Postgraduate research
UTS: Science has a well-developed research culture and is proud of its achievements and track record in teaching and researching innovative science. The research courses focus on applied and practical research to bring about benefits to industry and the community. UTS: Science has strong links with industry and its courses are highly respected for their relevance, skills and research training, and for their professional focus.
UTS: Science wins a substantial part of the competitive grants awarded to the University. Much of UTS: Science's research focuses on the activities of its research institutes, centres and units, which include the University's strategic research strengths (see below).
This concentration of research has enabled UTS: Science to significantly improve the quality of its major equipment and instrumentations in recent years to the benefit of its students.
The research programs may be carried out on either a full-time or part-time basis and it is possible for part-time students to undertake a portion of their research at a site external to UTS, provided appropriate supervisory arrangements can be made. Details of current research in progress can be obtained from the office of the associate dean (research and development).
