Navigating the University of Technology Sydney Website for Courses
Click here to access UTS's handbook for a full list of courses with details. It includes important information and comprehensive details about course content and structure, subject and elective choices, attendance patterns, and credit-point requirements.
You can also refer to the Subjects Guide by Faculty for courses commonly taken by study abroad students.
Couple of notes to keep in mind:
- In Australia, the fall (autumn) semester occurs in the first half of the year (February to June). Spring semester occurs in the second half of the year (July to November).
- Some courses may have pre-requisites requiring students to have already completed specific courses or equivalents at a lower level. As a study abroad student, you are not expected to have taken the specific pre-requisite requirement, but you must have studied a relevant or similar course/module in your home country/institution. You should take previous academic experience into account when making course choices.
- Some courses may have co-requisites, which means that the course and the co-requisite must be taken at the same time. If no pre-requisites or co-requisites are specified, then courses should be open to all students.
- At UTS, courses are validated at a level corresponding to a particular year of study. The levels are as follows:
- L1 (Level 1), which is equivalent to the 1st year of an undergraduate degree (similar to 100 level, introductory level)
- L2 (Level 2) which is equivalent to the 2nd year of an undergraduate degree (similar to 200 level, prior knowledge is required)
- L3 (Level 3) which is equivalent to the 3rd year of an undergraduate degree (similar to 300 level, advanced level)
- L4 (Level 4) which is equivalent to the 4th year of an undergraduate degree (similar to 400 level, advanced level)
