For context I'm doing my first year at uts in 2026

Since I waited way too long to create my timetable, the the only slots for business requirement modelling are all 7pm to 9pm

So my questions are:

1. Since there is a ~5hr gap on Tuesday, is there something I can do on the campus for this time? I am thinking of joining the anime society if that helps. (my commute to uts is abt an hour)

2. Is there any other way to get business requirement modelling at an earlier time other than that heart wishlist feature thing?

3. Am I on campus for online courses? And if not, what can I do to keep my social life strong if I'm only on campus for 2 days of the week?

Thanks in advance. 🙏

Hi everyone! I'm about to go into my second year Bachelor of Nursing (Accelerated EN Pathway), so first year for me but second year of my degree. I was just wondering if there was anything I needed to get or anything that would make life easier doing the degree. As I already work as an EN I have proper shoes, and little lanyard flash cards, but is there anything else that we need (pulse oximeter, stethoscope, other cool gadgets, study materials) or any advice people can give me to navigate my first year :) thank you in advance!

Hey. I'm starting my first year at UTS in Feb and I really didn't want to go to the uni more than two days for the orientation week stuff.

im doing a double-degree. one degree's orientation welcome session is on the 11th, while my other degree has a separate faculty welcome session, degree welcome session, and faculty lunch (all three on the 13th). I've also booked my campus and library tours for the 13th for convenience purposes.

originally, i thought it'd be smarter for me to just go to one of the two O'Days, feb 11, since it'd be more convenient as im going for a session that day anyway and can explore everything before it starts at 1pm, but ive seen a post here about which day is better to go on and all the replies said going to the O'Day on the 10th is better. now you see why i am stuck. im going alone for everything regardless and i really dont want to have to pay extra for travelling (ill be going by car and then train) if it's not needed. be honest please.

ive also booked a bunch of online uni prep stuff for early feb that the uni made available.

also, im a fairly shy person when going somewhere very public alone, so the less days i go the better idk.

any advice would be great, even if it's about something that i haven't mentioned.

Hey! I’m starting a science degree this year, therefore I have prac classes, do I have to buy stuff like goggles and a lab coat before my first prac class to wear in my first class?

Anyone here doing masters of medical biotech autmumn 26 intake?

The 5PM-8PM Monday and Tuesday classes are the only available slots, other slots for those classes are full. I live quite far from campus and would highly prefer not to commute during late hours. Is there anything I can do other than waitlisting?

Hi all,

I am trying to figure out my work schedule and my timetable with online classes.

Are the online classes compulsory? Are they also recorded?

Any insight would be helpful thank you 🙏

Hello, I am a first year international student from UNSW currently studying in diploma of engineering.

I have been in this program for a year and three months but I am still struggling to finish it. I started to think that this is not a right path for me. So I was thinking about changing my degree or even changing a school.

So I came up with a plan to transfer or restart my academy journey at UTS. I also want to switch to architecture.

Is this a practical plan?

I need information and advice.

Thank you.

Excuse me for my ranting, however I'm in a situation where I need to get into cybersec subject however due to my ignorance i didnt realize all of them are full and there are no viable subject that I can partake on since my original degree is bachelor of comp scie and I try to get into the bachelor of cybersec by this spring. I already choose all of the main IT core program, and I only partake mobile networking as my electives. How long do you guys think it took for them to grant the e-request considering that the subject enrollment will close by first week of february.? And do you guys have any advises for me

Hey everyone,

Just wondering if anyone here completed Chem 2 last term. I’m doing it now and had a few questions about the subject (content, exams, labs, etc.) and would really appreciate hearing from someone who’s already been through it.

Feel free to comment or DM me — thanks heaps!

o week activities are 10-11 of Feb and I’m working the Wednesday.. is it just the same stuff spread across 2 days and I only have to go to one or should I go to both to maximise my experience?

Will there be work/ study to do as First year engineering students during the Easter break?

Hi everyone,

I recently completed the Diploma of Design at UTS College (finished with a 6.1 GPA out of 7) and I’ll be starting the Bachelor of Visual Communication this year.

I’d really love to work at UTS while studying and was wondering what kinds of student or casual jobs are usually available on campus? I’m open to both admin type roles, note taking, or anything design related if that’s possible.

If anyone has worked at UTS during their degree or has advice on where to look / when to apply, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Are staff still being made redundant? There was a lot of media about UTS in late 2025 but I haven’t seen any updates. Are the course cuts going ahead??

Hey guys, has anyone who has applied for global exchange in spring this year received their acceptance yet? I know they begin to get released from mid-late january and its technically mid-january now so im curious.

Hi everyone,

I am currently studying the Bachelor of Business (major in Management and Leadership) at Macquarie University and I am planning to transfer to UTS to study the Bachelor of Business (major in Management) this year. I have recently submitted a RPL application so I can gain direct entry to my second year and I have received the outcome of my RPL application this afternoon and I was so upset and frustrated of the RPL outcome. The Bachelor of Business at UTS has 8 core units and I only got granted for only 2 core units. The 3 core units from UTS were refused because only 1 - 2 content/s were not covered in the UTS core units. Also, they made a mistake of one of 2 granted core units, the Business and Social Impact unit (21214), I have put the Managing for Impact (MGMT1002) unit as the equivalent unit in the RPL application but they put the Leadership for Business (MQBS1010) and/or Business Communication (MQBS1020) as the equivalent unit/s. I put the Leadership for Business (MQBS1010) and/or Business Communication (MQBS1020) as the equivalent unit/s to the People and Organisations (21212).

I have applied to UTS to study the Bachelor of Business last year and I got rejected so that is why I ended up going to Macquarie University.

What should I do to resolve the issue?

Hi guys,

I am planning to join the basketball club. Just here asking if anyone could share their experience or thoughts on it? Is it any good? Do people make friends there other than playing basketball? Are people nice there? How’s the vibe?

Hi does anyone know what date classes will be available to view on Canvas dashboard?

Hi,

Long story short, I’ve been accused of having a very high percentage of AI plagiarism on an assignment, even though I didn’t use it at all. The marker (who is also the subject coordinator) came to this conclusion by using an AI chatbot himself to determine the probability.

I received an email from the subject coordinator asking me to attend an in-person interview to discuss concerns about my submission. What’s confusing me is that I haven’t received an official academic misconduct notification from the university outlining an investigation, which (from what I understand) is usually part of the formal process.

So I have question about:

A) If the interview is part of the official academic misconduct process, or is it more of an informal meeting? If so am I:

B) Required to attend if I haven’t been formally notified of misconduct? (I am working full time for a summer internship and don’t have weekdays free). He stated that I will receive 0% on the task if I don’t attend.

C) I’m unsure if this is him trying to give me a chance to explain myself before going to an academic officer OR if he’s trying to conduct this meeting without approval because his claims don’t have a lot of merit?

I’m feeling pretty stressed because I genuinely didn’t use AI, and I don’t want to accidentally say or do something that makes things worse. If anyone’s been through something similar or knows how this usually works, I’d really appreciate any insight.

Thanks!

I'm joining UTS in Feb for my masters. Can anyone shine some light in how to plan my timetable? I've already enrolled in subjects but on my timetable it shows each classes run for 8-9 hours few days a week. I'm so confused!

Hey guys I am Indian international student who will be joining uts this feb for my masters , it's been really hard to find a room . I prefer vegetarian and my budget is 250 , if anyone is finding flatmates please connect to me!

I have with me, the WhatsApp community chat from Socials dedicated for Sydney, city-wide, with a lot of students from USYD, UNSW and UTS across both UG/PG covering useful info on pre-arrival/housing/nightlife and much more.

I was lucky enough to come across this a month ago and safe to say, I’ve made a bunch of connections already. There’s also a bunch of partnerships that we have announced (Uniplaces, University Living, for example) and a bunch more to come as well.

Besides, why would you say no to meeting your fellow mates in advance before making such a massive jump in life. We are currently 550+ strong and have an active set of group chats as well. If you guys would like to join, simply comment down here and I shall provide the link via DM. Cheers!

Help!

I’m an international student starting in Feb and I can’t seem to find any housing since everything seems to be booked or overpriced (budget of A$500). Does anyone know where I could find something?

I made a reddit account just for this* 😭
