Do you need to update your skills or learn some specific new skills to progress your career?

Why not look at some of the short courses or single subjects offered by UTS:Engineering.

SINGLE SUBJECTS/NON-AWARD STUDY

If you need to develop your skills in a specific area, you'll find that most subjects offered in the Faculty can be studied as a single subject (provided you have met the subject pre-requisites). Click here for a list of subjects with subject outlines.

In future, if you decide to undertake further study, you can use your UTS postgraduate engineering subjects to apply for Advanced Standing towards a Graduate Certificate in Engineering or one of our Masters programs (for a Masters program, the subjects chosen must meet the requirements of the Masters program).

To apply, simply complete the Non Award Study Application Form.
