UTS offers its students a lively, supportive and diverse learning environment across three campuses, and a range of social, cultural and sporting facilities to enrich each student's experience. The main UTS campus is located in a vibrant and diverse environment in the heart of the City near Haymarket and Darling Harbour. Additional smaller campuses are located in Sydney's northern suburbs - Kuring-gai at Lindfield, and St Leonards at Gore Hill. The University's goal is to provide a level of higher education that informs, instructs and augments knowledge and skills relevant to students' futures in professional life. UTS develops and regularly revises its programs of study in partnership with industry, government and professional bodies, so that its degrees are based on the latest professional standards and current practices. As a result, UTS produces graduates who are ready for work, and this is demonstrated in the high numbers of its students who are members of the workforce within a few months of finishing their degree. UTS regards learning as a lifelong experience, and offers a range of programs to cater for the educational needs of people at a variety of stages in their lives, and from diverse backgrounds and cultures. Each faculty is responsible for programs across a number of key disciplines, and many offer courses in conjunction with one another, or with the Institute for International Studies. Courses developed and delivered by these faculties reflect the University's commitment to providing a relevant education to students through flexible and work-based modes of learning and through the ongoing internationalisation of the curriculum. The Faculty of Education is situated on two sites: adult, vocational and language and literacy education in the central area of the city and primary and secondary teacher education on the North Shore at its Kuring-gai campus, set at the edge of a national park, 20 minutes from the city centre. It offers programs that prepare students for professional practice in the full range of educational contexts: primary and secondary teaching, community education, Aboriginal education, vocational education, language and literacy education at school and adult levels, and human resource development. The adult education program is one of the largest in the world with over 50 academics involved in a variety of fields. The primary program offers the full range of curriculum areas and there are also specialist secondary programs in personal development, health and physical education, science and mathematics education. The Faculty is distinguished by its global operations and its commitment to internationalism. Over recent years courses and other projects have been presented in a variety of offshore locations including Laos, Mexico, Japan, Oman, Kuwait, Hong Kong and mainland China. In addition, teaching experience practicums in the primary program are offered in China, Laos and Thailand.
