When it comes to preparing for your future career, there is no place quite like Tasmania. Students won't just get hands-on learning and a great lifestyle; they'll also immerse themselves in one of the world's most spectacular natural environments.

Framed by vibrant cities, beaches, snowfields and wilderness, Tasmania is a place where students can hear themselves think, and learn beyond the classroom. The whole island serves as students' campus.

Many of the university's courses let students take their studies into Tasmania's great outdoors – on field trips, through work placements, and through a sustainability program. These real-world experiences make students more employable, while also giving them the chance to engage with a welcoming community. Plus, students will have a distinctive and unforgettable Australian experience.

Students can choose from an excellent selection of undergraduate and postgraduate courses. All are highly rated, although in particular the university is recognized for its quality of teaching in agricultural science, nursing, oceanography and law.

International students are warmly welcomed, with each campus providing a vibrant and diverse culture. Tasmania is an island of creative and curious minds. No matter where students join from, they'll become part of a welcoming, collaborative community.

There are many dedicated support services to help students relocate and learn at the University of Tasmania, including specific international scholarships.

Students who choose to enrol at the University of Tasmania are ensured of a high-quality experience. This is reinforced by the excellent graduate success ratings, with 94 per cent of students finding full-time work within three years of completing their studies.

The university doesn't rely on these figures though and has instigated a Quality Matters program to ensure that all courses meet the expected standards of education. This helps course leaders to prepare effective, professional units of study that give students the most valuable information in an effective way.

Students will learn from experts in their field who have undergone extensive training both within the area of study and in how to present and deliver their knowledge to students. There is also access to extensive support services should students need extra academic help, or if they need to raise a concern about their course quality.

The university offers a wide choice of generalist and specialist degrees at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Options of double degrees, degrees by coursework or research, internships, studying abroad and exchange, and a breadth of subjects give students the flexibility to customize their study experience to their individual needs.

The university also offers English and foundation studies programmes. These help students who have not met the English or academic entry requirements to gain the necessary skills to progress onto a programme of study with the institution.

There are four colleges, which cover the major disciplines:

• College of Arts, Law and Education
• College of Health and Medicine
• College of Sciences and Engineering
• Tasmanian School of Business and Economics

The colleges house a number of research centres and schools. The university is also home to four global-leading institutes that teach niche programmes and conduct cutting-edge research:

• Australian Maritime College (AMC)
• Institute for Marine & Antarctic Studies (IMAS)
• Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture
• Menzies Institute for Medical Research.

Students wishing to study with the University of Tasmania must meet the minimum English language and academic entry requirements. Some courses will have higher requirements for either English language or for previous academic qualifications, and some may require a portfolio of previous work or an interview.

Standard academic requirements

Admission to the university's undergraduate courses requires completion of qualifications equivalent to Year 12 in Australia. Some courses also require the completion of prerequisite subjects. Students who do not meet these requirements may enrol in the Foundations Studies Program.

Entry into a postgraduate course requires the equivalent of a bachelor's degree with the required grades. Work experience may be required or used for alternative entry for some undergraduate and postgraduate courses.

Across the University of Tasmania's campuses, students will benefit from contemporary facilities with every resource needed to give them success. From modern learning spaces for lectures and workshops to dedicated labs and extensive library resources, students will be given every advantage on their path to success.

The Hobart campus includes the new Hedberg building, a wonderful learning space for music and creative arts students. Students at Sydney will benefit from excellent links with local medical facilities as they complete their nursing studies.

The university also offers contemporary on-campus accommodation including communal living colleges and self-contained apartments. Most are within a short walk of the key campus and living facilities, although some are slightly further away for people who want a more tranquil location away from the city.

All apartments and colleges are clean, comfortable and safe, with the university's security team available if students require any assistance.

The university has recently announced a new range of scholarships for international students commencing their studies in 2022.

These scholarships are designed to help support students – both onshore and offshore – with the costs of student living, giving students the best platform for success as they focus on their studies and not on the worries of affording the university costs.

Scholarships are available to those who need financial aid or those who seek recognition for their academic excellence and achievements. Students can also apply for funding to help with relocation or the costs of learning English.

International students are able to apply for their course and any relevant scholarships at the same time.

Students can learn more about the range of scholarships offered by the university, and details on how to apply along with any relevant deadlines, on the website.

The university continually invests in new resources and developments in order to give students the best platform to succeed. As such, students can expect ongoing improvements to the facilities offered while they are studying in Tasmania.

A new multi-million-dollar campus transformation project has now begun, which will create attractive and distinctive new southern and northern campuses. These will have brand new buildings, facilities and infrastructure all tailored towards the future of education, guaranteeing students a wonderful place to live and learn.

The university continues to undertake a range of research projects that will improve the lives of both the local and international community. Almost 97 per cent of university research is rated at above world standards, with AUD 114 million of research income generated in 2020 and 400 research partners across a range of industries.
