Affectionately referred to as Tassie, and known as lutruwita in palawa kani (the language of Tasmanian Aboriginal people), Tasmania is Australia’s southernmost and only island state. 

If you choose to study at the University of Tasmania, not only is our whole island your campus, but it will also be your playground in your free time. Because let’s face it, there’s more to life than just studying.

Tasmania is world-renowned for its incredible landscape and natural places. Around 40 percent of Tasmania’s land area is protected in National Parks and reserves, covering a remarkable diversity of varying ecosystems and habitats. Most are within easy distance of the major cities, and many are included in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, recognized globally for their unique value.

Culturally speaking, Tasmania is buzzing with activity. Between our iconic galleries and museums, unique festivals, and vibrant live music scene, we really are the state of the arts.

Tasmania’s fresh produce is legendary. Cool-climate wines, award-winning international whiskies, world-famous cheeses, abundant seafood, all kinds of berries and fruit, and a beef farm in the purest corner of the entire country.
