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, they have made the pursuit of the extraordinary a never-ending commitment.
It influences everything they do. The way they teach. The way they research. The way they learn. And the way they live.
University of Tasmania is one of the world’s most spectacular natural environments. Framed by beaches, snowfields and wilderness, from their stunning island home in Tasmania they are free to think on a bigger scale. Whether it’s in their teaching, research, or even student lifestyle, this unique landscape has prepared us to connect to the world. They are also fortunate to be right in Tasmania’s vibrant cultural heart. From their MONA inspired arts boom to their established food, wine and coffee culture, Tasmania’s towns and cities are as cosmopolitan as anywhere in Australia. Friendly, vibrant and always changing, Tasmania’s as good a place to live, as it is to learn.
Their ranking in the top two per cent of universities worldwide reflects their willingness to constantly challenge themselves. They have never been afraid to take on the world – something they pass on to each of their more than 29,000 local, national and international students. Throughout their careers, this underpins the success of the 90,000 alumni they have spread across more than 120 countries.
Internationally recognised teaching programs and research institutes like the Australian Maritime College (AMC), Menzies Institute and Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies have built their reputation. With their vision and success, they are standing out as an educational beacon and a global voice of learning.
Their commitment to the extraordinary tells the world one thing. Wherever you’re from – and wherever you’re headed – at the University of Tasmania you have the opportunity to use education to become whoever or whatever you want.
