Why built environment

From environmental resilience to social justice, social enterprise and industry transformation, we’ll equip you with the fundamental theory, hands-on practice and research-inspired learning you’ll need to deliver transformational change in your future career.

Quality connections

First you need to learn, then you need to do. At UTS, we’ll connect you with the teachers and industry leaders who can help you excel at both. Our teaching team is made up of built environment professionals who run companies, sit on boards and create new knowledge that sits at the intersection of research and professional practice.

Alongside your interactions with these leaders in the field, you’ll also gain access to more than 150 industry partners whose collaborations with UTS are transforming the built environment.

Disruptive technologies

Our revitalised campus is home to world-class tech, from industry-standard tools to the latest innovations. In class, you’ll work with leading programs like Autodesk Revit, ARGUS EstateMaster and Microsoft Project, depending on your course.
