) to find out more.  

Health cover

International students in Australia on a student visa are required, as a condition of their visa, to maintain valid health insurance for the full length of their visa. In most cases this means maintaining Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC).

Note: students from some countries who have health cover in their home countries may be exempt from OSHC. For further information on which types of insurance are recognised for this exemption, visit the Department of Home Affairs website (opens an external site).

Scholarships, financial aid and home government funding

UTS offers merit-based Study Abroad Excellence Awards for commencing Study Abroad students. Selection is based on academic excellence in the most recently completed tertiary qualification recognised by UTS for entry in the Study Abroad program. A separate application is not required.

Students coming to study at UTS may also be able to secure financial aid, loans or scholarships from their home government.

If you are from Canada, Germany, Norway, United Kingdom, United States of America (USA) you may be eligible for some form of financial aid. Students from Denmark can also apply for living and fee support from their government, and German and Swedish students may also have some funding options.

If you are from China, Colombia, Ecuador, Indonesia, Mexico, Peru, Vietnam you may be eligible for a sponsorship or scholarship from your home government to cover tuition and/or living expenses.
