“Many of the teachers are working actively in the industry, which meant that they could share real-time, practical knowledge and teach the skills needed to work in the newsroom.”SARAH BERRY

Graduate Journalism Masters Fairfax Health and Lifestyle writer

“The course put me in contact with lecturers who were or had been professional journalists and knew not only how to source and write a good story, but how to go about getting it published. I have been working as a reporter on both the online and print editions of The Australian Financial Review. The website was relaunched this year, and I have become one of the first journalists to write an evolving column online each day that later forms the basis for a story in the paper. I am surrounded by brilliant, talented people, have the opportunity to write about global events and have access to the most influential and powerful people in the country.”

STEVEN BRIFFA Graduate Diploma in Digital Information Management

“I have found that the skills and experiences I gained while at UTS have been tremendously useful when applied in the workplace. I have worked in academic library roles and in information architecture/web related roles and believe UTS provides a perfect balance of theoretical and applied coursework.

The bar is set high when it comes to outcomes and students consistently exceed their own expectations due to the quality of the material and staff delivering it.

SUSAN HURLEY Master of Arts in Creative Writing

“My masters degree at UTS was invaluable in helping me make the transition from a business career to a writing life. I was able to workshop the draft of a book through a number of my subjects at UTS and I also had a couple of short stories published in the UTS annual Writers’ Anthology.

I particularly enjoyed some of the more academic areas of the course such as Theory and Writing, but far and away the best thing that I gained from my time at UTS was the ongoing support and friendship of other aspiring writers.

I published my first novel, Love at the Railway Hotel, towards the end of my studies. Inspired by this milestone and by the successes of a number of my fellow UTS creative writing students, I am now working on a second novel.”

Why Writing at UTS?GET PUBLISHEDBuilding a portfolio and pitching your work are both key components of our courses. The annual UTS Writers’ Anthology is also a great opportunity for exposure!
