Hi everyone,
I'm currently doing the Diploma of Engineering at UTS College. Once I finish, I'll move into the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Chemical Process Engineering as a second-year student. Because I'm coming in through the pathway, I don't know anyone in the course yet. I'd love to hear from people who are studying it now or have already finished.
A few things I'm curious about:
What is the course actually like? Which subjects were the hardest, and is there anything you wish you'd known before starting?
How did you find your internship in Sydney? Was it through UTS Careers, LinkedIn, someone you knew, or just applying everywhere?
I'm really interested in minerals processing. Are there internships like that in Sydney, or do most people have to go regional or interstate (WA, QLD) for that kind of work?
I'm happy to put in the work, and I'd really like to get to know people in the course. If you're up for a chat or a coffee on campus, let me know.
Thanks for reading!

Hi,

Any tips on how to prepare for the final exam for anyone who has done those subjects?

Thanks.

Hey for any one take the 41080 in the Spring semester this year, did the quiz take place online or in class, please? Thanks a lot!

Hey everyone,
I’m a domestic student and I completed my interview late August. I’m just wondering if anyone has received an offer yet, or if anyone knows how long it takes for offers to typically be released?

Private furnished studio at UniLodge Ultimo, 437 Wattle Street, near UTS and Broadway Shopping Centre. This is a self-contained studio with your own bathroom and kitchenette, not a room in a shared apartment. Student accommodation only, with any takeover subject to UniLodge approval.

I’m graduating and looking for someone to take over my accommodation from around 14 November 2026. The move-in date is negotiable, and my current agreement ends on 4 February 2027.

The advertised $675/week is my current rent, including utilities and Wi-Fi. The rent and terms for an incoming resident must be confirmed with UniLodge.

The studio is furnished and has air conditioning. The building has shared laundry facilities, common areas and resident events. I’ve personally found the room quiet during my stay.

For anyone planning to stay longer: my understanding is that moving in before 30 November 2026 and renewing for one year starting in February 2027 may qualify you for a $749/week renewal rate plus $1,000 credit. The quoted rate for new residents moving in during February is $799/week. UniLodge must confirm eligibility and all offer terms. These rates are separate from the takeover rent before February.

Please message me with your preferred move-in date, intended length of stay and student status. I can then check the applicable rent and arrangements with management.

This is UniLodge Ultimo on Wattle Street, not UniLodge on Broadway. Room photos were taken during my tenancy in 2024; the common-area photo is from October 2026. Personal belongings shown are not included.

Hey everyone!

I just finished my second year of my Bachelor of Business degree, and I am about to start my 3rd year in 2027, and tbf I can't believe my uni journey will officially end next year lol. And I guess I'm kinda looking for an excuse to still be here cuz I'm totally not ready to face the real world just yet, and also I do legitimately wanna do some more education.

I was initially thinking about doing an honours year all the way at the start of my first year, but unfortunately I didn't achieve a high enough ATAR to get into Bachelor of Business (Honours) in the beginning. But now that I only have 2 semesters left, I reckon I'm ready to apply for an Honours year.

The only thing I am confused about is the process of applying for it while still doing my current Bachelor of Business degree, and I just wanted to hear the opinion of people who have already done it or have been accepted into it as to how to even begin the application process.

In terms of grades, I'm doing alright; so far, I do have a WAM that achieves the minimum of a 'Distinction' but I do believe that after my results get calculated for this semester, my WAM will mostly likely drop a little. If WAM is the only criterion, I guess that's that, but are there any more criteria for getting accepted into an honours year?

Thanks for your help 🙏

I was wondering I submitted an assignment last night but realised this morning I had left something out. I understand that submitting an assignment after the due date with give me a 5% penalty but the part I left out is needed so I have to resubmit. If I fix it and then resubmit will they take my most current submission as the one they actually mark or should I email the subject coordinator and explain as well?

I also got a 3 day short extension, will this affect the penalty I get or will it still just be 5% for 1 day late?

the task says:

Format: Recorded video (e.g., PowerPoint recording). Voiceover slides are not acceptable!

I dont understand what im supposed to do, are powerpoint recordings and voiceover slides the same thing? am i regarded? is it supposed to be slides + facecam in the corner (tutorial pls if this is the case) or recording myself in a room with the slides on a screen?

Hi everyone,

I have an upcoming Law subject final exam conducted as a timed LMS exam through Canvas. This is my first LMS exam, as all my previous exams were AI-proctored using Guardian Browser, so I'm a little confused and nervous about how it works.

Our lecturer has confirmed that we can draft answers in Word and copy-paste them into Canvas answer boxes. I also use Grammarly for writing assistance.

I was wondering whether timed LMS exams use Turnitin similarity checking or AI detection, particularly given concerns about false positives. As i use grammerly in word doc for grammer correction and edits.

I'd really appreciate any clarification from someone familiar with UTS LMS exams.

Thanks in advance!

Hi. I am currently in my second year in forensic science and am considering honours. I heard that there will be an information session about that next week. Is that true? Where can I find the information? Thank you.

Hi everyone! I’m graduating soon and I have a 2pm ceremony. I was wondering if anyone could give some tips on the following:

1. What time do you recommend guests should get there? I’m not sure how long getting my robe would take, i’m probably going to tell them to come at 12:30 just in case but i’m not sure if it’s too early.

2. Should I pre-order a frame for my testamur? How long was the process of getting it framed there (and cost?)

3. It says only an hour for pictures once the ceremony is over (which i’ve seen could end around 3:30). Did you find that was enough time for photos? I’m also considering purchasing my robe but not sure if it’s worth it.

4. Finally, did you find there were extra tickets available or were they mostly sold out?

Thank you for anyone who replies, i’m just a really bad overthinker 😅
