About the University of Technology Sydney and Scholarship
The Sydney Mechanics’ School of Arts was founded in 1833 and is the oldest continually operating Mechanics’ Institute in Australia. The school expanded into technical education in the 1870s and became the Working Men’s College. The NSW government eventually took control of the college to become Sydney Technical College.
The New South Wales Institute of Technology (NSWIT) was founded in 1964 as a result of an Act that the NSW Parliament enacted in 1940 to create an institute of technology. The NSW Institute of Technology and the NSW Institute of Business Studies merged in 1968. The first law school outside of a university was founded by NSWIT in 1976. In 1985, the Haymarket campus was formally inaugurated.
Over more than 30 years, the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) has provided courses with a strong vocational focus in a range of subject areas. UTS is famous for its tight ties with business, which have been forged via several cooperative research and educational initiatives.
A joint education program between the University and supporting organizations is the Bachelor of Information Technology. The program’s goal is to develop graduates who will hold leadership positions in information technology within Australian businesses. The graduate’s education has a strong practical emphasis and is centered on computer-based information systems. The development of the graduate’s abilities depends heavily on the periods of industry-based learning. The graduates will also be knowledgeable about the foundations of information technology as well as business theory and practice.
