First BASE (Belonging, Agency, Support, Engagement) Program 

The First BASE Program offers personalised support to students in their first year or new to UTS. However, it is OPEN TO ALL STUDENTS. The aim of the program is to help students settle into studying at UTS and set them up with the knowledge, skills, social connections and access to support needed for holistic success.

The First BASE Program has now finished for 2024.

Thank you to our wonderful First BASE Coaches for all your contributions to this program. Thank you to all the students who participated in the First BASE program. 

 

UTS Support Services for all students

 Hi my name is Nin and I’m a first year student and I’m doing medical science

Personally, I would 100% recommend the First BASE program

 I found it really helpful and I think you would too

Hey I’m Ashleigh

And I’m doing a Bachelor of Health Science and major in Public Health

For someone who’s failing or feels like they’re about to fail

HELPS would be a really good service

Even if it’s just to kind of drop in and talk to someone

You don’t need a booking or anything you can just like pop in

So earlier this year I attended the UTS HELPS workshop

Specifically how to write a report

Which is really good

And I’m looking forward to

Going to the other workshops that are coming up in this July

Hi I’m Myles

I would recommend U:PASS

Especially if you feel like you’re struggling in a subject

And you’re not passing your exams

I think it’s useful because it gives you key

Structured points to work on and develop your skills

Hi my name is Erika

I’m doing Bachelor of Advanced Science and I’m studying pre-medicine

Definitely recommend U:PASS to someone who’s already already failed the subject

And wants to redo the subject

Because at first I was also really struggling with statistics

And after going to U:PASS it really helped me understand the subject more

It was really helpful because I never studied statistics before in high school

And coming into uni was like

Really difficult for me to learn

Especially when I’ve never had experience with the subject

And with U:PASS

It really like

Slowed down the subject for me and I could understand everything so much better

Best of all they’re free and they’re here for everybody

And everyone can have access to it.
