University Overview
The notion of partnership characterises the way University of Tasmania operates. The Utas primary partnership is between staff and students who work together in the areas of core business for the University: achieving excellence in teaching and learning and research. UTas offers one of the widest range of courses in Australia yet is small enough to provide an environment where each student can enter into a partnership with staff to achieve their goals. The University has adopted a strategy of preserving and developing teaching and learning and research of national and international significance in areas that take advantage of the University's location in the State of Tasmania.
Utas works with universities around the world to offer students an international experience as part of their study - UTas has exchange arrangements with over 60 countries throughout Europe, Asia and North America. Utas also works with researchers in many countries on issues that have international significance. A tiny sample of some of the work that UTas researchers and post-graduate students are involved in include global warming (with NASA), tourism in China, aquaculture in Vietnam, forestry in Indonesia, computing in Korea, cardio-vascular disease with the World Health Organisation and mineral resources projects in 17 countries.
