An introduction about UTS. UTS is one of the top 100
universities in the world for graduate employability. We are
also number one in Australia for computing science and
engineering. We are in the top 150 universities on the QS
rankings of 2020. And we are number one university Young
University in Australia. So we do have a lot of credential when
it comes to education at the postgraduate level, in
engineering and in it. So basically in our in postcard
engineering programmes, we divide them into three or so
we've got the technical programmes programmes, the
management programmes as well as the combined programmes. In our
technical programmes we have in different disciplines in
engineering which we will go through later. And also you can
see them in the booklet
that we've got.
In addition to the main problems programmes, we have we also
offer engineering extension. What we mean by that is, you
know, we will talk about that in the next few slides. We have
Master
of Engineering extension and Master
of Engineering advanced. The extension is when you specialise
in a major and the sub major. The engineering advanced is when
you take up a major piece of research and this is usually
people who do Master of Engineering advanced usually
have aspirations to do a PhD after that. And we also offer
the master of professional engineering which is a two year
full time programme. Graham, and it's an accredited one, this
one. And we
also have Master of Engineering studies.
We also offer engineering management. So masters in
Engineering and Management and then certificates and what have
you, and Environmental Engineering Management. So
there's a variety of different disciplines and areas that we
can help you with if you're interested. In addition to
those, we also offer combined degrees that include the Master
of Engineering Management with an MBA from the School of
Business, as well as Master of Engineering in one
of our technical
disciplines, in addition to the Master
of Engineering Management,
so you end up with that two degrees at the end of it. For
2020 which is a very new programme we are introducing the
master of professional practice and the master of technology.
What is different about those two is that they are the, what
we call them tailor your own degree. So you we give students
the opportunity to
pretty much design their own degree and choose their own
subjects to what suits them in, in their work, for example, and
I'll talk about that a little bit more later. So yeah, we can
call it custom fit as well for those two programmes. This this,
those two programmes came from discussions with different
people who come to us and they say, Look, I'm experienced in
management, but I just need to increase my knowledge for my
work in a particular area. So I would like to get a you know, a
little bit have information say in risk management as but and
more into business processes and I want to get different aspects
and based on the need for that and there was an increased need
that was realised and therefore, we started we decided to design
those two programmes to offer people the ability to design
their own degree.
And
now,
what we do in FEIT, we understand that embarking on a higher
education offering is going to be you know, commitment it
requires commitment of time commitment of money, and people
may not know, at first glance whether they want to have a
full, full master's degree or PhD or graduate certificate or
diploma or whatever they need. So we try to help you in making
that decision. What we are doing, we are offering you, we
free online courses that people can go in and get a taste of
what different areas are available, what is needed in
those particular topics and subjects and what have you. So
you can get a taste, it takes about three to five hours
depending on the course. So you can go there, it's totally free
and you can get a taste of what this is going to look like. We
also offer short courses, and these are courses designed to
help students in getting a certificate into one topic if
they wanted. So it's a short course. It doesn't
require you or offer To commit to a longer term, you know,
couple of years or a year of work or whatever,
and we can also offer higher education certificates as well.
And we've got a list here like we can offer graduate
certificates in engineering studies in professional practice
in technology, information technology, and in Information
Systems. So if for for people who are not quite sure, I
strongly suggest that you go to ups open and they will give you
information about the different offerings
that you can
kind of taste what it's like to commit to a higher education
programme. We also offer a number of levels of higher
education if you like, so the graduate certificate is 24
Credit point programme 24 credit point equals to four subjects.
And our normal load full time load for a session is four
subjects. So you can pretty much get a graduate certificate, if
you take it full time for six months or for one semester, a
graduate diploma, this requires you to complete 48 credit
points. So, that is eight subjects which you can do in one
year. a Master's programme can be 72 or 96 for the master nit,
but the 72 credit points that's a year and a half of commitment.
And you can also then in one major, but and the master
extension is when you add a sub major to your major and that
takes you to 96 credits points or two years, or if you decide,
okay, I want to do some research in a particular area. So instead
of taking a sub major, you're actually working on a project.
And you will need a supervisor to take you for that. And then
you can do a Master's advanced. And you do this pretty much
gives you the prerequisite to a PhD if you want it in the
future.
Well, I've had a bit of both kind of taste for the last one
year I've had the good taste of being able to go to university
and enjoy the cost there. And also being able to take the
course online in the last one semester since a Coca Cola.
Well, I could say both have been quite an experience going to a
semester of going to semesters on June class as well. The whole
self support that I got from the faculty along with the research
facilities available that really helped me in Microsoft Word for
the subject, but surprisingly enough, even when we went online
UTS I found it Everything didn't pull at any stops to make
sure that we have complete access to any kind of facilities
or support that we require. Because even I had to do my
graduate project this semester. And my faculty used to talk to
me every week online, just to make sure everything was you
know, up to date and was moving in the right direction. This
really, it wasn't a different from what things would have been
if you had classes offline, I will be meeting my professors at
the same frequency also all the software that I need to use, you
just put them up on cloud servers. So it's really easy for
us to access well, so I'll know you this has been a actually
been a very great experience to me those challenging times.
Definitely a great experience.
Going back to the short courses, the short courses offer
information that some students or some people feel that would
be very helpful for them in their career. So we have short
courses in artificial intelligence and deep learning
in 5g fibre in cybersecurity and Internet of Things quantum
computing. So there's a lot of offering in terms of short
courses that we can give a TDS. And I strongly suggest for
people who are thinking about that to visit our UTS open and
trick what, what is there. So we have the Protoss space, which is
in our city campus, and it is a multi multi purpose space that
is used for 3d printing. And it's quite impressive in terms
of the technology that is there and what you can actually
produce in those 3d printers.
We also have our data
lounge, which is a room that is surrounded With giant
touchscreens, and it has it gives you the ability to
visualise data in in ways that you may not have to consider.
And that's another impressive facility that we've got. And we
also have a doctor arena. And our data arena is like a 360
degree screen, which has amazing
abilities to zoom in and zoom out and to all sorts of
different environments. And
yet,
I would strongly suggest
that people interested into the technology and what it can do to
actually go and get the opportunity to go and have a
look if they can. We also have state of the art tech lab which
is situated in botany in Sydney and Then we have a number of
facilities for
civil engineering and other engineering machines and
that do testing for massive structures and what have you.
And there are different elements there that you can use if you
decide to do a project, work on a project, do some testing, do
some prototyping and that sort of stuff. Yeah, we've got the
facilities to help students who are interested in that sort of
stuff with our fees for postgraduates, we charged by the
credit points, most of our subjects are six credit points
each.
So
you can do the math, we charge about $650 per credit point. Um,
so this is what we are We are currently charging now, if that
is going to change or mean the same or get busy become
different as a result of some government legislation as a
result of the COVID-19 then obviously that will change but
rule of thumb is that we charge $650 per credit point. So, just
if you decide that you want to apply, there are a few things, a
checklist you need to go through, you need to check the
session dates, the admission requirements and what what
documents Do you need in order to have a complete application
and that would include the English proficiency and
recognition of prior learning if if that is a bit quiet. Now, how
to apply. You've got that links here. And you've got Wang
sitting in the panel to take questions about that. So, we can
help you if you have any any questions in that regard. And
this slide shows a number of the different items that students
are generally interested to know. So the fees fee assistance
if you are a local student, any credit recognition and usually
with the credit recognition, it is assessed on Best Buy on a
case
by case basis, depending on the requirements
of what we expect. A students should have learned from a
particular subject, and we compare it to what that student
learns in what they want to get recognition for.
And for our
international students, There is the website that helps you with
information regarding the international and
information about short courses and scholarships and
what have you. So, you will have
that slide and you can access the
the websites for further information.
