A quiet pursuit of the extraordinary. Our story began over 130 years ago, in a sandstone building overlooking
Hobart. Since those early days, with three lecturers teaching eleven students, our purpose has remained the same. Through academic excellence, we make our home, and the world, a better place.
 
Here, success takes a certain determination and imagination. With our isolated location and small population, we have always had to work differently. It’s what makes Tasmanians such creative thinkers and problem solvers. And it has seen us generate powerful ideas both for and from our island.

Whether students are just starting out or ready to take the next step in their pursuit of knowledge, there is no place quite like Tasmania. The university, with its long history of welcoming international students, understands
the important role they will play in shaping both the university and the broader community upon joining in Tasmania.


Upon arriving in Tasmania, students are immersed in one of the world’s most spectacular natural environments. Framed by vibrant cities, beaches, snowfields, and forests, Tasmania is a place where people hear themselves think and learn beyond the classroom. The whole island is our campus, with many courses allowing students to take their studies into Tasmania’s great outdoors — on field trips, through work placements, and through the leading sustainability program. These real-world experiences make students more employable while also giving them the chance to engage with the welcoming community and leverage industry connections.


Our students have a distinctive and unforgettable Australian experience. The university is ranked in the Top 293* universities in the world and 20th in Australia, offering a wide range of courses and a mission to provide world-
class teaching and research to all studying with us.
