UTS Academic Calendar

The University of Technology Sydney (UTS), located in Sydney, Australia, operates on a unique academic calendar structured around two main semesters—Autumn and Spring—with an optional Summer session. The Autumn semester typically begins in late February or early March and concludes in June, while the Spring semester runs from late July to November. This structure aligns with the southern hemisphere’s seasonal patterns and includes extended breaks, notably a longer summer break from December to February, allowing students to engage in internships or personal projects. UTS also offers flexible teaching periods within semesters, with intensive block-mode subjects and shorter sessions to accommodate diverse learning needs and professional commitments.
