UTS courses are developed in consultation with industry partners and leading professionals, and provide a unique balance between theory and practice.

UTS is located in central Sydney, adjacent to the city’s vibrant commercial and cultural hub and surrounded by the cosmopolitan districts of Darling Harbor and Chinatown.

An underground walkway connects UTS to Sydney’s Central Railway station providing students with direct access to the city’s beaches and outer suburbs through Sydney’s public transport network.
