with the 1 yr internships UTS gives, is there a high chance of keeping that job and do you actually do stuff there or just stand around and do little things?

Well, considering the company pay you whilst you're doing your internship, i'd say you wont be standing around and do little things. and if you do good at your internships and the employers like you then yeah theres no reason why you cant keep your job, most FT students change to PT after a while as they get offered a job during their internship.
I assume that you're referring to the work experience that is arranged by the university while you are undertaking your particular course? If so, this work experience is unpaid and you are typically only there for a restricted amount of time - however, what this does mean is that you are essentially "getting your foot in the door" at the particular firm, and so when you do finish your degree and graduate and if you did create a good impression while you were undertaking your internship, you will have a much higher chance of being employed full-time and on a permanent basis!
