Overview OF DIPLOMA OF ENGINEERING
The Diploma of Engineering provides students with knowledge of the core disciplines of mathematics and physics and is a pathway to the Bachelor of Engineering at UTS. Students who successfully complete the Diploma of Engineering will understand the practical uses for engineering, gain skills from each of the subject areas and will be able to communicate professionally and ethically in engineering environments. Students have the option of starting their engineering specialisations while they are studying at Insearch.
The diploma offers a range of electives, for example, a student who is planning to study civil engineering, electrical, chemical, mechatronics or mechanical, can take at least one core subject while at INSEARCH. Graduates of the Diploma of Engineering will have the breadth, depth and complexity of the skills and knowledge needed to be able to plan, manage and review a range of solutions to problems in engineering environments.
WHO SHOULD STUDY THE STANDARD PROGRAM?
The Diploma of Engineering (Standard) is ideal for students who have results below direct entry requirements for the UTS Bachelor of Engineering degre and would like to study at a slower pace.
Students who gain entry to this course should complete the diploma in 12 months.
Note: Students are assumed to have previously successfully studied a calculus-based mathematics course of senior secondary standard. At enrolment all students will sit a mathematics readiness survey to determine their appropriate mathmatics subjects.

articulation to uts FOR AUSTRALIAN STUDENTS
Australian students (and permanent residents) graduating from the new INSEARCH diplomas (from Semester Two 2010 onwards) are guaranteed a place in the corresponding undergraduate degree at UTS if they achieve a pre-specified GPA (Grade Point Average) in their INSEARCH diploma. The required GPA will change from year-to-year. Please click here for current GPA requirements.
If the published GPA requirement is above the actual GPA requirement for a specific intake, then applicants will be considered for an offer based on the lower, actual GPA requirement. Please note that CSP places for all UTS undergraduate courses are available for the Autumn (February) intake. The Engineering faculty at UTS also offer mid-year (July) intakes for INSEARCH diploma students through Direct Application to UTS. The direct application form is available from the Insearch Student Services Office from 19 April 2010.
Graduates from the INSEARCH diplomas accepted into a relevant UTS undergraduate degree of their choice will receive up to 48 credit points of recognised prior learning (RPL) or advanced standing. Please click here for details.
Graduates who started their INSEARCH diploma prior to Semester Two, 2010 are eligible to apply for admission on a competitive basis.
Diploma Articulation to UTS - How to Apply
Applicants for UTS Autumn semester who complete their Insearch studies by September must apply through UAC. Applicants who complete their Insearch studies in February must lodge a direct application available in August from the Insearch Student Centre.
Applicants from UTS Spring semester must lodge a direct application available in April from the INSEARCH Student Centre.
