Getting in
How to apply
Ready to take the first step in your UTS journey?
Here’s what you need to know.
Getting in
When it comes to getting in to UTS, how we assess your application depends on the
type of applicant you are:
– If you’re a recent school leaver, we’ll look at your selection rank (a combination
of your ATAR/IB score plus any adjustment points you receive).
– If you’re a non-recent school leaver, we’ll look at your selection rank, which
may come from your ATAR/IB score or post-secondary studies, plus any relevant
work experience or additional selection criteria required for your course.
– If you’re an Indigenous student, you can apply to UTS via the standard UAC
process or through the UTS Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education and
Research. The Jumbunna team will assess your application and either offer you
a place in your preferred degree or in a pathway program that will prepare you to
get the most out of uni life.
Please note: This guide is not intended for international students. Please visit
uts.edu.au/international for more information on how to apply.
