How do you receive international students?

Orientation is the series of events run on campus for new students. During Orientation you will become acquainted with the UTS campus and learn important things that will assist you to be a successful student at UTS. All new students are expected to attend on-campus activities during Orientation. Orientation is designed to help you get the best out of your student experience by providing you with information about UTS support services, academic and professional development, clubs and activities, your faculty, and discovering your new campus.

Accommodation and cost of living

Supporting yourself includes the cost of accommodation, food, transport, services, utilities, entertainment and other expenses to help you make the most of your time in this exciting city. At UTS, we estimate that an international student requires a minimum of A$23,452 – A$28,652 for living expenses for each academic year. A Department of Home Affairs requirement is that prospective international students must demonstrate that they have access to at least A$21,041 a year to fund their living costs in Australia. Choose to live in one of UTS’s five residencies close to the UTS campus or in off-campus accommodation. You will need to consider your preferred location, as well as your budget before you decide which accommodation option suits your needs and lifestyle.
