The continuing transformation of UTS, the top young and emerging university, into one of the world's top photonics institutions is being made possible by leading facilities such as iPL. In 2019, UTS was recognised as the leading impact University in Australia and the region, putting it in the top tier universities in the world. All this whilst continuing to maintain a humble culture that never forgets the role of excellence and hard work.
Each of these projects is available for post-graduate study for more able students - iPL
encourages high quality students to apply for post-graduate support.
Ultimately, having a PhD or some form of postgraduate degree is critical
in most cases involving the coming new technologies.
UTS will cover student fees and a stipend for truly outstanding students only particularly from a leading institution. Others will have to pay - iPL offers the best training environment so expectations for personal transformation and evolution are very high indeed so not everyone is suited. Nonetheless, those that can get through will find the rewards justify the investment. Where equal quality applicants exist, some preference may be given towards those from partner institutions with signed MOUs or KTP connections - please note this will note override excellence.
