Innovation, collaboration and engagement are at the core of UTS’s range of strategic initiatives: from increasing the intensity, excellence, impact and reputation of its research and providing services for its community, to campus development plans that will strengthen its role in both education and business, to its engagement with Indigenous education and employment and its commitment to sustainability and internationalization.
