The Accessibility Service is UTS’s central contact point for all students living with one or more disabilities, medical or mental health conditions. Prospective and current students can meet with an accessibility consultant for individual advice on support services available to assist in meeting students’ access requirements.

Work based learning at UTS
Work based learning or practice based learning (WBL) is a key part of many degree programs at UTS and can include clinical placements, professional experience and internships that are completed as part of the course. The main course areas with work based learning requirements at UTS include:
- nursing and midwifery
- teacher education
- clinical psychology, pharmacy, orthoptics, physiotherapy
- courses with internships, such as engineering
Students who may need to request adjustments to WBL should ensure they register with the UTS Accessibility Service and any requests for reasonable adjustments for placements/WBL will need to be supported by specific and current documentation from a health professional. For more information, contact the UTS Accessibility Service and refer Student Accessibility Procedure.
