Teaching and learning

Teaching and Learning is a key component in the successful achievement of our UTS: Business mission.

The connection between teaching, industry and research is a distinctive characteristic of UTS: Business courses, and is a product of our active engagement with business, the professions and community. This engagement is what differentiates UTS: Business from its competitors.

We are also committed to internationalising the curriculum through our established global industry and academic partnerships. These partnerships provide many opportunities for research, UTS:International Exchange opens a UTSWeb sub-site and work experience.

We also value diversity to enrich teaching and learning and, with the assistance of UTS:International opens a UTSWeb sub-site, we welcome students from all over the world.

UTS: Business strives for excellence in teaching and learning across all our courses. Students at every level learn to apply core business skills to:

  • problem analysis and decision-making
  • develop strategic responses to current and future issues facing Australian and global business environments
  • communicate in a variety of forms across culturally diverse work environments
  • use information and business support systems
  • reflectively apply leading-edge theory to practical problem solving options and strategies
  • have an awareness of the principles of ethics and corporate governance in a variety of settings
  • develop the capacity to take a leadership role in work situations, and
  • access and critically interpret statistics and apply them in changing business environments.

In 2008 our Teaching and Learning focus is on the 'forward thinking, work ready' aspect of our programs, plus a commitment to effective learning strategies for the acquisition of essential business skills and attributes.
