    Our teaching

  • The term ‘Indigenous’ is used here to reflect UTS’s international perspective, which connects to Indigenous peoples of all nations and respectfully includes Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The term ‘Aboriginal’ reflects the cultural heritage of current Girra Maa staff and students, whose worldviews shape UTS's education, research and community engagement practice.
