Are uht milk and homogenized milk same thing?
UHT milk will always be homogenised, but homogenised milk is not always UHT treated. UHT is a heat treatment applied to kill spoilage organisms and extend shelflife. Homogenisation is a process of breaking up large globules of butterfat into many smaller pieces of equal size. This prevents the butterfat from settling out of the milk and creating a cream layer on top of the milk.
What is the term for boxed milk that has a long shelf-life and does not need refrigeration?

What is the difference between fresh milk and uht treaded milk and any advantages and disadvantages?
Fresh milk, often referred to as homogenised and pasteurised milk, is sold in the chilled food section of the supermarket. It has a short shelf life and must be kept below 4°C to maintain freshness. Ultra High Temperature (UHT) milk, which is sometimes called 'long-life milk,' is slightly different to fresh milk. It has had extra treatment that enables it to be stored at room temperature (as long as it is unopened) for extended periods. Pasteurisation involves heating the milk to 72°C for 15 seconds to kill harmful bacteria that may be present, the UHT milk is heated to 275°F for a couple of seconds. During the homogenisation the milk is passed through a fine nozzle to create a smooth, creamy taste and texture. Fresh milk is then packaged and refrigerated. During the UHT treatment a small percentage of vitamins is destroyed.
What keeps UHT milk from going off?

Does UHT milk when packaged in Tetra packs have any preservatives to maintain a shelf life of approx 6 months?
There should be no preservatives in UHT milk. UHT is a heat treatment of roughly 142°C for 2 - 3 seconds that kills all pathogens and spoilage organisms. The reason for the long shelflife is due to very low bacterial presence and special packaging. The packaging keeps out light, air and bacteria and helps to keep the milk from being spoiled.
