UTS College is their way to UTS.

 Whether your child is a current high school student exploring future options, or a recent school leaver looking to change courses or study plans, UTS College can help.

We offer a direct pathway into the second year of most UTS degrees, alongside a small, supportive, and diverse community. This helps your child transition confidently from high school to university, or readjust after time away from studies.

Many of our graduates describe their time with us as “the best first-year uni experience.”

We can make it your child’s best year too!

I wish I had known about UTS College (sooner)...I could have used that information when I was speaking with Tahlia. It would've made it a lot easier to reassure her that, 'Hey, you've got these opportunities that you can look at.'
