Year 12 applicants
Your ATAR determines your eligibility for admission to our courses. Search the ATAR cut-offs for students who commenced this year.
If you fall short of the required cut-off, you could still potentially gain admission to one of our courses with the Year 12 Subject Scheme.
We also encourage you to complete the Engineering and IT Portfolio (Year 12). Even if you fall 3 points short of the ATAR cut-off, we will still consider your application!
Non-Year 12 applicants
If you are not completing Year 12 this year, you are considered a 'non-current school leaver'. There are admissions criteria for non-current school leavers. As part of your UAC application, we advise you to include details of any relevant work experience.
International applicants
If you are not an Australian or New Zealand citizen or Australian permanent resident and are not completing Year 12 at an Australian high school or TAFE, you need to apply through UTS International.

Non-award and cross-institutional study
Non-award study: Enrol one subject at a time
Non-award study refers to enrolment in subjects which do not count towards a formal award course at UTS. Non-award study may be undertaken out of personal interest, or to upgrade knowledge/skills in a specific area. It may be possible to credit subjects completed on a non-award basis to a relevant award course at a later date. See application procedures and closing dates for non-award study.
Cross-institutional study
Cross-institutional study refers to enrolment in subjects at UTS for credit towards an award course at another Australian university in which the student is enrolled. See application procedures and closing dates for cross-institutional study.
