Yes, UTS offers an Elite Athletes and Performers Entry Scheme that recognises the impact elite sport and performance can have on students. Eligible applicants will receive 5 adjustments to their selection rank, which will be used to determine entry into UTS courses. Note that UTS does not participate in the Elite Athlete and Performer Scheme assessed by UAC.

Applications for the 2027 intake open on 27 July and close on 30 November 2026.

To apply, you will need your UAC application number and details about your schooling and performance commitments, a completed Training/Rehearsal Schedule and Personal Statement template, a Supporting Statement from your sporting/performance coach or manager (or equivalent on official letterhead), a Supporting Statement from the responsible person at your education institution (or equivalent on official letterhead), and any other applicable supporting documents. Elite performers must also submit a portfolio of work or performance resume.

Domestic students can contact UTS by calling 1300 ASK UTS (1300 275 887) or +61 2 9514 1222 from outside Australia. International students can call +61 2 8806 0230, email international@uts.edu.au, or send a WhatsApp message to +61 489 089 375.

The page refers to the scheme as recognising applicants who are elite athletes or elite performers whose study has been affected by their national athletic or performance history. For elite athletes, this may include state and/or national competition commitments, representative or academy team selections, and club representation. For elite performers, this may include national and/or international competitions, gallery or management representation, and high-level performances such as theatre runs, gigs, or festival appearances.
