Tasmania is Australia’s only island state; the country’s southernmost state and the gateway to Antarctica. Our island is famous for its pure air, clear skies and stunning natural beauty. Tasmania is the perfect mix of land meets sea, with 45% of the island National Park or World Heritage listed. Here, rugged mountain ranges and ancient forests spill onto pristine beaches.

Not only do we have some of the world’s cleanest air and water, we also have more artists and marine scientists per capita than any other state. Tasmania has summer rock concerts, the biggest winter festival in Australia, and a unique art and café scene.

Leading the way for a sustainable future

 

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
