FAQs

Can students apply for two sessions?

• UTS is only accepting applications for a duration of 1 session for Spring 2021 including the Australian Language and Culture Studies program. 
• Beyond Borders subject options are for the Spring 2021 (July to Nov) session only.
• UTS will have more information about Autumn 2022 (Feb-June) study options in late 2021.

Why are the subject options limited?

• Not all UTS subjects are currently available fully online, or are offered at times that are convenient for offshore students.
• We have worked with our Faculties to offer a range of subjects that are accessible to offshore students. 
• Once face to face learning becomes available again, or when more subjects become suitable for offshore students, we will update you.

Why are students allowed to study full-time or part-time at UTS in the Beyond Borders program?

• Due to time zone differences, UTS recognises that offshore students may not wish to undertake a full-time study load.
• As students will be studying fully online, there will be no student visa requirements to adhere to, meaning that there are no immigration implications for students studying part-time.
