Got a question?
Do I need a bachelor's degree?
The traditional path to postgraduate study is via a completed bachelor's degree, but if you have other qualifications and professional experience (around 5 years) you may be eligible to enter a Graduate Certificate.
A graduate certificate sets you on the path to postgraduate study. It may be taken as a separate award or used to articulate into a graduate diploma or masters degree.
How much will it cost?
Postgraduate study is a big investment in your future, not just financially, but in time as well. Tuition fees are determined by its credit points and course in which you are enrolled and the credit point value of the subjects.
To calculate an approximate course fee, multiply the total credit points for your course by the fee per credit point. You can calculate your course fees using the UTS Course Fee Calculator.
Is there a student loan system for postgraduate students?
Yes. You may qualify for FEE HELP, a government loan scheme for Australian students. It allows you to defer some or all of your fees depending on your income. You repay the loan through your tax, so the amount you pay per year depends on how much you earn.
Can I study part time?
Yes. All postgraduate courses are available full time or part time. Class times are designed for busy professionals, with most courses delivered in block mode. Class time can be calculated using the timetable planner.
How much time should I dedicate to study?
Class time can be calculated using the timetable planner. You may also be required to spend additional hours on individual or group study and project work. Our buildings are open 24/7, with award-winning spaces that makes this much easier to manage.
Can I receive Recognition of Prior Learning for my previous studies?
All applicants are assessed individually based on relevant tertiary qualifications and/or evidence of learning outcomes demonstrated through appropriate work experience.
