MATTHEW CHILDS
Bachelor of Engineering (Civil), Bachelor of Business (due to graduate 2016)
I recently completed the UTS Hatchery pre-incubator program, which gives
students an understanding of the startup sector. It was fantastic for developing
professional networks, and Ive also gotten really involved with the startup
culture in Sydney.
Ive now started a wine storage business called Wine Stash, which helps people
store, age and display their wine collections professionally. Ive already hit over
$1 million in revenue in just over 12 months. The knowledge and skills I gained
from the Hatchery program have already been extremely beneficial to my
business, and the professional connections Ive formed will be very valuable
throughout my career.

MAJORS
GENERAL
2016 ATAR: 85.60
UAC Code: 603105
If youre not sure what you want to
specialise in or youd like to customise
your degree by combining several majors,
the General major is the one for you. You
can select approved major subjects from
any of the majors offered, allowing you to
explore the areas that interest you.
If you find some areas interest you
more than others, you can negotiate to
specialise. This means you can effectively
start your degree with this major and then
transfer to one of the other majors after
your first year. Alternatively, if you have had
some experience of engineering and you
see a particular niche that covers two or
more majors, you can negotiate your own
specialist area of study.
CAREER OPTIONS
Your technical, analytical and practical
engineering skills, along with your logical
thinking will become your graduate
attributes. Add to this an ability to identify
problems, focus on solutions, work in
teams and manage projects and people,
and youll be sought after in a wide range
of areas once you graduate. Career
opportunities include:
>> state and federal government agencies
such as Transport for NSW or local
councils

Doctor of Philosophy (graduated 2013)
I have always enjoyed learning how technology works, and building machines that
do fun and interesting things. Mechatronics at UTS was an obvious choice for me.
By far the most useful aspects of my degree were the internships - they exposed me
to what working in the industry is really like. After my bachelor degree, I was given
the opportunity to do a PhD. If youre naturally curious and love to learn, working
as a researcher is a great career option. Im now a postdoctoral researcher in the
UTS Centre for Autonomous Systems where I develop robots that help humans perform
physical tasks.

THOMAS DA JOSE
Bachelor of Engineering, Diploma in Engineering Practice (due to graduate 2016)
Recipient of the UTS Roads and Maritime Services Scholarship
Recipient of the New Colombo Plan Scholarship
UTS was my first choice because it values the importance of practical experience.
The lifelong learning that comes from an immersive workplace experience cannot be
replicated in the classroom.
I was awarded the UTS Roads and Maritime Services Scholarship in 2012, which gave
me two internship placements: one with the RMS Bridge and Structural Engineering
Durability and Materials Unit, and the other with Sydney Trains, where I worked as an
undergraduate project engineer. In 2016 I am studying in Thailand on a New Colombo
Plan Scholarship. I aspire to use my engineering education to benefit disadvantaged
communities within and outside Australia.

ENTRY PATHWAYS
Open to local and international students
If you dont gain entry to your degree of
choice, consider undertaking another
form of study and then reapply the
following year as a non-current school
leaver. At UTS there are a number of
pathways you can take to gain entry to
your preferred course.
Complete a UTS:INSEARCH Diploma
UTS:INSEARCH is the premium pathway
provider to UTS. Diploma programs can
provide direct entry into corresponding
undergraduate degrees and you could
fast track into the 2nd year of a UTS
undergraduate degree depending on
the course you choose. Each year more
than 90 per cent of INSEARCH diploma
graduates are eligible for direct entry in
the second year of a UTS degree.
UTS Foundation Studies provides
pathways to UTS:INSEARCH diplomas
and entry into the first year of an
undergraduate degree at UTS provided
you meet the academic admission
requirements. For more information visit
www.insearch.edu.au
Complete a TAFE Diploma
(local students only)
UTS offers some subject exemptions to
students who apply to study at UTS after
first completing a course at TAFE. Each
exemption is assessed on an individual
basis, normally at enrolment.
CREDIT RECOGNITION
If you have already completed, or partially
completed a university course, you might
be eligible for credit recognition. This will
either exempt you from certain specific
subjects or reduce the number of elective
subjects you need to complete. If you have
completed a TAFE Diploma or Advanced
Diploma in an Engineering discipline or a
UTS:INSEARCH Diploma of Engineering,
you will also be eligible for credit
recognition.
NO.
