UTS City Campus Visit

UTS City Campus Visit

On Friday the 20th of October 68 students from Years 9 and10 met at Blacktown Station to board a train to Central Station to visit the UTS City Campus.

The purpose of the excursion was to give students an insight into the various course offerings at UTS and learn about the different admission pathways offered by UTS.

The UTS City Campus consists of buildings in Broadway and Haymarket. One of the most famous buildings is the Dr Chau Chak Wing Building which provides teaching, learning, research and office accommodation for the Business School. Located in the Haymarket precinct, the building is a landmark along the 'cultural ribbon' that extends from the Sydney Opera House down to UTS, taking in Darling Harbour and The Goods Line development. The building is named after an Australian-Chinese businessman and philanthropist Dr Chau Chak Wing, who donated significantly to the project and a scholarship program.

The excursion also gave students an opportunity to learn about the StartUp Entrepreneurial Program offered at UTS. For many years UTS has encouraged and supported their students to embark on Startups. The program develops entrepreneurial skills and business ideas. Students can develop their creative and business ventures with the support of experienced entrepreneurs and UTS academics. Students gain employability skills and build networks across UTS facilities and UTS business and industry partners.

I wish to thank Ms Harwood, Mrs Parker and Mr Nisbet for taking time out of their teaching day to assist me on the day. I would also like to congratulate all the wonderful students for their exceptional behaviour and conduct on the day. It was a pleasure to be in your company.
