At UTS you won’t just learn business theory. You'll also gain practical insights from researchers who are at the forefront of shaping the global business landscape. UTS is a very innovative university that integrates new technologies into my learning. I really valued the internship opportunities, the guest lectures and the chance to work on real world business problems.

And you’ll study in the heart of Australia's leading business, creative and entrepreneurial precincts right here on our city campus.
