We’re Australia’s first dedicated space for transdisciplinary education, research and partnerships.

Our expertise is in addressing the most pressing issues of our time in creative, strategic and sustainable ways.  

We do this by activating collaborations between students, academics and partners with diverse perspectives and wide-ranging experiences. 

Transdisciplinary is: When great minds don’t think alike.

Transdisciplinary thinking builds bridges between fields of study and expertise. Our students, researchers and partners are better placed to address the most pressing challenges of our times.

We’re driven to tackle problems that matter by integrating expertise from diverse academic disciplines.

We take a unique approach to partnerships. Join our innovation ecosystem and collaborate with our students and academics.

What is transdisciplinarity? It's a movement. A paradigm shift. It's radical collaboration. It's a way of thinking differently across, between, and beyond all our disciplines. It's a realisation that we have to work together to tackle the complex challenges of our time. Challenges that don't really sit neatly within disciplines. TD School invites you to help pioneer this movement, build upon the strengths of your discipline, and team up with our researchers to accelerate discoveries. Join our award-winning learning revolution. Support the extraordinary transformation of our students. Engage with over 2,000 industry, community, and government partners. Collaborate in an innovation ecosystem like no other. We're for the curious. The change makers. The people who see possibilities. TD School. Exclusive to UTS.

If your current uni, course or career path doesn’t feel like the right fit, a fresh start at UTS could be just what you need. Hear from three students who decided to make the move to UTS, choosing degrees and a university experience that matched their goals.

Stefan Hall was a teacher – until he wasn’t. Having spent 10 years teaching maths at schools across Queensland, Stefan wanted a career path in which he could indulge his love for numbers and develop the skills to contribute to widespread change.

As a kid, UTS graduate Marcus Billingham-Yuen wanted to be a Lego designer. Now an advertising professional, his day-to-day life as Client Strategy Lead for News Corp is spent building colourful, creative and often unexpected solutions for his clients.
