About University of Tasmania (UTAS)
Welcome to the University of Tasmania
Changing the world is not simple. It takes thought, time, persistence, and insight. But most of all, it takes something extraordinary. So at the University of Tasmania, we’ve made the pursuit of the extraordinary a never-ending commitment.
It influences everything we do. The way we teach. The way we research. The way we learn. And the way we live.
Study outstanding courses in one of the world’s most extraordinary locations
Tasmania is unique and so are Tasmanians. We believe in our island. We embrace the unusual. And we love imagination.
From our vibrant cities to the stillness of our World Heritage-listed wilderness, our incredible island is a place of contrasts – and we embrace its character in everything we do.
We offer great courses in an extraordinary location, and our teaching is supported by world-leading research, so you know you’re getting direct access to the best expertise.
A focus on excellence
Our nationally-distinctive architecture, nursing, medicine and law courses give you access to real-life learning experiences. We’re the only university in the state, which means you will get unparalleled access to industry connections through our institution’s partnerships.
Our very island itself is a living laboratory, giving us excellent course strengths in the natural and social sciences. Being the gateway to the Southern Ocean gives us unique study offerings in marine, climate, Antarctic and ocean science and a broad range of maritime studies.
We’re passionate about the arts, and Tasmania is now known around the world as the centre for contemporary art and the home of Mona.
As an art student here you will be at the heart of this creative revolution. Our students showcase their creative work to the community, guided by teachers who are themselves respected and experienced artists.
We never forget our past either, as our historians share their insights into our state’s fascinating convict past and honour our indigenous heritage.
