University of Tasmania was founded in 1890 and takes pride in our distinct Tasmanian specialisations, which link our collective research endeavour to addressing local concerns. Our research reflects our unique Tasmanian capabilities and draws together individual and multi-disciplinary expertise to develop solutions to real-world problems of global relevance, within a local context.

Tasmania is special, and the Tasmanians are so. We strongly believe in our country. We welcome such odd issues. Through our vibrant cities to the quietness of our forests identified as World Heritage, our beautiful island is a place of contrasts–and we celebrate its character in everything we do. In an unique place, we deliver excellent courses and our teaching is backed by world-leading science, so you know that you have direct access to the best expertise.

University know that if you’re in one of the world’s most extraordinary locations, you have to get outside, explore and live while you learn. That’s why our courses give you the opportunity to explore nature and access adventure while you study, through field work and hands-on learning experiences that take you underwater, overseas and across our incredible island. No matter which University of Tasmania campus you choose to study at, you will be close to stunning wilderness, and part of a vibrant and supportive community.

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.
