University of Technology Sydney - Ultimo, New South Wales

Space management is very weak and an overlooked area. While some of the buildings facing the Main Street present a more attractive appearance, there are concerns regarding the overall state of the campus. Certain areas of the building are experiencing water leakage, and some classrooms show signs of wear and tear, including peeling paint. This gives the space an outdated feel, reminiscent of the 1980s. Additionally, the lighting in several key areas is not optimal.

Research capability is not strong either. Furthermore, it is worth noting that many academics at the university have limited publication records, which suggests that research output may not be as strong as one would expect from an institution of this calibre. It is a challenge to promote its rank further.

The last 3 months experience as a student has been great so far...

This university has online and physical classes, and both of them have insane courses that manage to capture you into a whole different world of learning, and the lectures and teachers are amazing.

The library has so many books with topics on everything and some great books like introduction to computer science and advanced guides for deepening your knowledge. At night, the building glows green.

The facilities are free, and you can rent rooms with three or 4 monitors with high-end graphics and specs included with the tuition. They have unreal engine, blenders, and more to further expand on coding and 3d modelling.

It is a wonderful university and it I'd easily a 5/5

Very disappointed with my experience at UTS. In 2024 due to some personal medical circumstances I was excluded from academic progression into my chosen course (midwifery). This was due to not withdrawing from my subjects before census date so the university was under the impression that I was studying there when I wasn’t due to my circumstances. I appealed to the university to allow me to continue my studies in 2025, however the appeal ended up being unsuccessful as according to the uni I was not progressing as I should be, even though I wasn’t even studying in the first place. Leaving a negative review here because I think that the university, and others like it in nsw, should have better policies around academic exclusions and special considerations for students. I am being held back by one year to serve my period of academic exclusion, and I hope other students don’t have to go through what I did.

What a University. When I first finished my HSC I was reluctant to go UTS and chose Macquarie instead. Although my experience at Macquarie was amazing nothing beats UTS. They are amazing!

I am almost finished studying a Bachelor of Engineering in Mechatronics Engineering. If you are considering this stream consider UTS for their world class labs and teaching team. I chose UTS over UNSW and I have no regrets.

Another important to not is that UTS has incredible accessibility resources, supporting you through your studies with your own consultant and clinical Psychologist.

They also invest in their tech for the students, meaning you will get your own licenses for all your computer software, makes a huge difference.

The social life is great too, I was a part of Engineers Without Borders and I had the time of my life. If you want to get on the beers, the Underground Bars has events on here and there.

Overall my experience has been great, I have paused my studies for now but I'm looking forward to returning.

Thank you UTS for being with me through my tough times.

The University of Technology has modern facilities and sufficient student support. Many lounge rooms and tea rooms can be found in the faculty buildings. The Ultimo campus is within walking distance of the Central train station and plenty of shopping and dining options. It's also a short bus ride to the University of Sydney campus. My empirical experience is that the courses of UTS are well and practically designed.

I am a mature student currently undertaking my first course in Property Economics. I have completed three subject and am in the process of trying to finish another. Due to being overseas, I was unable to complete the last subject, but I informed my student advisor that I would do so in 2025. However, I recently received an email instructing me to apply for a leave of absence, and my advisor mentioned leaving a message for me, which I never received. It seems to have been an oversight. I was than withdrawn from the course.

I have been making significant efforts to rectify this situation, but I am now required to reapply for the course. The possibility of receiving credits for the subjects is being considered. I was directed to submit an online form from UTS, but I only received an automated response stating that they are unable to assist with reapplication.

As an adult who has not studied for over 25 years, I found the overall experience to be unsatisfactory. When I reached out to my lecturers regarding disappointing results, there was no follow-up on how I could improve or what steps to take next. It appeared that once the payment was made, they moved on without providing necessary support. For those considering online courses, I advise rethinking this choice as the lack of personalized attention is concerning.

Speaking to other students would likely reveal similar feedback. It seems that the institution prioritizes other matters over the individual student's academic journey. Despite my disappointment, I will move forward. The lack of flexibility and accountability in this situation is disappointing. Fortunately, my life experience surpasses that of a master's degree.

Carpe Diem.
