We also offer 10% scholarships to siblings of previous UTAS students and students who transition from foundation studies to degree or from Undergraduate to postgraduate study.

6. Access to all the benefits of regional living and study
In an increasingly overpopulated, polluted planet clean green Tasmania is fast becoming the ‘coolest destination in Australia.’ The landscape is stunning (40% of the state is national parks), the climate temperate – not too hot or too cold, cities are compact and vibrant and there is no pollution and overcrowding. And students will find a welcoming community and a State government that actively encourages international students, skilled migrants and visitors to Tasmania.
Access is no problem. Students can get to Tasmania from Melbourne (1 hour flying time), Sydney (1.5 hours flying time) or Brisbane (2.5 hours flying time) using one of five budget and full service airlines that service the state.
Whether you are looking for an affordable degree from a highly ranked institution or want to

are many reasons to choose study at the University of Tasmania.
