INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY IN 
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA
Australia is a major player in the field of 
Information Communication Technologies 
(ICT) in the Asia Pacific region with Sydney 
as the driving force behind the industry, both 
as a supplier and consumer of IT goods 
and services. New South Wales leads all 
other Australian States and Territories in 
ICT research capabilities. There are more 
regional headquarters located in New South 
Wales than any other state in Australia and 
some of the world’s top ICT companies are 
based in Sydney, such Atlassian, Google, IBM, 
Microsoft, CSC, Sun Microsystems and Oracle. 
New South Wales also has the largest number 
of ICT specialist businesses in Australia 
accounting for 39 per cent of ICT businesses 
and 39 per cent of industry value-added 
output in Australia.1

for Interactive Media and Learning (IML) 
at UTS. Learning that crosses different 
disciplines, fields and subject areas is 
strongly encouraged, so you will be carefully 
counselled to tailor a program of core and 
elective subjects specific to your talents 
and interests.
A defining characteristic of multimedia 
education at UTS is the integration of theory 
and practice. You will develop professional 
skills and acquire a solid overview of the 
cultural, historical and industrial roles of 
multimedia communication technologies. You 
will receive a high level of individual attention 
as class sizes are relatively small (around 25 
students) and often run in a seminar style 
rather than the standard lecture and tutorial 
pattern. Guest lecturers such as respected 
multimedia practitioners or international 
visitors are often featured in the classes.

Master of Information Technology
“I’ve been in Sydney for three years now as 
I started at UTS INSEARCH doing a DEEP 
course (Direct English Entry Program) before 
enrolling into the UTS Master of Information 
Technology
It was always my dream to study overseas and 
Australia has an excellent reputation in IT and 
Engineering. I also believe Australians are far 
more accepting of people from other cultures 
which has proven to be true. To study and 
obtain a degree from overseas is highly valued 
and will help me in my future career. 
UTS has great facilities such as 24 hour, 
seven day a week access to computer labs 
and HELPS (Higher Education Language and 
Presentation Support), where I’ve attended 
seminars and found them very helpful. The 
library also offer workshops like ‘Google 
skills’, ‘finding statistical data’ which has 
helped me improve my communication skills. 
I’m in my last semester and as I don’t have 
such a heavy study load I have more time do 
some fun things like going to Darling Harbour, 
the Rocks and Circular Quay. I want to do 
the walk over the Harbour Bridge before 
I go home. 
I live in Zetland and love getting out and 
about - BBQs on the weekends in Centennial 
Park or going to the beach. Of course the 
weather is great! 
When I get back home I’ll look for a job in IT, 
and my degree will assist in this. I’m very glad 
to have come to UTS. 
The overall quality of my course and what is 
offered has been good and it’s certainly what 
I’ve expected it to be.”
 JINJIU LI AND WEI WEI 
China
Doctor of Philosophy
Wei Wei and Jinjiu Li are PhD students 
studying under the Advanced Analytics 
Institute (AAI) and the Centre for Quantum 
Computation and Intelligent Systems 
(QCIS). Their PhD research has seen them 
collaborating with industry on various 
projects. They are currently working on a 
pilot project for a major financial corporation 
developing effective analytical models that 
are designed to prevent and detect financial 
crime and fraud. 
Wei applied for a PhD at UTS after completing 
a Masters in Network Security at Southeast 
University in China. Wei is particularly 
interested in areas of network security that 
combine research and its application in 
industry. Her research involves building a risk 
control model incorporating discriminative 
behaviour analysis. The outcome of the 
research will provide a framework and robust 
methodologies for detection and identification 
of dynamic fraud behaviours in the area 
of finance. 
“I want my research to be applied to the 
workplace in a practical and efficient way 
so a positive impact can be witnessed in 
real world terms.”
Jinjiu came to his PhD with five years of 
industry experience in software development 
and was motivated by a desire to explore 
ways of utilising the vast wealth of data 
that is available to industry. Through work 
connections he became aware of the AAI 
and applied to UTS largely on the strength 
of Professor Longbing Cao’s (Director of 
AAI) reputation in the field. His PhD was 
inspired by a strong sense of the gap between 
data mining research and its real-world 
application. Jinjiu’s thesis explores ways 
in which fraud detection can be achieved 
through contrast pattern mining
“In industry there is a vast amount of 
information and data available for use but a 
significant lack of knowledge about the data 
itself and how to use it. I want to help close 
that gap.”

ACADEMIC PROFILE
HEADING?
 TEACHING AND ASSESSMENT METHODS  
IT subjects are taught in lectures on the 
UTS City campus, as well as in tutorials 
or laboratories. Students normally attend 
classes for 12 hours per week. You are also 
expected to undertake your own individual 
learning and complete group projects in some 
subjects. 
Information about subject assessment 
tasks is given to you at the beginning of 
each semester. Some subjects may have a 
compulsory final examination, while other 
subjects may not have any examinations at 
all. A variety of other tasks will typically also 
form part of the assessment for each subject. 
These may include tasks such as regular 
written assignments, tutorial participation, 
practical work, projects, short tests or 
seminar presentations.
 HEALTH COVER 
To be granted a student visa by the Australian 
Government, Overseas Health Cover (OSHC) 
is required. It is also a visa condition and 
a student’s responsibility to maintain this 
health cover throughout your stay in Australia. 
The university can arrange visa-length 
cover, the cost of which is to be paid at the 
same time as tuition fees. OSHC covers 
students for emergency medical attention 
through the public health system. It does 
not include physiotherapy, optical or dental 
care, pregnancy, a pre-existing condition or 
the cost of admission to a private hospital or 
non-emergency ambulance transport. Extra 
insurance is available to cover these additional 
expenses.
The annual cost for single cover without extras 
in 2012 was A$480.00.

 FEES 
Tuition fees vary between courses and 
range from approximately A$9,920 to 
A$17,040 per semester for postgraduate 
study in 2013. Tuition fees must be paid 
in advance each semester. Textbooks 
and other course materials are 
additional expenses.
The fees for any semester are determined 
by the number of credit points being 
undertaken in that semester. Unless noted, 
the quoted semester tuition fee assumes 
you will enrol in a standard 100 per cent 
credit point load for your chosen course, 
which is normally 24 credit points per 
semester. Your actual semester course cost 
may differ from this figure depending on 
the course and the number of credit points 
taken per semester.
As an international student you are 
required to complete your degree on time. 
This normally involves being enrolled full-
time each semester.
Please note that fees are subject to 
increase each academic year.

Student Services and Amenities Fee
In 2011 the Australian Government passed 
legislation to allow Australian Universities 
to have a Student Services and Amenities 
Fee (SSAF) to support the maintenance of 
a range of student services at universities. 
At UTS, the SSAF funds provide support to 
Students’ Association sponsored activities 
such as the second-hand bookstore, the UTS 
Union food, beverage and retail outlets and 
student clubs, and UTS services supporting 
skills and language development and the 
UTS Student Legal Centre.
The SSAF will be applicable for international 
students from 2014 onwards. You will be 
required to pay the SSAF in each semester 
in which you enrol and the fee will be due 
after the census date of each semester. The 
SSAF is non-refundable after this date. To 
give you an estimation of the cost, in 2012 the 
SSAF is A$131.50 per semester for full-time 
students (those with a study load of 18 credit 
points and higher per semester). The SSAF 
will be subject to an annual government set 
indexation increase.
