(gentle music) - As a data analyst, I solve real life problems every day, whether it be reviewing IT or overall controls or building fundamental restructures.

- I work with amazing people every day. I work with phenomenal minds. I'm working in a really interesting field that's just progressing constantly.

- It's important to me to take an active role in helping the environment. - Working in the environmental industry is really interesting because I get exposure to a lot of different people and help them to work in a way that is more sustainable or that helps reduce their impact on the environment. - For as long as I can remember, I've always had a passion for the ocean. Ever since I was a kid, I remember taking my snorkels, my fins, and just being one with the waves. Ever since then, I've wanted to incorporate my inquisitive nature with my passion, and marine biology has essentially been able to do that for me.

- I've always had an inquisitive way of looking at the world. I've loved how things function on the molecular level, and to me nanotechnology is the bringing together of physics and chemistry, and as an emerging field, it really appealed to me. -

Typical study program

The below program shows a student who has selected the German Language and Culture major, and completing the Language, Culture & the Professional World pathway or the International Honours pathway.

All students at UTS pay tuition fees to contribute towards the cost of their studies.

In 2024 all offers made to domestic undergraduate students will be forCommonwealth Supported Places (CSP), which means that the Australian government makes a substantial contribution towards the cost of your education, and you pay the balance through student contributions.

The amount you pay depends on your area of study and the number of credit points (cp) in which you enrol. At UTS 48 credit points is considered to be one Equivalent Full Time Study Load (EFTSL).

The table to the right shows the amount a student can expect to pay for one year of full-time study (1.0 EFTSL).

Students can choose to pay their student contribution upfront, or if eligible, can defer their fees throughHECS-HELP.

In addition to tuition fees, students are required to pay aServices and Amenities Fee(SSAF). The purchase of textbooks and other course materials may also result in additional cost.

You can calculate your student contribution as a percentage of the amounts shown on the table. Fee rates are divided into four bands covering broad discipline areas. It is important to note that a particular subject within a course may fall within a different band.

For example, if you are enrolled in a6-credit point Architecture subject, your contribution would be6/48 x $8,948 = $1,118.
