About
History
The story began 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.
Education
When you’re in one of the world’s most amazing places, you need to get outside, explore and live while you learn.
That’s why the courses give you the opportunity to explore nature and access adventure while you study. Field work and hands-on learning will take you all over the incredible island.
Research
As an island with unique advantages and challenges, we’re not afraid to do things differently. It’s our mission to help Tasmania understand its history, identity, environment, and future. The research mission meets the needs of Tasmania and contributes globally in areas of distinctive advantage.

Student Reviews
Small class size, and standard laboratory.
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
My overall experience has been fantastic. It's ok
Pretty good
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
The university is good for science and medical fields but the fine art degrees are lacking in specialties. I do a bachelor of design and most of my knowledge came from my own research and practical skills instead of the degree in itself. The degree was fine just it lacked structure for the real world and that's apparently an issue for other majors as well. <br><i>...
Cultural and Natural environment
Jeff rated 5 out of 5 stars
The University of Tasmania does have its faults as a place to study, yet it is generally a good place to study for its cultural and natural environment. As an UTAS student, you enjoy the foods, drinks, events and libraries, the support. However, UTAS can improve in providing employability programs for its business students like other universities. <br><i> Review provided...
