Required Knowledge: The UTS College Diploma of Engineering accelerated (2 semester) and standard (3 semester) program is offered to students who have successfully completed Year 12 (or international equivalent) subjects in Mathematics and Physics. Chemistry is recommended only for the Biomedical major and Civil & Environmental major. (Students who do not meet the admission requirements may be considered for the extended program (4 semesters). The extended program includes three additional enabling subjects to ensure students have the core fundamentals before progressing onto more advanced subjects.) Students who attained their secondary education in a country other than Australia must have completed equivalent Mathematics subjects (plus Physics) in year 12, in order to qualify for the accelerated and standard program.
