The future of work

Digital disruption• Automation technologies will disrupt workforces

across the economy.

• 3.5 million FTE jobs could be affected with 1.8 million to 5 million workers needing to change

professions. • People at work will spend over 60 percent more

time using technological skills and over 40 percent more time using social and emotional skills.

*McKinsey and Company, The automation opportunity: Reigniting productivity and inclusive income growth in Australia (March 2019)

Evolving approaches globally• Important elements for education:

• Enterprise skills

• Problem solving• Communication

• Digital literacy• Resilience

• UTS’s response: transformation to a lifetime of learning

“For the first time Indigenous people will be the hosts, not

the guests in a place based around their traditions and

identity.

This isn't an equity initiative, it is an excellence initiative. It's

not something for five or 10 years; it's inter-generational.”

- Michael McDaniel, Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Indigenous Leadership and Engagement)

Career opportunities include security analyst, security system developer, information security auditor, IT security engineer

Growth: Australia may need 18,000 additional cybersecurity workers by 2026 (Source: AustCyberSector Competitiveness Plan 2018).

Why has this major been introduced?

Ø Cybersecurity is a growing global concern

Ø Cybersecurity is now becoming such a big area that there are opportunities for different types of cybersecurity graduates, e.g. privacy

Ø This major includes 3 key subjects not typically covered in traditional cybersecurity studies:• Data analytics in

cybersecurity• Privacy preserving• Secure programming and

penetration testing

What will students be doing?Seven core subjects:Security FundamentalsCyber SecurityInformation Security and ManagementPrivacy PreservingSystem SecuritySecure Programming and Penetration TestingData Analytics in Cyber Security

Choose one option from:Digital ForensicsEmerging Topics in Cyber Security and Privacy

Change in name of major: Bachelor of Science in IT and

Bachelor of Computing Science

Networking and Cybersecurity

Networking and Cybersecurity

Also includes networking – routing and

switching, network management, software

defined networks

Subjects include network servers, cybersecurity for

mobile platforms, IoT security, digital forensics

Career opportunities include network and systems

engineer, security analyst, network and/or security

Growth: Apart from cybersecurity growth, ‘Computer

Network Professionals’ is expected to grow by around

11% over next 5 years, with an average of 3400 job

openings per year.

What’s changed?

Ø We have removed the “applications” part and replaced it with cybersecurity subjects that focus on how to protect different kinds of computer networks from cybersecurity breaches, for example:• traditional wired networks• mobile networks / mobile apps• Internet of Things networks and devices

Ø The major has a core of both networking subjects and cybersecurity subjects, and students can choose option subjects in either (or both) areas.

What's new in 2019?

UTS Insearch offers diplomas in Business, Communication, Design & Architecture, Engineering, IT and Science

Another way into UTS

The teaching model focuses on life-long learning skills. This means small classes, formative assessments, more face-to-face hours and an emphasis on collaboration in and outside the classroom

Admission is calculated based on the students average HSC subject result, nottheir ATAR score

Using the average of their HSC marks, students can be placed in either the Accelerated, Standard or Extended diploma program.

UTS Insearch students can now apply direct (no application fee) to UTS via our application form

A direct pathway to UTS

Students should only submit a UAC application if they want to apply for a UTS course that isn’t in the articulation agreement between UTS Insearch and UTS

Providing the student successfully completes their UTS Insearch diploma with the required minimum GPA*, we will make them a direct offer

Educational Access

Schemes

InpUTS

• This scheme takes into account disadvantageous circumstances that may impact academic performance and adjusts the course cut off by 10 points

• Circumstances include: disrupted schooling, financial hardship, home or school environment, socio-economic disadvantage, English language difficulty, personal illness or disability, or refugee status

• To apply, students submit applications through UAC

• Students must achieve a minimum ATAR of 69.00.

SRS

• SRS uses students’ academic results and the

school’s endorsement of their ability to succeed

at university study to make course offers at UTS

• The scheme targets students specifically from

low-SES backgrounds and must be eligible for

UAC Educational Access Schemes (EAS) for:

1. school environment disadvantage (S01C),or

2. socio-economic disadvantage (AG01), or

3. financial hardship disadvantage (F01A, F01B,

F01C or F01D)

• Students must also achieve a minimum ATAR of

80.00 for Law or 69.00 for all other courses.

AG01 -Socio-Economic

• After students have applied for undergraduate admission through UAC, if the residential address they entered in their UAC undergraduate application is identified by the Australian Bureau of Statistics as being in the lowest quartile of socio-economic disadvantage in Australia -search abs.gov.au for information about the Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA0)

• To claim additional disadvantages, students still need to submit an EAS application, but don’t need to include details about the disadvantage in their automatically-generated application.

New disadvantage codes for 2019-2020

H04B -Out Of Home Care Status

New disadvantage codes for 2019-2020

• H04B has been established to mitigate the long-term educational disadvantage incurred any time prior to or during Year 11 and/or Year 12
