Admission: the process of applying for a course or program at UTS,

then being made an offer of admission, accepting that offer, and being

admitted to study at UTS.

Advanced standing: see Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).

Campus: the university grounds including the buildings.

Combined degree: the opportunity to study two programs from

different academic areas at the same time and graduate with

two degrees.

Course: an award course, non-award study or any part of a program of

study offered by UTS, e.g. Master of Business.

Credit point: the unit of measure of workload for individual subjects

(allocated based on the amount of work required in that subject).

Credit points are gained by students enrolled in award courses when

subjects are passed. When accumulated, credit points form one

measure of the total requirements of a course. Most subjects at UTS

are 6 or 8 credit points each.

Credit recognition: see Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).

CRICOS code: CRICOS stands for Commonwealth Register of

Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students. The CRICOS code is

an official code given to a course and institution to confirm that it is

registered to be offered to international students.

Distance mode: a teaching method that does not require students to

attend classes on campus. Instead, distance mode students access

their subject materials online. International students undertaking

distance mode courses cannot obtain a student visa to study the

course in Australia.

Electives: some courses allow you to choose elective subjects outside

your core study area as part of your course. Not all electives are

available each session. Due to timetabling, you may not always get

your first choice electives.

English language requirements: To be eligible for admission into

a course, you must demonstrate proficiency in written and spoken

English if your previous education was not conducted in English.

Please see page 55 for specific English language requirements for

each course. These are subject to change.

Fees: are charged per credit point. The cost of each credit point

will depend on the course you are studying (see uts.edu.au/study/

international/essential-information/fees-information for the most

up-to-date information on fees). The fees in this course guide have

been calculated based on a 24 credit point session in 2024, unless

otherwise stated.

Lectures: classes that are taught in large groups, usually conducted

in lecture halls or online. The lecturer will provide students with course

material, which is often later discussed and debated in smaller tutorial

groups.

Major: an area you choose to specialise in during your studies. Your

course will be structured around a sequence of subjects that form this

major. Students can choose other unrelated subjects to undertake

in conjunction with major subjects, but cannot graduate unless the

criteria of their chosen major is met.

Pre-requisite: one or more units of subject/s, specified by the faculty

board that a student must already have completed before being

eligible to enrol in a particular unit or course.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL): (also known as ‘advanced

standing’, ‘credit recognition’ and in some cases referred to as

‘exemption’ or ‘credit’) is the granting of credit to students for their

previous learning for credit towards a course. For more information,

please go to page 60.

Sessions: the blocks of time during which classes run on campus.

At UTS, an academic year has three sessions: Autumn, Spring and

Summer. For academic calendar dates, see page 101.

Sub-major: a group of subjects which, alongside the major, will form

the structure of your course. The sub-major works the same way as

your major in that there will be a specific number of required credit

points that need to be met.

Subjects: units that cover different areas within your chosen course.

They are a combination of core subjects (these are compulsory) and

electives.

Subject outline: an official document that represents the statement

of subject requirements that is authoritative for both the university

and the students undertaking the subject. It includes details of the

minimum essential requirements necessary to pass the subject,

material and equipment that may be taken into an examination and

may prescribe attendance and/or participation requirements. All

students should receive a subject outline for every subject in the first

week of class.

TEQSA: the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency.

It’s Australia’s independent national quality assurance and

regulatory agency for higher education.
