Overview
UTS College teaches Academic English at UTS Building 5 on Quay Street in Haymarket. The Student Centre assists with matters such as enrolment, student ID cards, payments and accommodation. Computer labs and campus Wi-Fi support work between classes. Learners can also access academic resources through Canvas and the HELPS Centre. Academic English is designed for study at an English-speaking university. Students practise research, presentations, group work and academic writing, including referencing. The level needed for a Foundation, diploma or degree pathway depends on the intended program’s entry requirements. Academic English is linked to different progression routes at UTS College. The College describes AE4 as a possible route into eligible Standard or Accelerated diplomas. UTS lists AE5 among its English pathways. Students who know their destination can use the College’s entry criteria to see whether they need one level or a sequence of levels in Haymarket.

Assessment covers reading, writing, speaking and listening through work such as written assignments, group presentations and exams. Students need to pass the learning outcomes for all four skills. Check the academic calendar and the level named in your offer. AE4 has a published progression route for eligible diploma applicants. Ask the College which Academic English level applies to your particular diploma, degree or Foundation offer.

Fees
Academic English tuition is AUD 640 per week in 2026 and AUD 660 in 2027, giving AUD 6,400 or AUD 6,600 in tuition for one ten-week level. The college lists a one-off, non-refundable international student processing fee of AUD 300 for 2026, making the 2026 study subtotal AUD 6,700. Confirm the processing fee for your offer year and any package. Accommodation, insurance and travel are separate. The College uses the fee for the calendar year of study. A pathway that crosses from 2026 to 2027 may therefore include levels at different weekly rates. For example, one ten-week level at each published rate would give AUD 13,000 in tuition across the two levels. UTS College says an eligible Academic English package with a Foundation, diploma or UTS degree requires one international student processing fee for the package. Confirm the processing charge and any later program charges in writing. Repeating a subject can also add the relevant subject fee, so the illustration assumes that each level is passed on the first attempt.

Ask about the route and travel cost before choosing it over a room on Quay Street. The College also lists independent shared housing for over-18s, including houses with single and twin rooms.
