President’s Welcome
First and foremost, congratulations and a very warm welcome to UTS:Law! You are about to embark on a journey full of opportunities, including acquiring a breadth of knowledge from highly accomplished academics, and developing life-long friendships with like-minded peers and future colleagues. While the next few years will be particularly demanding, you will find that it is equally rewarding. The law is fascinating as it governs every aspect of our day-to-day lives. You are very fortunate to be undertaking your tertiary studies at an institution renowned for its commitment to innovation and practice-based learning, as well as its collaborative student community. By the end of your degree, you will leave equipped with a wealth of knowledge and skills applicable to a range of career paths, from corporate law, criminal law, international humanitarian law, government, academia, or consultancy (to name a few). It is important that you embrace different opportunities beyond the classroom that further your professional development. It is equally important to maintain your wellbeing and balance the long hours of hard work required by your degree with other things that you enjoy doing. We can help you with that.
