inpUTS
Increase your chances of getting into UTS by applying for inpUTS, our educational access scheme.
It's available to students who have experienced long-term disadvantage, impacting on their results in school, vocational or university education. -
Student Profiles
On average, 50 per cent of commencing undergraduate students at UTS are non-current school leavers, meaning they haven't come down the traditional path of attending university directly after high school. There is no ‘one’ way it has to be done.

Pathways to UTS - video transcript
Kristen Wren
Bachelor of Business
Diploma of Hospitality Management
Speaker 1: Uni and UTS was a big scary thing for me when I was in high school. I never thought that I would get into uni and I didn’t think that I was capable of being a uni student.
Mohamed Sesay:
UTS Bachelor of Engineering Diploma in Engineering Practice
TAFE Diploma of Engineering - Technical
Speaker 2: During my application I understood that UTS provide inpUTS access scheme, through UAC. Looking at inpUTS, it’s more focused on students like me who have disadvantage, coming from a non-English speaking background.
Speaker 1: I was able to secure credit recognition with UTS, which is equivalent to four fulltime subjects. One whole semester of work.
Thomas Do
Bachelor of Business
Diploma of Hospitality Management
Speaker 3: So combining TAFE and university studies was financially beneficial for me because I was able to get credit recognition coming to university. As well I have the added benefit on graduating with dual qualifications, so I have my diploma from TAFE as well as my degree.
Sumnima Dewan
Bachelor of Arts in Communication (Journalism)
Diploma of Community Welfare
Speaker 3: For me, having two years’ experience at TAFE, I knew what to expect and that made me more confident.
Speaker 2: I’m really in the right place where I can fulfil and pursue my dream as a student.
Speaker 1: So now that I am a uni student and I am one of those people in the UTS Tower building that everyone can see from Central, I feel really proud of myself that I’m somebody that could do it.
