PROFILES

UTS: ENGINEERING PROFILESI

FROM INDIA Master of Engineering Studies, Master of Engineering Graduate

Harmit Singh recently graduated with a Master of Engineering Studies, Master of Engineering. He now works as a Network Engineer in Vertical Telecoms, providing specialist telecommunication services to government, healthcare and education sectors.

“I always wanted to study Telecommunications. I wanted to be telecom researcher, but when I chose to study in Australia, I didn’t know much about the Australian telecom industry. So the two master’s degrees gave me the necessary exposure to the latest trends and developments.

“The study I completed at UTS is the main reason I am working in the industry today. The course structure is designed in a way that by the time the subject ends, you can see the connections between the theory, assignments and latest technological trends.

“The Alcatel-Lucent certifications offered by UTS are a real opportunity to have hands-on experience with the devices currently being used. I did the Alcatel-Lucent NRSII certification and became the first certified professional from UTS.

“Frankly, UTS showed me how to reach my career goals. I learnt that if you work hard and take necessary steps, you can realise your dreams.”

HARMIT SINGH

FROM INDONESIA Master of Engineering Management, Master of Business Administration Graduate

Marilyn recently graduated with a Master of Engineering Management, Master of Business Administration.

“I chose to study at UTS because they offered a postgraduate course that matched my bachelor’s degree and also with my experience.

“The engineering management is not just about engineering but also about how to manage people and projects. It’s not as easy as it seems as it involves people skills and a good knowledge of accounting.

“The method of teaching that I liked the most while at UTS was the group assessments and the practical assessments from the lecturers, which meant we had to do some research. By completing my degree, I think my foundation of knowledge is now broader and I am more likely to stand out in the crowd when looking for jobs.

“UTS has a lot of international students and they offer services like the Peer Network, UTS Network Café and UTS Careers, which help students to market their skills and experience.

“What I like about living in Sydney is that it is multi-cultural, with people from a lot of different backgrounds. I also like that it’s easy to commute around – and there are so many beautiful places to visit.”

MARILYN PARHUSIP MANISH SINGH

FROM FIJI Master of Environmental Engineering Management Graduate

Manish Singh recently graduated with a Master of Environmental Engineering Management. He now works in a Sydney plastic manufacturing company as a Product Officer, looking after product quality control, market research and manufacturing degradable plastic products.

“Since I had existing knowledge in terrestrial, marine and climate science from my previous studies, I wanted a program that would help me better manage these fields. So I chose to study at UTS and travelled to Sydney to achieve my career goals.

“The master’s program provided both technical and practical applications, and a range of electives to help motivate me along my learning experience. It provided me with the exposure I needed to become more aware of the environment and aided me to better relate my studies with real life experiences. It also boosted my confidence and helped me market myself better as an expert in my field.

“The amazing part of being a student at UTS is the very supportive team of academics. UTS is like a ‘lecturer’, providing students with a range of opportunities to develop their skills. This includes help with assignments, peer mentors and very helpful library facilities, as well as the Accomplish Intensive and SOUL programs.”

PROFILES

UTS: IT PROFILESI

Anupam graduated from a Master of Information Technology (MIT) in 2010. He now works at a Software Engineering Manager at Resolution Media, managing the overall software development process as well as the overseas software development team.

“IT is a very competitive industry and without having good experience and qualifications I feel you don’t have as much chance of standing out in the crowd. Postgraduate studies gave me a foundation in IT project management and outsourcing. I also came to know quite a few Australian IT companies through my classmates who worked full-time. They helped me a lot to understand how projects are executed in real life.

“The most valuable thing I learnt while at UTS was team work – sharing ideas and working together to deliver projects and assignments were my best moments at UTS. My advice to new students would be to get involved in as much team work as you can. This is your best chance to meet and learn from other people sharing similar experiences in the same field.”

JUNAID SAHIBZADA

FROM PAKISTAN Master of Science in Internetworking Graduate

Junaid Sahibzada recently graduated from the Master of Science in Internetworking. He now works as a Service Delivery Manager at IBM, dealing with account management.

“When I started, the Master of Science in Internetworking was the only course around the world which was hands-on and being offered by a reputable university of international ranking. Most of the academics were the best teachers I have ever studied with. They were both theoretically knowledgeable and had practical hands-on experience as well.

“UTS taught me the value of hard work and persistence in the face of hardship. The frequency of new technologies replacing older ones has increased and that means the IT industry is experiencing disruptive innovations on a more frequent basis than before. IT professionals will find their skills outdated more frequently and will need to gain new skills more quickly.

“My advice to students looking to study internetworking would be to stay focused and stay abreast of latest developments in the industry. The Master of Science in Internetworking helped me secure my first position at Alcatel-Lucent as a Network Engineer. I now work as a Service Delivery Manager with IBM.”

Student Services and Amenities FeeIn 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 ActivateUTS Eat.Drink, beverage and retail outlets and student clubs, and UTS services supporting skills and language development and the UTS Student Legal Centre.

The SSAF is applicable for all international students. 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 2014 the SSAF is A$140.50 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.
