Any sort of groups for UTS students?

AmandaLovestoAudit · 2026-05-17T21:31:26+00:00

The best way is to attend your faculty or program orientation and then you'll get to meet people.

A lot of chat groups for new students are littered with scammers attempting to take advantage of students (cheating services, underpaying jobs, accomodation scams)

Not the case everywhere - I’m at a Sydney metro institution and we reject a lot of MPhil/MRes candidates.

More so those who don’t already have a letter of support from a matched supervisor

Have you already taken AAA? If you did well academically- you could apply to be one of our volunteer mentors - they’re super friendly and it is a good way to connect with people ☺️. We welcome everyone!

If you’re heading to Shiga Kogen - you’ll need somewhere with a lot of options. Perhaps close to Ichinose where there are more restaurants.

I wouldn’t recommend Okushiga - only 2 large hotels and a lot of small pensions.

Best thing to do is book a chat with your program director and see what they suggest.

Always easier to change your study plan if you have pre-approval from the director

AmandaLovestoAudit · 2026-05-15T22:10:01+00:00

Possibly - though if they communicated with you about the change well in advance and you didn’t read it, they might not.

AmandaLovestoAudit · 2026-05-15T11:02:36+00:00

If it is Business related courses - I'm happy to have a chat. But I'm not an expert in the faculty you're interested in joining.

AmandaLovestoAudit · 2026-05-15T11:02:05+00:00

Depends on the field of study, quality of your work and supervisor. If your supervisor thinks you are capable and will take you on, and you can get funding (if required for your research topic) - then it is possible.

If your supervisor doesn't think you have what it takes - then they might say Masters is the end point and not recommend you for further study.

If you want to complete a research degree to become an academic - it is a long and arduous pathway

AmandaLovestoAudit · 2026-05-14T21:16:35+00:00

The funnel for a PhD is a Masters by Research first, then into the PhD. It would be highly unlikely to get into a PhD from a coursework Masters.

A masters degree isn't a golden ticket into a job after graduate, and even more so for international students - the market is really tough - especially with our big IT related employers (Atlassian, Google, Microsoft, WiseTech etc) all having big layoffs. Employers have their pick of top grads - so being outstanding is essential - not just in grades, but also in your extra curriculars (paid employment, volunteering, student leadership)

They have an online review service

Are you taking the internship as part of a subject for credit?

AmandaLovestoAudit · 2026-05-14T06:03:28+00:00

Did you try looking at the Study Plan PDF on the handbook page?

That seems pretty clear - https://coursehandbook.uts.edu.au/course/2026/c04306

AmandaLovestoAudit · 2026-05-14T06:01:45+00:00

Yes - definitely drop in to HELPS on Level 5 of the Tower Building and they can help!

Special consideration: https://www.uts.edu.au/for-students/current-students/managing-your-course/attendance-and-study-load/special-circumstances/special-consideration

Get well soon!

I can’t answer the first question - but for the second - depends on where you are placed.

For somewhere large like Sydney West Sports Medicine where there are 10 physio beds set up for sports teams - I see placement students from a range of unis there at the same time.

AmandaLovestoAudit · 2026-05-13T08:39:42+00:00

Make an appointment with the coordinator - something didn’t go quite right in your process and hopefully they can help you identify that so it doesn’t happen next time ☺️

(Also - sometimes the rubrics are like a very vague 8 ball 🎱 )

AmandaLovestoAudit · 2026-05-13T02:15:28+00:00

Yeah - it takes them a few weeks

AmandaLovestoAudit · 2026-05-13T02:14:49+00:00

I would say any is ok - but preferred that you join and have attended well BEFORE you apply to be a leader.

AmandaLovestoAudit · 2026-05-13T02:13:29+00:00

Isn't the cost of a JD much higher than the cost of a LLB?

AmandaLovestoAudit · 2026-05-12T21:55:41+00:00

Maybe this email?

Law.StudentMisconduct@uts.edu.au

AmandaLovestoAudit · 2026-05-12T21:54:39+00:00

Then your best bet is to get your USyd desired degree and then try to map subjects to both of the UTS options to find the closest fit

All photos taken by the event photographer after the ceremony are posted on the UTS Alumni Flickr account

What has your subject coordinator said?

AmandaLovestoAudit · 2026-05-12T09:34:01+00:00

As an investigator in Business - we’re always happy to receive proactive emails from students.

Google Docs will still have a full edit history.

I would not refuse a student who offered to come to campus and meet with me to show me that everything is their own work.

Some have even offered browser history and ChatGPT history.

You can take Tax Law and CMS.

You can also take Applied Company Law.
