Hi everyone! I’m planning to start at UTS in February and I’m trying to understand how the academic calendar actually works.
I’m still a bit confused about the semester structure, so I wanted to ask current UTS students:
How many teaching weeks are there in one semester?

Is one semester around 12 weeks, or is it longer once exams are included?

When does Semester 1 usually finish for February intake students?

How long is the break between Semester 1 and Semester 2?

When does Semester 2 usually finish?

Is there usually a long summer break from around November to February?

If your subjects don’t have final exams, can you leave Sydney earlier?

Do students normally go back home during the longer breaks?

I’m also trying to decide whether I should rent a studio for 6 months or 12 months, so I want to understand the actual study and holiday schedule before signing a lease.
I’d really appreciate any advice from current UTS students, especially business students. Thank you! :)

Hi everyone, just wondering if any international students here completed the Master of Professional Accounting at UTS and then applied for a skills assessment with CA ANZ?

My Migration Agent applied the skill assessment on my behalf and CA ANZ has told me I’m missing 77947 Companies and Securities Law, but I completed 79708 Contemporary Business Law as part of my MPA.

Has anyone had the same issue before? Did CA ANZ accept 79708, or did you need to provide a subject outline / letter from UTS / complete another law subject?

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has been in a similar situation. Thank you!

Does anyone know?
