How can I find out more about a particular course?
The online handbook is the best source of information for all DAB courses and subjects

Is there a midyear intake for DAB courses?
Most DAB postgraduate courses have a midyear intake. To confirm that the postgraduate course you are interested in has a midyear intake refer to the DAB List of Postgraduate Courses Offered for the coming semester.
DAB undergraduate courses currently have no mid year intake.

Is the course offered full-time/part-time?
All Architecture and Design undergraduate degrees are offered as full-time courses only. Property Economics and Construction degrees may be undertaken part-time.
All postgraduate courses may be studied part-time and many are offered as full-time courses.
See the online handbook for typical programs.

Can I do a subject from another faculty?
Undergraduate students may select subjects from other faculties and from the Institute of International Studies (IIS) when choosing their elective subjects

Can I learn a language as part of my DAB course?
The Institute for International Studies (IIS) offers a wide range of Language and Culture subjects which are available to be studied as electives in any of our undergraduate degrees.
Students in the combined degrees with International Studies will study at least 32 credit points of Language and Culture subjects as a requirement of their degree.

Is there a reading list that I can get started on before classes start?
Official reading lists for subjects will be advised on subject outlines given to enrolled students at the beginning of each semester by the subject coordinator.
The online handbook has subject descriptions which may include reading lists, texts or references - it should be noted that these lists are subject to change and the official reading list is the one advised on the subject outline produced for the applicable semester and given to students in class.

How can I get a subject outline?
Subject outlines are given to students when they attend their first class.
Any questions regarding subject outlines should be directed to the relevant subject coordinator.
The Online Handbook provides subject descriptions for many DAB subjects - these are NOT subject outlines but provide very useful information for students when deciding their subject choices.
Further information is available through UTS Online once you have enrolled.

When can I get my assignment back?
Assignments submitted throughout the semester would normally be returned during class.
Final assignments may be collected in week 4 of the following semester. Assignments which remain uncollected after this time will be disposed of according to University guidelines.

What subjects can be taken as electives?
If your course allows open electives, then you may select undergraduate subjects from across the university, including subjects offered by the Institute for International Studies (IIS).
To be able to enrol into cross-faculty electives you must meet any prerequisites put in place by the owning faculty.
You should be aware that some subjects from other faculties are 8 credit point subjects and not 6 credit points as offered by DAB. You need to make up a total of 24 cp to pass the year.
You may also be given permission to enrol into subjects at another tertiary institution and to have the subjects credited back to their UTS degree - please see information on Concurrent Study.
