University of Tasmania

The University of Tasmania is located in Churchill Avenue, Hobart TAS 7005, Australia. It is a public research university that is situated in Tasmania, and it is the fourth-oldest university in the country. The institution's residential college, Christ College, was established in 1846 and it is one of the country's oldest tertiary institutions. The story began in a sandstone building overlooking Hobart 130 years ago. The goal of the university has remained the same since those early days when three lecturers taught eleven students. With connections to 20 specialised research institutes and cooperative research centres, they provide a variety of graduate and undergraduate programmes in a range of disciplines.

The Australian Maritime College, the nation's Centre for maritime education, research, and Training, is part of the university. William Jethro Brown (historian), Alexander McAulay and his son Alexander Leicester McAulay (mathematician and physicist), R.L Dunbabin (classicist), and Edmund Morris Miller  (Polymath and Philosopher) are among the distinguished staff members. They have many campuses such as the Tasmanian Conservatorium of Music and the Medical Sciences Precinct in the south, the Newnham and The Australian Maritime College in the north, the Cradle Coast and Rural Clinical School in the north-west, and their university campus in Sydney is located in Darlinghurst and Rozelle.

The University Of Tasmania has five colleges: the College of Arts, Law, and Education, the College of Health and Medicine, the College of Sciences and Engineering, the Tasmanian School of Business and Economics and the University College. The university holds the role of the secretariat to the International Antarctic Institute which was established in 2006. It was established in association with 19 institutes in 12 countries. The Laboratory Medicine programme (previously known as Biomedical Science) at the University of Tasmania is ideal for students interested in working in specialised medical or pathology laboratories. Students learn in real labs and work on real cases, preparing them to provide vital diagnostic services. 

The university comprises a student population of around 29,000 out of which 33% are international students coming from various nations for pursuing higher education in Australia. Graduates will be industry ready to work as medical scientists after receiving accreditation from the Australian Institute of Medical Scientists (AIMS). The research themes include the environment, resources, and sustainability, as well as data, knowledge, and decisions. 

The Tasmania Scholarships programme also provides scholarships for talented students. There are also other scholarship programmes available, such as the Tasmanian Government-funded Jim Bacon Memorial Scholarship. 

Many notable alumni of the university include Lara Giddings (Labour politician and Tasmania's first female Premier), Eric Abetz (Liberal politician and former Senate leader of the Government), Mary (Crown Princess of Denmark), and Christine Miller (Former Leader of the Australian Greens). They are members of ASAIHL and ACU.
