“I chose UTS because the double degree programs are unique and allow me to get two Masters degrees in two years. Compared with the USA or Europe I get a really high quality of education for much better value.”

“The thing that really impressed me was the lecturers, they have extensive industry and professional experience and some of my lecturers have worked in the best and biggest companies around. It makes a huge difference having a teacher that knows the industry so well.”

“Overseas, in the USA and Europe, you are only taught very conventional western methodologies but here you get a real international education. You get that traditional grounding in addition to many different perspectives and theories particularly from Asia and Japan.”

“Sydney is great, I’ve travelled a lot and I think Sydney is the best city I have ever been in. You’ve got beaches, you’ve got history, partying, food and festivals. If it all gets too much and you can go to the bush and camp, it is just so diverse. Being at UTS I’m right in the middle of it all.”

“I live in Chatswood, it is a nice quiet place, but still quite close to the city. I want to start a family and it’s a really family oriented place.”

“UTS has a really nice atmosphere and is pleasant to study in. It’s really easy to get to and coming to Uni doesn’t feel like a chore.”

“Two of my friends from Colombia have already applied to UTS because of my recommendations.”

“The UTS legal service is very helpful. They gave me free advice and guidance and helped me get the best possible result.”
