6 reasons to choose health at UTS

A career that won't disappear

The health industry is Australia’s largest employer. And that’s not likely to change, despite the advancement of automated technologies that are rapidly transforming the world of work.

In fact, employment in health care and social assistance is projected to grow by 301,000 (or 15.8%) over the five years to November 2026.^

So, invest in a career that’ll always give back to you. And do it at a uni that trains health professionals prepared for the future workforce.

And, you’ll learn from the best. Our teachers and lecturers are practising professionals. So not only will you have access to new buildings, new equipment, and cutting-edge technologies, you’ll learn from experts who are leaders in their field.
