This information is current as at January 2008. The latest information is available from the Faculty of Information Technology.

Information technology is an international profession and UTS:IT has extensive international collaborations and relationships in both education and research. Over the past five years, the Faculty has seen a significant increase in the number of international students undertaking both undergraduate and postgraduate coursework programs and research degrees.

In both undergraduate and postgraduate programs, the Faculty seeks to emphasise the international dimension of professional development and practice in information technology. Faculty staff come from a variety of international backgrounds and are encouraged to develop international relationships and gain international experience through research projects or study leave. Undergraduate students can spend one year overseas gaining valuable educational and cultural experience through the combined degree with the Bachelor of Arts in International Studies. In addition, the Faculty maintains articulation arrangements for international undergraduate students through approved programs with INSEARCH, through pathway programs with Unilearn and HKCC, and by offering an IT major to business students from Taylor's College in Kuala Lumpur.

The Faculty has a number of Adjunct Professors from around the world, including Professor Carles Sierra, Autonomous University of Barcelona and Senior Research Professor with the Spanish Research Council; and Professor Alan Davis, College of Business, University of Colorado.
