Hi guys, we’re asking people what advice they have for new students starting at UTS. \ Keep on top of everything, make sure you know what’s coming.\ \ Really look into the schemes and scholarships, and just the financial assistance that UTS provides.\ \ Definitely get out of your comfort zone, talk to new people, like make new friends.\ \ Join a club, get involved in something that’s maybe different to what you’re used to doing.\ \ Say yes to every opportunity that comes around, you never know where it’s going to take you.\ \ Spend as much time on campus as possible, finding new spaces to study and to eat and spend time.\

Hi guys, we’re here at UTS and we’re asking people what’s their favourite place to study on campus and why?
Yeah, I’d say top of building 2 in the law section, good view, pretty quiet.
Penny lane which is between building 10 and 11 just because it’s so quiet.\ \ Probably like right here because you can have a break at pool or table tennis.\ \ Probably in like the quiet buildings, building 5.\ \ The library in that little area where all the books are, you can just sit on the floor.
Building 8, because it’s quiet, it’s air-conditioned.
Literally here in the garden, or on the rooftop of the library is a vibe.

Starting uni is confusing enough, but there’s a whole new language that comes along with it. Here’s a summary of some of our key terms to help you get your head in the game.
-
Adjustment factors (previously bonus points)
Numerical adjustments to your ATAR that can increase your selection rank and your chance of receiving an offer to study at university. You may be eligible for these points through initiatives like the Year 12 Subject Scheme, or if you're an elite athlete/performer, live in a regional or remote area, or have experienced socioeconomic disadvantage. - ### Admission pathway
If you don’t meet the requirements for direct entry into UTS, admission pathways offer an alternative route into your chosen degree. For example, you could complete your first year of study in another UTS course; complete a diploma at a VET provider; pursue a pathways program with UTS College, Jumbunna or Unistart; or complete relevant work experience, preparing you to re-apply to UTS with some more expertise under your belt. - ### Admission scheme
A process that can increase your chances of receiving an offer to UTS. Admission schemes consider a range of life circumstances that might shape your application, such as academic performance in specific HSC subjects, interest in certain study areas, identification as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander, or educational or financial disadvantage. - ### Assumed knowledge
In some degrees, you’ll be expected to have an understanding of certain topics, theories or concepts before you start your studies. UTS offers a range of introductory units and bridging courses if you don’t have the assumed knowledge you need for your chosen course. - ### ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank)
A number between 0.00 and 99.95 that shows your academic ranking compared to all the students in your age group across New South Wales. Most unis (including UTS!) will consider your application based on something called your selection rank, which combines your ATAR with any adjustment factors you’re eligible for to give you an overall university entrance score, rather than on your ATAR alone. Your selection rank may differ from university to university depending on the adjustment factors you receive at each institution. - ### Current school leaver
Someone applying to university who completed Year 12 in the year prior to intake. For the 2026 intake, this is someone who completed Year 12 in 2025. - ### Non-current school leaver
Someone applying to university who did not complete Year 12 in the year prior to intake. For the 2026 intake, this is someone who did not complete Year 12 in 2025. - ### Non-recent school leaver
Someone applying to university who is not considered a recent school leaver. This is usually someone who has commenced higher education studies after finishing Year 12 or who completed Year 12 three or more years prior to starting university. - ### Recent school leaver
Someone applying to university who completed Year 12 in the two years prior to starting UTS and who has not commenced higher education studies since high school (this includes all students applying to UTS straight from Year 12, as well as students who take a gap year prior to applying for admission). - ### University Admissions Centre (UAC)
Tertiary admissions centre that receives and processes most university applications across New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory.
