How to apply

Undergraduate

All undergraduate courses have an Autumn Session (February) intake and many also have a Spring Session (August) intake.

Domestic applicants

Year 12 applicants

Your ATAR will determine your eligibility for entry into our undergraduate courses. Search the ATAR cut-offs for students who commenced this year.

If you fall short of the 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 Year 12 IT Questionnaire. Even if you fall 3 points short of the cut-off ATAR 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' and must meet the admission criteria. You are strongly advised to include details of relevant work experience on your UAC application.

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.

You need to meet our minimum English language requirements.

Educational access schemes & admission pathways

UTS has a number of educational access schemes to ensure people from a wide range of backgrounds have the opportunity to access our courses.

There are also various admission pathways, including UTS College, TAFE NSW or another university.

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.
