It, like many other reformed TAFE colleges, does not deserve to be recognised as a university.
UTS is similar to polytechnical colleges overseas which is something in between a university and a TAFE college. Like polytechs overseas, the emphasis is on "industry" which means a less rigorous approach to teaching and research.

Ironic as UNSW was originally a TAFE college also.§eraphim said:

No, UNSW was founded as a university. There may have been some technical college beforehand, but who cares about that?
hahaha velox where'd you find that? That's a total misconception dude. lol for a unsw student you sound confused...
UNSW was founded in 1949 as the NSW Uni of Technology which primarily based itself upon engineering and science. It then became UNSW in 1958. It was never a low life TAFE college like you said
UTS however started out as an institute just like all those other institutes you find scattered around Sydney like the "Institute of Music" or College of Nursing, and by 1988 then it became recognised as a university. But yep, just as Neb says, who cares...

Lol curry dont get so defensive. It's just something i found interesting. Yeh UTS would lead to a slow and painful death if I had to study there for 5 yrs.
Lol at least I don't use swear words and go all out offensive like you do, just to criticize someone on a minor point...not to mention going into someone's profile for the sake of looking up their name lmao. Anyway let's stop this. I don't want a fight with another student at this good uni.

I'm not familiar with the origins of UTS, but Frigids post (which is nothing new to anyone who read up on UNSW before coming here) does state that UNSW was founded specifically to be a university. The Institute of technology may have been around beforehand, but from that they created UNSW, which was located somewhere else.velox said:
Either way, UNSW is more universityish than UTS.
