University of Technology Programs: Tuition fees, Ranking, Scholarships, Application Deadlines & Entry Requirements

There are good and bad parts. My course needs to focus more on the practical side as that's what people expect out of the course and the theory and other subjects don't have anything to do with our course. For example, we have to do a subject called digital literacies which holds no relevance. The reason we have to do that is the music and sound course is Niche and they have just put us in the communications division with journalism, social/political science students etc so it makes no sense.

The fee structure is something I personally am not aware of as I am very fortunate to have my parents pay for my tuition. I am aware of many scholarships but not the name I do apologise. I do know friends who have got housing scholarships as they struggle to get work here. Very smart friends of mine have also gotten $5000-$15000 scholarships for the sport

I have undertaken my studies through a government HECs loan whereby I will pay back my fees later once I have a job. Most courses are around $1,000-$1,300 depending on the degree and credit points it is. I am unsure if there are international scholarships available. I'm sure there are like my friend from Costa Rica who was offered a place for a master's degree that would be paid for by the university.

I was most interested in what I regard as the top three universities in Sydney, which are the University of Sydney, University of New South Wales and also the University of Technology Sydney. I do not have high academic regard for ACU or Macquarie so I was aiming for one of the three I have listed. I attended the open days for all universities and fell in love with Sydney University and had my heart set on going there. I went to the UNSW open day and didn't like UNSW at all. I didn't like the campus, I just had a weird feeling about it, it was awkward to get to and I didn't know many people going there. I was not as interested in going to UTS as I thought the whole campus was the one tower building, which is quite ugly. But then when I attended the open day, I liked the feel of the campus, having had the opportunity to walk around and see what the campus was. When it came time to choose my university through UAC and which courses I was applying for, I realised that my results probably would not lend to getting into the Business degree at Sydney Uni, as I was initially applying for a double degree in business and international studies, which had a very high ATAR score at USYD. When the results were released, I had gotten into UTS and received an early entry offer from UNSW for a similar course. I chose UTS as I did not like UNSW and didn?t get the results I needed for USYD.
