SIVASANKAR SWAMINATHAN

siva from pondicherry, tamil nadu, india, graduated with a Bachelor of electronics and communication engineering from the pondicherry engineering college and is enrolled in the Master of engineering Management. siva is also a recipient of both the uts international academic excellence scholarship as well as the uts engineering Masters scholarship for outstanding international students.

“I wanted to come to Sydney because Australia is a highly developed country with a great education system. Alumni and friends back at home, who have studied at UTS:Engineering, speak very highly of the programs and the university. The lifestyle here is very different of course, as is the education system, but the university atmosphere here at UTS helped me settle in very quickly.

I wanted to do a course away from my technical knowledge towards management and the Master of Engineering Management/Master of Business Administration is exactly the right program for me. UTS was at the top of my list of universities and was the first one I went to at an IDP exhibition in Chennai. The course is meeting my expectations and I believe the quality of education is great. The professors are very friendly and, if you have any doubts, are very approachable.

The Orientation Program I participated in before semester started was the best and I recommend it to new students – I got to know about so many things, like how all the processes work that as a student you’ll invariably come across; we visited all the different buildings on campus, as the campus is quite big, and were taken by the Peer Networkers to places I wanted to go to and see.

Every Thursday evening I join the ‘Network Café’, which is a program organised for students who want to meet other students – it’s a fantastic platform to meet and make new friends.

As an international student you’re allowed to work part-time, I have a job at an Indian restaurant in Strathfield, where I’m learning about customer service which applies to every job.”

RAQUEL GREGORIO DE ALMEIDA

raquel Gregorio de almeida is from Belo horizonte, the capital of the largest city in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, located in the southeastern region of the country. raquel is currently enrolled in the Master of environmental engineering Management and is a recipient of the uts:engineering Masters scholarship for outstanding international students.

Raquel completed a Bachelor of Surveying Engineering from University of Minas Gerais and has a specialisation in occupational safety engineering. “I had already been working as a consultant engineer, specialising in occupational health and safety, and felt I had a good career but then I decided I wanted to improve my English to work globally.

I had been to Australia for a holiday and realised that Australia would be one of the best options for further studies. I checked the UTS course details, the ranking compared with other universities in Sydney, and realised that UTS was my best option to pursue a Masters of Environmental Engineering Management.

My UTS orientation program was awesome. During the program I learned a lot about University rules and policies, about the library, how to write assignments in academic writing and met new friends. All the subjects are what I was looking for and the professors have outstanding knowledge in the subjects. We have a few group assignments and through this you develop different skills, such as decision making, learning to be patient and you find out about new cultures.

I spend a lot of time at the library, where I can focus on my study during the week. I’ve used the Higher Education Language and Presentation Support (HELPS) service, career counselling and got help for my resume. For accommodation I organised to have a ‘homestay’* with a family in a suburb called Panania. I really enjoy catching the train to come to UTS every day. I joined the Christian group at the campus called Credo and it has been so good to make friends and at the same time to be involved in social activities.

I made the best decision and I’m so glad to come here. I’m pretty sure that my life will never be the same.”

GRADUATE PROFILE:

PEGAH JAFEREH tehran, iranMaster of engineering Management Master of Business administration (technology Management major)

“I finished my accountancy course in 2005, and worked in different accounting positions at a few companies before deciding to explore my options more. The main reason for my life-changing decision was an interesting article I read which said if you want your life to be exciting and fulfilling, you need to change professions every 10 years and not get stuck in one job for eternity.

I chose the MEM because I wanted to improve my knowledge both in Engineering and in

Management and the MEM/MBA looked like the most suitable program between both faculties; although it is engineering management, the program is open to non-engineers because there are no technical subjects involved. I didn’t want to do just an ordinary MBA which is what everybody does these days. I want to use my knowledge and experience to work on international projects after the course.

The course was a bit hard at first because of my non-engineering background, and the lecturers use a fair few engineering phrases but I talked to the lecturers and this boosted my confidence. I learned more about the things that I really care and want to know about. I have no regrets; especially because not a day goes by that I don’t meet people who support me in my bold decision.

I chose Australia simply because I’ve always loved Australia, even from a distance. The landscapes were always beautiful, sunny places where people were laid back and relaxed. I learnt a lot about Australian culture, mainly from my old boss who is Lebanese but was brought up and lived in Australia for a long time.”

DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (PHD)

course code: C02018 cricos code: 036570B duration: 4 years

admission requirements: A UTS recognised master’s degree (with research component) or bachelor’s degree with first or second class honours (division 1), or an equivalent or higher qualification, or submitted other evidence of general and professional qualifications that demonstrates potential to pursue graduate research studies.

The PhD is a university wide degree involving an intense period of supervised study and research, culminating in the submission of a thesis that makes an original, distinct and significant contribution to knowledge in their field of specialisation.

doctoral education FrameworkThe recently developed UTS Framework for Doctoral Education is a structured researcher support program for PhD students. It is aimed at developing well-rounded, workforce ready researchers who have a range of research and professional skills. Through the framework, you will work with your supervisor/s to develop a doctoral study plan (DSP) that is individually tailored to your knowledge and development needs. The DSP maps out your studies for the duration of your PhD, specifies timeframes for progression and identifies which researcher development modules you intend to undertake.

The researcher development modules include a range of subject areas and research skills that are relevant to your research focus. They cover disciplinary knowledge and research methods, as well as research practice.

The framework puts a focus on the collaborative aspects of research. It facilitates your development as a researcher through participation and contribution to UTS and the research community.

In consultation with their supervisor(s), students report their progress at the end of each semester and are assessed prior to advancing to the next stage of candidature.

MASTER OF ENGINEERING (ME) (BY THESIS)

course code: C03017cricos code: 009468B duration: 2 years

admission requirements: A completed UTS recognised bachelor’s degree, or an equivalent or higher qualification, or submitted other evidence of general and professional qualifications that demonstrates potential to pursue graduate research studies.

The Master of Engineering (Research) is as individual program of supervised work which provides practicing engineers with the opportunity to solve an engineering problem in a depth beyond the scope of a Bachelor’s degree and can lead to advanced research in the form of a PhD. A number of candidates undertake topics with the active support of an industry partner. The thesis must make a distinct contribution to knowledge in the area covered. There are no compulsory coursework subjects in this course but one or two subjects can be added if required. There is a formal assessment of progress at the end of the first two semesters.

The doctoral education framework also applies to masters by research degrees.

SHERUB PHUNTSHO

sherub phuntsho is from Bhutan, a small kingdom in the himalayas. he completed a Masters of engineering from uts in 2006 and is now enrolled in a phd in environmental engineering. he has received the international postgraduate research scholarship (iprs), the uts president’s scholarship (utsp) and in 2011 he received a prize for the best oral presentation at the Faculty of engineering and information technology research showcase.

“My research is aimed at developing a new desalination technology for irrigation that requires less energy compared to the current desalination technologies. The concept is based on the principles of natural osmosis that is present in all living cells. This particular research is aimed at using the saline water in the Murray-Darling River Basin for irrigation after desalination, using this low energy technology to help maintain the health of the river eco-system. This Fertiliser Drawn Forward Osmosis (FDFO) desalination technology has the potential to revolutionise the agricultural industry worldwide and make food production possible in many parts of the world with access to salt water.

“ The environmental engineering group at UTS is one of the leading research centres in the world and is willing to help you develop your ideas into innovative and practical applications”Through a grant from the National Centre of Excellence for Desalination Australia and collaborative research with NSW State Water, we have built a pilot-scale desalination unit, which will soon be tested in the field within the Murray-Darling River Basin, using brackish groundwater.

UTS is a great place to do research on engineering and technology. The environmental engineering group at UTS is one of the leading research centres in the world and is willing to help you develop your ideas into innovative and practical applications. You have 24 hour seven days/week access to the labs to study and conduct your research at your convenience. UTS:Engineering collaborates with many other international universities and you could have the chance to work with other leading researchers in some of the world class universities overseas.

My research experience at UTS has encouraged me to continue working on research and innovation to further develop my current research ideas and to commercialise them.”

FEES Tuition fees vary between courses and range from approximately A$9920 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.

please note that fees are subject to increase each academic year.

as an international student you are required to enrol in a full-time load in order to complete your degree in the standard duration.

For detailed information about tuition fees for UTS courses and the UTS Fees and Refund Protocol, visit: www.uts.edu.au/international/prospective/studying/fees

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 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.

For further information go to: www.sau.uts.edu.au/fees/other/service.html

HEALTH INSURANCE 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.
