If you’re an international student looking for a university preparation program, then UTS Foundation Studies is designed to help you take your next step into Australian university study. Our program provides pathway opportunities to ANY undergraduate degree at UTS or to a UTS Insearch diploma.

When you choose our Standard pathway, you’ll be learning skills to prepare you for university study. Students who complete successfully will qualify for the first year of ANY undergraduate degree at UTS or for those who need more preparation, an Insearch Diploma.


Entry to UTS
Study a UTS Insearch diploma and when you successfully complete your studies you'll receive guaranteed entry to the corresponding UTS undergraduate degree. In fact, most of our diplomas will take you straight into the second year of your UTS degree. So you're not wasting any time at all! Choose from diplomas in the areas of business, communication, design & architecture, engineering, information technology or science.


Big in support. Small in size
Whether you’re an international student adjusting to a new education system, or an Australian student seeking additional support, we want you to thrive while studying with us. That’s why we’ve designed a robust framework of support services tailored specifically to meet the needs of every student.

All support services are freely accessible to all UTS Insearch students, and include our Learning Support Program, one-on-one tutorials, study skills workshops, and full-time dedicated Study Success Advisers.

Plus, our classes are kept small – with no more than 20 students in one tutorial, giving you a more personalised learning experience.

Part of UTS
Our diploma courses are designed in collaboration with UTS. This means the educational outcomes for diploma students are the same as for first year students studying a UTS undergraduate degree. So you're getting the same world-class university standards right from day one of your studies.

Plus all academic students have access to world-class facilities at UTS, including the library, 24 hour computer labs and hundreds of student clubs and associations.
