When you’re in one of the world’s most amazing places, you need to get outside, explore and live while you learn. Whatever you’re passionate about, we’ll give you a hands-on education and an unforgettable adventure. In the natural and social sciences, our island will be your living laboratory. In health, you’ll travel the state and apply your learning to real-life scenarios. In engineering and design, you’ll access cutting-edge facilities and technology. Our courses also put you alongside key decision makers in government, industry, and the community.

You’ll help yourself and future generations to create a better tomorrow. You’ll also find yourself at the heart of a creative revolution. Working on real briefs and projects, you’ll connect and collaborate with the acclaimed artists, performers, and creatives that are drawn here.

As a university, we’ve become certified carbon neutral, divested from fossil fuels and joined the Race To Zero – the world’s largest alliance committed to achieving net zero by 2050. But our understanding of sustainability goes beyond the environment alone. We have adopted the UN Sustainable Development Goals and are committed to improving socio-cultural and economic outcomes in Tasmania and beyond. The University has been ranked first in the world on climate action by the 2023 Times Higher Education Impact Rankings, making us the tertiary sector’s official leader in taking climate action.

We see sustainability as an opportunity across everything we do and are passionate about the role you can play as a student. Our Sustainability Integration Program for Students (SIPS) lets you apply your learning to real sustainability challenges. You can get paid for your contribution, or gain course credit. It’s just one way you can get involved, no matter what you study. Learn more at utas.edu.au/study/sustainability
