Why engineering at UTS?

Shape your future

Career advancement

UTS: Engineering has a solid reputation for rigorous, industry relevant and highly practical education.

A postgraduate qualification from UTS will enable you to take your career to the next level, whether you want to move up the management ladder, deepen your technical skills – or both.

Management – by engineers, for engineers

Our postgraduate management courses have been designed by professionals and academics with a thorough knowledge of management in technical environments. Subjects are taught with real-life examples relevant to your profession, by people who understand the industry.

All courses are reviewed regularly by our industry advisory network (IAN) which ensures that they remain completely in line with current industry practice. UTS: Engineering has live connections with institutions around the world, such as MIT (opens an external site), through adjunct professors, collaborative research and technology sharing. This means that our teaching is always up to date with the latest developments in the field, nationally and internationally.

Flexible, so you don't have to be

UTS understands that you need to fit your studies around work, and you can vary your attendance pattern and delivery to suit your schedule. All courses are available part or full-time, and you can vary the number of subjects you take per semester if you have more or less time available to study.

Courses are delivered through a combination of:

• Distance learning

  Normally requires no attendance on campus. Contact and assessment is by email, fax, phone or UTSOnline.

  Find out more about studying by distance mode.

• Block attendance

  Normally means you will attend campus for a block of full-day study, usually three blocks of 1.5 days per semester per subject.

• Weekly attendance

  Normally means you will attend campus weekly for one class of two or three hours per subject per semester. Most classes are held during the evening.

Delivery options vary by subject, and not all delivery modes are available for all subjects.

Convenient attendance

The UTS City campus is just 10 minutes walk from Central station – convenient from wherever you live or work.

Recognition of your previous studies and experience

If you have completed an engineering or general postgraduate degree prior to embarking on a UTS: Engineering postgraduate course, you can apply to have your previous studies credited towards your qualification. Students who have completed a previous postgraduate degree can apply for a maximum of 12 credit points (two subjects) to be credited. UTS Bachelor of Engineering students can elect to take up to four postgraduate subjects as part of their degree and apply for a maximum of 18 credit points to be credited towards their masters.

UTS recognises that you may have developed your skills through on-the-job training, vocational training or a combination of both. In this case, your prior learning can still be taken into account. Your likely pathway is to begin with a graduate certificate and, on successful completion, to articulate to a masters program with no time lost.

The majority of our courses are fully articulated, meaning that you can begin with a four subject (24 credit point) graduate certificate and apply to have your points credited towards an appropriate masters. Or, if you complete the first 24 credit points of the masters and find your circumstances have changed, you may still graduate with a graduate certificate.
