Student support and mentoring

We offer a range of student support services to assist you while you're studying at UTS.

Academic assistance is available to ensure your learning is well supported. Our Academic Mentoring Program provides one-on-one, staff-to-student support for students who have experienced severe challenges during their studies.

We also work closely with the Careers Service to provide regular career seminars and information sessions for our students, including resume writing and application workshops, and careers in law information sessions.

Our Director (Students) provides pastoral care to undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as academic advice on course progression. Working in close partnership with the Law Students’ Society, the Director also oversees our mentoring programs.
