2 WELCOME Studying abroad offers a wonderful opportunity for you to become a global citizen while gaining an intimate knowledge of a country, its culture, and people that you cannot gain online or through books. The University of Tasmania provides a unique and fascinating study destination. In addition to a world-class education and vibrant student lifestyle, we are also fortunate to be located in one of the world’s truly spectacular natural environments. Many courses give you the opportunity to take your studies beyond the traditional classroom and into Tasmania’s great outdoors – on field trips, through work placements, and through our sustainability program. All these opportunities will provide you with real-world experiences and the chance to engage with the friendly local community – and an unforgettable Australian experience. We look forward to welcoming you into our vibrant Tasmanian student community very soon. Professor Rufus Black Vice-Chancellor

3 TASMANIA: THE PERFECT DESTINATION Tasmania is Australia’s only island state and its most southern island state. It is famous for its pure air, clear skies, and stunning natural beauty.

Our State has many species found nowhere else on Earth and more than 40 per cent of the State is protected in national parks and reserves, including World Heritage-listed wilderness. Tasmania is roughly the size of Ireland or Sri Lanka, with a population of just over half a million people. It is separated from mainland Australia by the Bass Strait and is only a one-hour flight from Melbourne. You will love living and learning in our beautiful State.
