If it’s been a little while since you've finished Year 12, you're not alone. Many students take time off before deciding what’s next. Whether you’ve been working, travelling, or just want to change direction, now could be the perfect time to start.
Enrol in a diploma at UTS College now and depending on the course you choose, you can be in the 2nd year of your dream UTS degree sooner than you think. Plus, we’ll offer you support every step of the way to ensure a smooth transition successfully back to studies.
Ready for what’s next?
At UTS College, you don’t need an ATAR to apply for most of our diplomas. Instead, we assess your eligibility based on your HSC subjects and results. This means your options may be broader than you think.
You’ll start your university journey in a more personal and supportive environment, with smaller classes, more one-on-one time with teachers, and practical learning that prepares you for success at UTS and beyond.
