CAREERS IN EDUCATIONWhen you graduate, you’ll be ready for a career in the classroom. Career options include primary teaching (kindergarten to year 6) or secondary teaching (years 7–12) in English, Mathematics, Science, Social Science (Business Studies & Economics) or PDHPE. Based on your chosen major you can also qualify to teach K-12. You can teach in a public or private school, in Australia or internationally where Australian teaching qualifications are recognised.

Alternatively, you can choose a broader career in education that calls on the highly transferrable skills – one-on-one tutoring, mentoring, facilitation of learning, training, and research and development – that you’ll gain throughout your degree.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE PROGRAMComplete 88 days of professional teaching placements in your course. You’ll be able to see how your academic learning makes a difference in practice, and how your professional experience gives meaning to the academic knowledge you are learning.

The program is essentially a three-way partnership between you, your supervising teachers and your UTS lecturers. You’ll develop as a teacher through a sequence of experiences that build on your earlier teaching and learning achievements, and that intersect with other aspects of your coursework. The program emphasises ongoing self-evaluation, which is an important part of effective teaching practice and being a lifelong learner. You’ll gain the ability to diagnose, negotiate and act on a range of issues in the classroom and beyond.

ADRIAN EVANGELISTA Secondary Education Major

“UTS offered immediate, integrated and continuous practical teaching experiences. In addition, being a technology university, I am able to take advantage of the technology available. The practical experiences are definitely a highlight. Within the first month of the degree, we were offered the opportunity to observe a classroom. This practical experience is built upon by the other subjects we complete and is a major aspect of our degree from beginning to end. These practical experiences allow us to put the theory in to practice and obtain immediate feedback.”

The program is divided into two parts:

– Campus-based studies, where you’ll investigate a range of pedagogical issues, skills and procedures that will contribute to your professional practice.

– Professional experience in schools, where you’ll apply your skills in a real-world educational setting.

You can also apply to undertake an international professional experience program overseas in your third year of study.

Bachelor of Arts in International Studies

HERE’S WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUTThis combined degree allows you to spend a year in another country and accrue course credit while you travel – as part of your study - and there are 29 different degree combinations to choose from.

You’ll build professional skills from your core degree, as well as choosing from one of our international partner universities within 14 countries for the international component of your course. You’ll study the language based on your choice of country where you’ll develop your intercultural skills. There’s no better way to prepare for the global workforce than to experience the world while you study.

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU? – UTS’s extensive international partnerships provide a unique

opportunity for study and travel that’s underpinned by extensive academic, logistic and cultural support

– Travel, study, live and learn

– Start making global connections

– Learn a new language and develop intercultural skills by immersing yourself within the culture

– When you set out on your year abroad, we’ll supplement your finances: UTS pays your airfares and visa fees, so all you have to fund are your living and personal expenses. Take a look at page 36 for what’s covered and what’s not

VADIMS BRODSKIS Bachelor of Science in IT, Bachelor of Arts in International Studies (Japan)

“My exchange year in Japan was amazing. I would recommend it to every student who comes (to UTS); if you can go overseas for exchange it will open up your horizons. I didn’t really have much of an idea about other cultures aside from my own Latvian–Russian culture and Australia. Now I’m confident that if I go there again for work, for traveling or for study, I know what I need to do, I know how to get it done.”

SALLY HUNT Bachelor of Laws, Bachelor of Arts in International Studies (Chile)

“Throwing myself in the deep end in Chile taught me a lot about what I am capable of. Living within a culture teaches you so much more than reading about it from the other side of the world. I became part of an international family that taught me about tolerance, interesting cultural differences, and about the remarkable uniform base of human understanding. The new perspectives gained through making cultural comparisons and gaining a global understanding are invaluable, and I know my experiences will be a significant part of who I am for the rest of my life.”

TRISTAN KLIFFEN Bachelor of Education, Bachelor of Arts in International Studies (Germany)

“I chose this double degree at UTS as I am passionate about education and have a love for Europe. I loved the many great friends I made, the wonderful places I travelled to and the experience of living in a beautiful country. The entire year was full of adventure and excitement I could not have dreamt of in Australia. It truly has changed my life. It was really rewarding to see my language develop and progress through the year. I hope my degree will give me the opportunity to work in the education field with an international perspective.”

KATYA DOBINSON Major: Legal Studies Graduate Consultant

“The practical assignments and internship were also a major factor for my selection of the UTS Bachelor of Global Studies over other international studies degrees offered at other universities.

I enjoyed the practical assignments as they brought a ‘real-life’ element to the degree, which not only expanded my knowledge but also taught me practical skills that prepared me for the realities of the workforce.”

CORE SUBJECTSGlobalisation in Historical Perspective

This subject introduces students to the main concepts, topics and historical pivot points in the development of globalisation, understood as constituted by cultural, economic and political processes. Some of the key topics include: empires and the development of the nation-state system, mercantilism, the Industrial Revolution, and Fordism.

Contemporary Global Economy

A global approach to world economic activity focuses on how changing interrelations among states, firms and people – as innovators and policy makers – have produced new ideas, networks, and spaces of economic activity. This subject gives particular attention to transnational corporations and their ‘world brands’, service industries in the world and global cities, the feminisation of the workforce, the new international division of labour and issues of inequality.

Cultures of Globalisation

Cultures of Globalisation calls on students to explore the cultural processes, forms and implications of globalisation. Students use case studies to parse the ways that localised cultures, including Indigenous cultures, can be both enriched and threatened by processes of globalisation and will reflect on the role of global institutions and organisations in these processes.

Global Governance

Students work with interdisciplinary approaches to examine how pressing global issues, including climate change, transnational migration, economic inequality and the ‘new terrorism’ are managed and governed through intersections of regulatory regimes, multilateral institutions, non-governmental organisations, social movements and citizen actions.

Global Problem Solving

In this subject students tackle a real-world global problem for an external organisation. Learning is done in seminars where students focus on solutions to the problem in small groups, utilising approaches from their majors. At the end of the session students make written and oral presentations of their solutions to the external organisation.

International Internship

Students complete a three to four-week internship, practicum or entrepreneurship placement with an international organisation and participate in pre-departure and post-experience workshops. Through the experience of living and working abroad, the subject enhances students’ communication skills, understanding of another culture and society and intercultural awareness.

Global Work Project

Students undertake a substantial work placement (50 hours minimum) with an organisation in the Sydney area that allows them to better understand the effects of globalisation on the workplace and the work organisations do. Students independently research the global aspects of work in the organisation in which they are placed.

If eligible, you can elect to pay your student contribution upfront or defer payment of your student contribution using HECS-HELP visit fees.uts.edu.au for more info.

For information on fees for international students visit uts.edu.au/international

Note: This guide is not intended for international students.

STUDENT SERVICES AND AMENITIES FEEStudents are required to pay a Student Services and Amenities Fee. This fee funds services and amenities at UTS such as social and cultural clubs, services for developing students’ study skills. UTS food, beverage and retail outlets [including a 10% discount for students], and the second-hand bookstore. If you’re an Australian citizen or on a humanitarian visa, this fee may be deferred through a new government loan scheme called SAHELP. fees.uts.edu.au

SCHOLARSHIPSAt UTS, we’re all about rewarding effort – and supporting circumstance. That’s why we offer more than 1,000 scholarships every year.

Applying to UTSIf you’re thinking about coming to study with us at UTS, here are a few things you’ll need to keep in mind:

ARE YOU A DOMESTIC STUDENT? If you’re applying for an undergraduate degree at UTS, you’ll need to submit an online application through the Universities Admission Centre (UAC) uac.edu.au

For domestic students, UAC applications open in August each year. On-time applications close at the end of September. You can still apply after this date, but remember that you will be charged a late fee.

If you’re an international student, this guide won’t be much help! We recommend that you visit UTS International for information specific to international students applying to UTS international.uts.edu.au

ELIGIBILITY To be eligible to study at UTS, you’ll need to satisfy at least one of our minimum admission requirements. This means you must:

– have attained a full NSW HSC or equivalent ATAR of 69 (excluding adjustments), or

– have completed TAFE TPC, Associate Diploma, AQF Diploma or Advanced Diploma, or

– have completed one year of tertiary studies (must be full time)

Check out the UTS website for full admission requirements uts.edu.au

CURRENT SCHOOL LEAVERS If you’re just finishing year 12, entry into an undergraduate program at UTS will be based on your Selection Rank*. If you’re completing your IB in a country other than Australia, you may be required to demonstrate your English language proficiency.

NON-CURRENT SCHOOL LEAVERS If you’re not currently completing year 12, we’ll consider your Selection Rank* or equivalent interstate rank, and any other tertiary studies you’ve done since you finished high school. In some cases, you might be eligible for credit recognition for those studies if they’re related to the UTS course you’re applying for. You can find out more about credit recognition by visiting uts.edu.au/future-students/credit-recognition

INDIGENOUS AUSTRALIANS At UTS, we’re committed to increasing access to education for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians. and we’ve got great support systems in place to help you get here. These systems include: The Jumbunna Indigenous House of Learning which can provide you with specialised assistance with the UTS application process, or with getting into the Jumbunna Direct Entry Program or UNISTART pathway programs. These programs lead directly into undergraduate study at UTS, and they’ll help you build skills and confidence. For more information, visit uts.edu.au/ future-students/indigenous

ADMISSION SCHEMES Need a boost to get into your chosen course? With a UTS entry admission scheme, you’re more than just a number. These schemes let us consider your circumstances beyond your ATAR to increase your chances of success. Here’s how:

Year 12 Subject Scheme

If you’ve just completed high school and you’ve performed well in HSC subjects that relate to your chosen UTS degree, you could be eligible for an adjustment of up to 5 points towards your Selection Rank*.

inpUTS Educational Access Scheme (EAS)

Educational disadvantage doesn’t have to be the end of your uni dream – in fact, it can be the beginning. inpUTS is for current school leavers or students with existing tertiary qualifications who have experienced – or are experiencing – difficult family, personal or financial circumstances. If you are found to be eligible for inpUTS you will be considered for an offer at UTS if your Selection Rank* is up to 10 points below the lowest Selection Rank* to have received an offer and you have achieved a minimum Selection Rank* of 69 (80 for Law).

Schools Recommendation Scheme (SRS)

At UTS, we value potential. This scheme is for students who’ve got what it takes to succeed at uni, but might not receive an offer based on their Selection Rank* or inpUTS alone. To be considered, you’ll have to demonstrate financial hardship or school environment (SO1E or SO1C), and achieve a minimum ATAR of 69 (80 for Law). You’ll also have to submit both an EAS application for financial hardship and an SRS application via UAC.

Elite Athletes and Performers Scheme

Elite-level performance can impact your studies – which is why we’ve created a special admissions scheme for athletes and entertainers. If you’ve competed in sport at a national level, or you’ve been involved in extensive or significant productions in Australia or overseas, you will receive an adjustment of 5 points to your Selection Rank*.

For more information on UTS admission schemes, visit undergraduate.uts.edu.au/admissionschemes
