Virtual Global Short Programs

Gain international perspectives from the comfort of your own home! 

UTS is excited to offer you an opportunity to participate in the Virtual Global Short Programs, making this an integral part of your degree and a complement to the programs that require physical travel overseas.  

Want to obtain an international experience during your studies at UTS to boost your employability, but can't travel overseas due to study, personal or work commitments? Looking for an affordable international program? Don’t have space in your degree to do for-credit programs? We’ve got you covered with Virtual Global Short Programs!

Virtual Global Short Programs include summer/winter schools at partner universities, global internships, language programs, cultural or entrepreneurship immersion experiences and various other opportunities. Please see our program database for the full range of virtual programs available. All our virtual programs are supported and endorsed by UTS faculties and therefore, if eligible, you may receive academic credit towards your degree at UTS and a scholarship to help with program fees.

Hi everyone.

My name is Jennifer, and I study the Bachelor of Health Science here at UTS.

My favourite thing about the Virtual Global Short Program was the new cultural experiences that forced me out of my comfort zone.

It was really refreshing to meet new people and speak to them about their experiences in countries beyond Australia.

There are endless opportunities in the international industry and the industry offers roles to people from different academic backgrounds. 

Whether you're studying law, science, arts, or even business, there are opportunities for growth and building connections in the Virtual Global Short Program.
