Rank or ATAR? Which number counts

About studying tourism, sport & hospitality

This is a broad category covering tourism, hospitality, events, sport and recreation. The individual course matters more here than the area does.

This describes the field in general, not this course. Check the university's page for what this course covers.

Getting into tourism, sport & hospitality courses

Selection is primarily ATAR-based and entry ranks in this area are often among the lower ones at a university. Units 3 and 4 English is the usual prerequisite. This is a broad area covering quite different careers, so read the individual course rather than the category.

This describes the field in general, not this course. Check the university's page for what this course covers.

These are the lowest rank and the lowest ATAR that got an offer in 2025, not a cut-off or a guarantee. Next year's depends on how many places there are and who applies. How ATARs really work · Didn't get the ATAR you needed?

Do students stay and finish?

Source: Dept of Education, 2024

Of students who started at UTS in 2016, nine years later:

Finished a degree
82.7%
Still studying
2.6%
Left after returning
11.2%
Never came back after first year
3.6%

More recently: of new UTS bachelor students in 2023, 5.4% didn't come back to study at any university the following year.

Students are followed if they move: finishing a degree at another university counts as finishing, and moving to another university doesn't count as leaving. Read these alongside the quality measures, not instead of them. Completion and attrition partly reflect who a university enrols – universities serving more regional, mature-age and part-time students naturally run higher attrition without being worse at teaching.

What it costs, next to what graduates earn

Total student contribution:3 years × $18,025/year ≈ $54,100Estimate

The Australian government sets this rate by field of study, so it is the same at every university in the country – UTS did not set it and cannot discount it. Your exact total depends on the subjects you pick. Paid through HELP once you're earning, not upfront. How HECS-HELP works
