Graduate Certificate in Information Technology

Admission to UTS Information Technology is based on your selection rank (ATAR + adjustment factors), which varies by course and year. Entry is competitive, as ranks depend on available places and applicant demand. You can also complete the UTS Engineering and IT Portfolio (Year 12) questionnaire to demonstrate your strong motivation to study engineering. If you fall short of the Selection Rank by 1–3 points, UTS will still consider your application. Check the latest ATAR and selection ranks using the UTS admission stats tool.
