Overview of ActivateUTS and UTS Sport:

ActivateUTS & UTS Sport exists to enrich the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) student experience and to serve UTS staff, students, and the broader community.

We have a focus on programs and activities that help enhance graduate attributes and prepare students for post-uni life. ActivateUTS & UTS Sports is the campus life hub, therefore when students are not in class, we help them live their best social, cultural, and academic life.
