WELCOME TO UTS
While undertaking my PhD in Education at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, I have found UTS to be a great environment that fosters research. The available resources provided by UGS are contemporary and support my development. In particular, UTS Library is one of the key facilities that helps me in the whole research process. The electronic resources, workshops and the librarys involvement in the BONUS program are helpful. I believe that the quality of education is high at UTS, and that students are valued here.

Welcome to the research student community at the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS). It is a community that is growing every year. We have over 1,000 research degree students, and over 200 of these are from countries far and wide. You will have many opportunities to meet other researchers as you work together and come together for social events. I hope your research study experiences at UTS will be intellectually stimulating and enjoyable.
