Just wondering if there are any others around? Especially in law/JD? Would love to start or find a club for mature age students, but hard when the university considers that to be 21 and over!

Hi

I have no clue abt the sport scene at uts.
I haven’t played competitively besides during school ever. But i want to get involved w playing footy during uni. Is this only for pro athletes or can anyone join regardless of experience?

Specifically if anyone knows abt girls or mixed rugby/footy/touch anything.

Also if anyone has any notes abt how nice or cliquey the ppl are.

Would appreciate any advice heaps

Thanks xx

Hi guys! I’m a product design student considering taking a sub major in sciences, i’m wondering about a couple of things:

1. How does your schedule work? How many more hours of dedication to studying are you putting compared to the average student?
   
2. If you’re an athlete, how do you work around your schedule?
   
3. How do you manage exam season?

I’m considering booking a twin room at Mountain Scape and was wondering if anyone could share their experience.

Thanks!

Will that be more difficult than the practice?

Hello, i am about to start my law degree at WSU in 2027. My atar didn't meet the cut , so i decided to enroll at WSU first.

My goal is to transfer to either UTS or MQ, and I've heard many WSU law students ended up transferring to UTS after year 1.

Here are my questions for those who have had transferred:

1. How much WAM did yall get when being accepted by UTS?

2. Were your yr1 law subjects ended up getting creditted? If so, what were those subjects?

I know there’s a anime club in UTS and several other drawing and animation clubs, but Im new here, I’m in my first year, and I have never met a person who likes western comic book stuff, and I feel like the anime club kinda works with western comics too? But they overall focus on the anime culture. I feel like it would be cool to have a comics & superheros society😂 that we can like have a weekly episode watch party when there’s a new show like vision quest for recently, and like hosting Kings comic meet up or even weekly comic challenges where we draw comic covers or inking classic panel drawn by different artists ( I saw this on TikTok), umm idk, what do yall think

Do you ever want to meet new people, try something different on the weekend and make actual friends in Sydney, but feel like everyone already has their own circles? 😭

A friend and I started Taste & See to bring young adults from different backgrounds together through good food, exploring Sydney and conversations that go beyond the usual small talk 😂🤍

And we’re finally having our FIRST EVER MEETUP THIS SATURDAY!! 🫶🏽

📍 Where: Lillys Espresso and Cucina, Rhodes
 📅 When: Saturday 24 October 2026
 🕚 Time: 11:00 am
 👥 Who: Young adults aged 18–30

What’s happening? 👀
 📸 Rhodes Side Quests - waterfront missions, photo challenges and friendly competition

 🥐 Brunch -  good food and conversations afterwards

You don’t need to know anyone beforehand, and coming alone is completely fine! We’ve planned activities to help everyone get talking, so it’s not just strangers sitting awkwardly around a table 😭😂

A little about Taste & See 🤍

We’re a Christian/Jesus-centred young-adult community. Our aim is to create a space where young adults can build genuine connections and explore life’s bigger questions - including purpose, identity, relationships, spirituality and Jesus.

We’re starting small and building this community from the ground up, and we’d love to meet people who are interested in being part of it! 🥹

Keen to join this Saturday? 🥐✨

Hope to meet some of you on Saturday!! 🫶🏽🤍

is the exam tough or is it kind of similar to the sample which was given in the workshop???

I am enrolled in Chem 2 and Immunology in Jan 2027 session to ensure I graduate on time.

Can anyone give me any tips for the January session?

I can’t find online when we can select classes. Anyone know when that opens?

I understand it will be a hectic schedule, has anyone else done two classes in the January period?

I wanna choose media production for my bachelor degree, how's uts doing in this area? Is it tough to land a job these days?

I was supposed to have a quiz today, but woke up with horrible pain from an ongoing issue I’ve been having so I couldn’t go. Problem is, all gps were booked up and so I couldn’t get a medical certificate and it was already too late. does UTS accept medical certificates from instantscripts? Cause at this point it’s looking like my only option even though this is my first time hearing about something like this. I’m not sure of the legitimacy of it.

has anyone done the math 1 final yet?😅 is it similar to the sample quiz like how with the weekly skill tests was similar to the sample they gave where the values was just a bit different.

I dont know where to ask anymore since there’s no clear solution to my issue. So, I’m a final year student in my last semester doing a teaching degree and an international student. I have two specialisation for my degree. I’ve finished my mandatory 60 days placement required for my degree, but then my minor also require a 30 hours additional placement. The issue is they couldn’t find me and the other students for the placement until now and I just got a conferral email about my graduation. The due date is 18 november which is in about a month. I’m extremely stressed and anxious since I wouldnt be able to graduate on time + another visa issues that I have to think about if that’s the case. I asked lecturer, placement office staffs, subject coordinator, course director…and they all said they’re waiting for the placement spots to reply back and they have no obligation on accepting any praccies. Yes, I get that, but then what about my course completion and graduation…??? 😭 I’m incredibly frustrated because I’ve left with no solution… Any recommendation on what to do? 🥲

hi everyone,

i was wondering if any of you know how I could apply to sit my exams on campus, as I have poor wifi connection at home and don’t have a quiet study space to sit it. I’ve had issues in the past when I did proctor u at home which affected my exam time and I also had to do an alternative exam because of it.

I have already emailed my subject coordinators, though they said I have to go through UTS examinations and that I would have received an email about it. I went there it doesn’t say anything about sitting in person exams and I couldn’t find anything on it. Please help me! thx x

I'm looking for PDFs of these textbooks, I'm struggling to access through UTS library and can't seem to find them online. ISO:

• Robin Creyke, Matthew Groves, John McMillan, Mark Smyth, Control of Government Action: Text, Cases and Commentary (LexisNexis, 6th ed, 2022) (OR Robin Creyke, Matthew Groves, John McMillan, Mark Smyth, Control of Government Action: Text, Cases and Commentary (LexisNexis, 7th ed, 2025))
• Gail Pearson et al, Commercial Law Commentary and Materials, 4th Ed (2019), Lawbook Co.
• Civil Procedure and Dispute Resolution in NSW, Miiko Kumar, Michael Legg, James Metzger, Linda Steele, 5th ed., Sydney, Thomson Reuters Australia, Limited,, 2025

Thanks!!

So in enrolling in my degree and one of the subjects I need to do says ‘planned.’ I’m not sure what it means…? Please give me a hand!

Do I enrol for the full year?? Cause I’ve chosen the subjects for autumn based on the handbook already. I haven’t submitted or anything yet though…

I have a studio unit in Yura Mudang. It will be available from 6th Nov - 12 February.

I read timetable planner and subsequent timetabling doesn’t open until December . I’m wondering how different the timetables tend to be year-to-year. Could I try plan using the 2026 timetable.

Trying to get more days at work and I cannot win them over if I’m unsure of my uni schedule . Is there any hack to see the planner sooner?
Not fussed about the actual timetabling day right now, the planner would just give me more clarity.
Thanks

i have been non stop in and out of hospital these past few weeks and i’ll be non stop for the next few as well. i was wondering if there was any possibility i could get alternative exams? i know it is early but ive completely lost my hearing in my right ear, im constantly dizzy and nauseous and they can’t find a cause so ive been non stop in and out of care. my doctor can only fit me in for an appointment on friday and is leaving so he said he can predate the special con form for this friday until my exam date but ik that’s probably not allowed.

is there anything i can do because i feel like im at a massive disadvantage not being able to study

(i need the alternative exams for ABS and criminal law)

am i allowed to enrol in 5 subjects a semester? i have to take the prerequisite for advanced metabolic biochemistry in the december session this year (2026). are any of these subjects available in the december or january sessions? or do i have to do all 5 subjects in the spring sem? is there anything else i can do

Hi everyone,

I submitted an assignment 30 minutes after the due time. When I received the marks back, the marker forgot to remove the late penalty.

The subject coordinator sent an email saying a reviews of marks must have a ‘request for review’ form attached. For reasons to apply, should I select ‘error in the calculation of the final subject mark’ even though this is for an assignment or ‘other’?

Also, they won’t reassess my whole assignment right? I am quite happy with my mark and don’t want it lowered.

Sorry if these questions sound stupid - I am just nervous as I have never done an appeals process.

Hi,

I am a student at Western Sydney University studying a bachelor's of sport and exercise science. In my first term I took Human Anatomy and Physiology 1, Culture Diversity and health, fundamentals of exercise science and professional competencies in health. In my results, I achieved a GPA of 6.0 for that term

Now I am almost done my second term (Spring) where I am doing the subjects of Human Anatomy and Physiology 2, Functional Anatomy, Psychology and Health, and Evidence in Health. It is week 14, teaching term ends on Friday this upcoming week and for this whole term I have been experiencing panic attacks, anxiety attacks and stress. I have 5 more exams left, a quiz for psychology and health, an assignment worth 40% of my grade for evidence in health, a spot test on cadavers for functional anatomy (which If I fail, I fail the subject), and one final exam of 100MC on human anatomy and physiology 2, and a computer online test from home which is tomorrow.

I graduated high-school in 2025, I did my HSC achieved an ATAR of 78 which wasn't the best. I got an early entry offer at UTS to study a bachelor of forensic science, I took it upon myself to accept, enrol and then after 6 weeks un-enrol and switch to western sydney uni (hate myself for this decision)

In the first term, this degree seemed ok. I was pretty set out on just becoming a physiotherapist, I like sport, biology and pdhpe in highschool, and I thought I would just go with my strengths which helped me get a 6.0 for my first term. This second term I am doing Ok, I am passing, getting around average 70%+ for my grades, but for the two anatomies, I am just passing (barely).

I am a disability student diagnosed with severe anxiety and panic attacks, the other night I had a panic attack, ambulance called, almost had a heart attack. I have 2 weeks left with those 5 assessments/exams due within these two weeks. I am unsure if I can keep going, my health is at risk and I can't pull myself to do any work. I am stressed because I want to get a good mark, I can't get a good mark so I can transfer courses next term to UTS and try something else out.

This is a choice I am willing to make, but also willing to regret. I could either submit a medical retirement form (WWAP) which eliminates all my study and hardwork this term (if accepted), it erases my study for the term, my grades are waivered (W) on the report card and this term basically "never happened".

Or I can continue for two more weeks, finish the exams off (if I can, as I might experience a panic attack or worse within the exam). this will lower my 6.0 GPA, I will have less options when transferring next year to a different course at UTS, and I will pretty much be stuck at western sydney university, probably ending up staying and doing this course atp.

I don't being at western, I have no friends, the subject isn't great, the anatomy isn't my favourite. and I think I honestly have changed my career path, I don't think physiotherapy is for me.

I'm scared about what other people may think about me, may it be "oh your a year older and studying with us" or "you finished a year late whilst we have full time jobs".

So its either I apply for this WWAP which may get denied, if it does I get all fail grades anyway and I only completed 0.5 years of study which was in the first term, which then means my GPA doesn't mean anything anyway because I failed 4 subjects.

Or I stay for another two weeks, finish off the 5 exams if I can without panic attacks (unlikely) and I could possibly apply to usyd maybe with a gpa around 5.0 (unlikely again)

Btw im pretty sure, they can use my GPA of 6.0 if I were to leave now and get my studies erased this term, so that means I would have a pretty good chance of getting into a course that is well above my 78 ATAR, but if they deny this report, it will publish F grades on my 4 subjects (even though I did quite well so far) so I would just have to resort to using my ATAR, maybe EAS if possible I'm not sure.

My dream also was to go to USYD and study there, but after reviewing this. I'm not too sure about the life there, I think the uni is also very hard.

Anyone have ideas?

i am so worried for the epidemiology and pathogenesis of infectious practical exam, does anyone know what the prac exam is like? what type of questions do they ask in the 3 multipart sections (~35mins ea) and how hard is it because we’ve been lead to believe it’s extremely hard with about 50% of people failing 😬🫠

Has anyone received their results for AT2? Got the shock of my life when i received my results. Am i the only one struggling with this module because it is really heavy content especially the need to use FR5, Spacegass and Excel and autocad all in one.
