In fact, most of our diplomas take you straight into the second year of your UTS degree, while our graduate certificates take you to the second semester of your UTS master's degree. So you're not wasting any time at all! Choose from diplomas in the areas of business, communication, design & architecture, engineering, information technology or science and graduate certificates in the areas of accounting and finance, communication, and technology practice.

Whether you’re an international student adjusting to a new education system, or an Australian student seeking additional support, we want you to thrive while studying with us. That’s why we’ve designed a robust framework of support services tailored specifically to meet the needs of every student.

All support services are freely accessible to all UTS College students, and include our Learning Support Program, one-on-one tutorials, study skills workshops, and full-time dedicated Student Success Advisers. We also offer Studiosity, which provides anytime, anywhere academic support, live chat with tutors, and writing feedback within 24 hours. 

Plus, our classes are kept small – with no more than 20 students in one tutorial, giving you a more personalised learning experience. 

Our diploma and Pre-Master's courses are designed in collaboration with UTS. This means the educational outcomes for diploma and Pre-Master students are the same as for first year students studying a UTS undergraduate degree, or for first semester students studying a UTS master's degree respectively. So you're getting the same world-class university standards right from day one of your studies.

Plus all academic students have access to world-class facilities at UTS, including the library, 24-hour computer labs and hundreds of student clubs and associations.
