About

History

Our 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

As a university, we’re dedicated to providing every student with a hands-on education and an unforgettable adventure. From our vibrant cities to the stillness of our World Heritage-listed wilderness, our island is a place of contrasts – and we embrace its character in everything we do.

Our courses offer real-life learning and close industry connections.

In the natural and social sciences, our whole island is your campus. And in the arts, our students find themselves at the heart of a creative revolution.We also never forget our fascinating history, and always honour our indigenous heritage.

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. Our research mission meets the needs of Tasmania and contributes globally in areas of distinctive advantage.
  • Our research brings together the brightest minds to address the issues of today and tomorrow. We’re ranked in the top 10 Australian universities based on research income, and we are a recognised leader in industry-driven collaborative research.
