Message from the Dean

Welcome to the Faculty of Business.

The Faculty offers an extensive range of programs at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. It also offers an extensive range of executive short courses.

As one of the largest business faculties in Australia, we offer the resources of five discipline-based teaching schools in the areas of accounting; finance and economics; leisure, sport and tourism; management; and marketing. Additionally, the Graduate School of Business administers all postgraduate studies.

Approximately 9,000 students (1,900 of whom are international students) are enrolled in our courses. This accounts for nearly 30 per cent of the UTS student population.

The Faculty has a reputation for delivering high-quality educational programs that combine academic rigour with practical relevance. The Faculty's lecturers bring insights gained through their distinguished academic and research backgrounds, as consultants to business and government, and as scholars who continue to receive a high number of grants and industry funding for projects, thus ensuring that leading-edge knowledge is passed on to their students.

Our established partnerships with industry, the business professions and other academic institutions, both in Australia and overseas, offer students the opportunity for research, international exchange and work experience. The Faculty also offers students flexibility of choice in course subjects and attendance patterns, and the option of taking subjects during Summer session to fast-track their course.

The Faculty is centrally located in Haymarket, close to public transport, and also at Lindfield on Sydney's North Shore.

We wish you every success with your studies and trust your time here will be a rewarding experience.

Professor Rob Lynch, Dean
