Schools Merged and Programs Closed

The restructure will cut the number of schools from 24 to 15.

It proposes shutting the School of Professional Practice and Leadership, merging the law and business faculties into one, and folding the School of Public Health into a renamed “School of Health and Human Performance.”

The teacher education program will also be disestablished, while the International Studies and Education School will be “rested.”

A total of 167 courses are proposed for discontinuation, many of which had already stopped taking new enrolments.

UTS said courses and subjects were identified based on demand, enrolment trends, strategic alignment, and financial viability. Despite the cuts, the university says it will still offer more than 400 courses and 2,300 subjects.
