UTAS – the perfect place to further your potential The University of Tasmania (UTAS) was established in 1890, making it the fourth-oldest university in Australia – a true ‘sandstone’ university. As the State’s only university, UTAS has always held a special place in the Tasmanian community and while today the University continues to play an important role in Tasmania, our influence also extends further into national and international spheres. In 2012 UTAS was named in the Top 10 Australian Universities (Academic Ranking of World Universities 2012) and it consistently rates highly for student-to-teacher ratios, internationalisation and research. High-quality research is coupled with world-class teaching in more than 170 different postgraduate degrees. Our campuses throughout Tasmania and in Sydney offer beautiful and convenient locations for an ideal learning experience.

“
I chose UTAS because it is one of the best universities for agricultural research in Australia and I knew of the research being done into the physiology of stress tolerance in plants. This research is important as it may help solve future world food shortages by determining which plants are more tolerant to conditions such as salinity, waterlogging or their combination. My supervisor is very responsive and supportive, the facilities are excellent and I work with friendly people in a beautiful environment, so I would certainly recommend UTAS to other students considering a research degree.
”

“
I live on campus and usually wake up around 8am and by 9am I’m all set to start the day. My timetable is spread out over the week which makes it very convenient to manage studies with other activities. I choose the subjects per semester in a way that I just have lectures and tutorials for one subject each day for four days in a week. This helps me to focus more and I’m done with one subject in a day for the week. I often work with other students to do our assignments at the Peppers Café at the University Accommodation – but I prefer going to the Morris Miller Library during exams because it helps me psychologically get in “study mode”. I have a part-time job 20 hours per week, but during exams I take leave as studies are my first priority. In my spare time, I regularly volunteer for Landcare and Bushcare and am a member of the Community Friends and Networks Programme (CFNP). I find UTAS to be very inclusive of international and local students and there are always lots of activities to keep entertained. Tasmania is a beautiful place. I like going to the Salamanca Market on Saturdays to buy fresh vegetables – an experience of entertainment in a row of sandstone buildings, how amazing can grocery shopping be?

My life as an international student Joohyung OH
Bachelor of Nursing
“
As an international student studying in Australia, I think that studying overseas is not only about gaining academic knowledge at school, but also about new social and life experiences which would not have been encountered in the student’s home country. Considering that social experience cannot be gained by just reading books, international students are encouraged to go out and meet local people. CFNP has broadened my cultural awareness about Australia, and makes me more interested in Australia. It was one of the easiest and most comfortable ways of taking a step into local community, and I personally really appreciate that the University is taking care of international students.

my life in stUdent AccommodAtion ARtHUR Hebin HUAng
master of professional Accounting (information systems)
“
I am living on the Hobart campus at Christ College while studying a Master of Professional Accounting specialising in Information Systems. I am also a UTAS Student Ambassador and a UTAS Orientation Volunteer. Living on-campus is very convenient for me – it is only a five minute walk to the Commerce Building and a bit longer to the School of Computing and Information Systems. There is also the shuttle bus which runs regularly. I have lived at Christ College for three semesters and thoroughly enjoy the opportunity to meet a wide range of local and international people. The other aspect that appeals is that the College is like home, with staff and other students like extended family. And finally, because I am not the best cook, I also love the restaurant as it means that I never starve!

The ELC offers various language courses for international students seeking to improve their English communication skills for future academic studies in Australia, work and social use. Students can use all university facilities including 24-hour computer labs and library. The UTAS English Language Centre is also an official IELTS Testing Centre. www.utas.edu.au/english-language-centre
English Language Programs Pathway English Pathway English is a multi-level program providing 20 hours per week of intensive English language tuition for pre-intermediate to advanced learners. Each level comprises a five-week module and progress to successive levels is based on achievement. The course is designed so that the early levels build and consolidate language skills. As students progress there is greater emphasis on developing academic language skills. These skills assist students to develop levels of English language proficiency required to meet entry scores for Direct Entry Academic Programs (DEAP) of which successful completion provides entry to UTAS degree courses. The language skills students learn can also assist with work and career opportunities. At the end of every module, students complete assessments in all skill areas, with specified overall and individual skill scores required for satisfactory progression. All class levels include practice in the following areas: • listening • speaking • reading • writing • pronunciation • vocabulary • grammar knowledge and usage Pathway English enables students to develop the English language skills necessary to achieve test scores required to enter Direct Entry Academic Programs, the Foundation Studies Program, diplomas and advanced diplomas, and undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. www.utas.edu.au/english-language-centre
My life as an international student Tanarii Akarapongangkul
English Language Centre and Master of International Business student
“
I studied a 10-week Direct Entry Academic Program (DEAP) at the English Language Centre before starting my Master of International Business. There were 15 students in my class from countries such as China, Columbia, Japan, Taiwan, Libya and others from my home country, Thailand. DEAP gave me a lot of practice at English skills important for a real university course such as essay research, short note taking and reading. I improved my speaking, listening and writing skills that I use in lectures and tutorials. DEAP also helped make it easier to research and scan books for my assignments. The teachers are hardworking and high quality and I made nice friends. UTAS was my choice because it has a one-year master degree, scholarships and a cheap living cost. I love Tasmania’s natural environment, travelling, BBQs, camping and bush walking!

ENGLISH Language Centre Intensive Test Preparation (IELTS)* Intensive Test Preparation enables students to develop test-taking strategies for the IELTS and other language proficiency tests such as TOEFL. This course includes: • diagnosing existing strengths and weaknesses • identifying individual high-value strategies for success • developing specific listening, speaking, reading and writing skills • improving confidence by developing a direct, natural approach to test-taking • developing independent learning and techniques for self-correction
Direct Entry Academic Program (DEAP)
• encouraging critical and analytical thinking
Designed for international students intending to enter an undergraduate or postgraduate degree at the University of Tasmania, DEAP provides an alternative pathway for satisfying the language requirements for degree entry. To be eligible for enrolment in a DEAP course students must have already met the academic entry requirements of, and have an Offer of Enrolment for, their intended course of study.
With a focus on teaching strategies required for success, students are encouraged to develop a range of skills designed to build confidence and maximise scores. The course is supported by a range of print and digital resources and is underpinned by a teaching methodology that combines classroom teaching with interactive web-based independent learning activities.
The DEAP program provides excellent language, research, and study skills in preparation for undergraduate and postgraduate study and goes well beyond preparing students for the IELTS test. Students are encouraged to develop responsibility for learning and work collaboratively on academic assignments. These assignments include longer academic essays and reports involving research, referencing and oral presentations. Tests emphasise real tertiary tasks such as lecture note-taking and summarising, text summarising and paraphrasing. Students must successfully meet the assessment criteria for the assessable tasks and have satisfactory attendance to pass this course. On successful completion of the DEAP, students can enter their university course directly with no further IELTS testing being required.# Students must submit the required IELTS, TOEFL or PTE documentation before being accepted into the DEAP course. The 10- and 15-week DEAP course is available on both the Hobart and Launceston campus. The 20-week DEAP course is only available on the Hobart campus.
Various study options are available based on a minimum number of enrolments for those students who might need to develop all or some particular skill areas. www.international.utas.edu.au/english-language-centre This course is available to current students of the UTAS English Language Centre who have intermediate level English. Residents of Tasmania who have an equivalent level of English may also apply.
IELTS testing The University of Tasmania is the only IELTS test centre in Tasmania.

My distance learning Claire Dalzell
Master of Teaching (Drama and English)
“
As I have a young family and live in rural South Australia it would be impossible for me to study on campus. Online learning has allowed me to fulfill my study dreams without having to uproot my family. I’ve surprised myself with how well I’m doing. I never thought I could achieve so well with online learning so I’m very proud of my marks so far. My experiences of studying through UTAS have been so positive and studying online has proved to be a successful way to learn.

APPLICATION and admission for Australian students WHO CAN APPLY FOR ADMISSION? Postgraduate study is a way to attain university qualifications at a higher level than undergraduate and can be entered through a number of different pathways. The common entry points into postgraduate coursework are as follows: â&#x20AC;˘ Those with an undergraduate degree in a specific discipline, who want to continue to study in the same discipline, but at a higher level. Students who fall into this category use their undergraduate studies to articulate into postgraduate coursework. In this instance students have the opportunity to move directly from their undergraduate studies to postgraduate studies, or minimal work experience may be required prior to commencing postgraduate study. Examples of entering postgraduate study this way include nursing and education. â&#x20AC;˘ Those with an undergraduate degree in a particular discipline, but wish to move their career in a different direction by gaining new skills and knowledge at a postgraduate level. Many postgraduate coursework programs have entry criteria that requires the successful completion of an undergraduate degree, but previous studies do not have to be in the same discipline. For example, Master of Business is a popular postgraduate qualification that assumes no prior discipline knowledge, allowing students who are interested to apply the skills learnt to a new or existing career. Another pathway into postgraduate study allows for students without an undergraduate degree to use their relevant work experience to commence postgraduate coursework study. The minimum amount of work experience required is approximately five years, but please enquire about your specific course for further details. An example of this pathway is through some of the Business programs (MBA, Marketing, International Business etc). Students can commence a graduate certificate, and then articulate to a graduate diploma, then master on the basis of relevant work experience.

HonoURs Study at honours level is offered to students who have achieved a credit average or higher in their bachelor degree. Some disciplines prescribe additional units and a standard in the major higher than the minimum GPA for entry to their honours program. Honours following a three-year bachelor degree requires an additional year of full-time study. Where the bachelor degree is four or more years of full-time equivalent study honours may be integrated into the final year. Most UTAS honours degrees are offered oncampus only (with the exception of some Education honours degrees) and most may be studied part-time^ or full-time. Honours consists of a research project, and additional coursework units or a defined higher level of expectation for regular final year units. Assessment of the research project is normally based on a piece of written work – a thesis on the methodology and results of research undertaken; or an exegesis accompanied by an exhibition, performance or composition. The coursework component may be assessed by examination and/or written assignments.

Graduate Certificate in Maritime Engineering (Technology Management)
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am a Naval Architect at Defence Materiel Organisation (DMO) and am currently working on the SEA1000 Future Submarine Project. My work focuses on tasks associated with submarine design for SEA1000, and sustainment activities that support Collins Class submarines and Submarine Escape and Rescue. I undertake a range of Naval Architecture-specific tasks, as well as project assessment activities, safety and habitability tasks, and even materiels selection.
Duration:
I had previously gained my Bachelor of Engineering (Naval Architecture) at the Australian Maritime College (AMC) and chose to study for a Master of Maritime Engineering as I wanted to further my skills beyond my bachelor degree. The course has subjects like simulation and modelling and marine propulsion systems, which will improve my skills in ways that directly support my future aims at DMO.
Graduate Diploma of Maritime Engineering (Technology Management)
Studying via distance allows me to continue work and fits in with my business travel and home commitments. I am also able to directly apply the skills I learn to my job on a daily basis. The assignments and examples use real scenarios/systems that are in the maritime environment rather then general examples on land or air. This makes it easier to see their use in the maritime environment and replicate it at work.
Academic entry requirements: Recognised bachelor degree in engineering.
The Master of Maritime Engineering helps me achieve my CPD hours for continuing chartered status and will improve my ability to take on greater responsibility and later apply for a promotion. I would recommend this course to anyone working within the maritime sector, as well as those that wish to transfer to the sector.

My career Mark Mewis Commander, Human Resources, Department of Police and Emergency Management Master of Police Studies “Postgraduate studies undoubtedly assisted me in building the skills required to develop policy and research papers, and the accompanying qualifications would have contributed to my advancement within Tasmania Police. I found an opportunity to open my mind to explore broader concepts within society that I probably would not have otherwise sought. I have encouraged others within the workplace to undertake postgraduate study, and my current role directly involves the professional development of employees, including providing opportunities for them to engage in tertiary education. The relationship between DPEM and UTAS not only allowed me to pursue an academic goal, but provided support and encouragement on both sides during that pursuit. My supervisors and mentors at UTAS completely understood the pressures and complexities of studying for a postgraduate degree whilst engaged in full-time employment, and provided guidance and support.”

My career Donna Bergshoeff Art Teacher, Glenora District High School Master of Teaching "My original degree is a Bachelor of Fine Art specialising in multimedia and photography. I came to Australia seven years ago from Canada and actually taught at a uni level. I taught in Melbourne and Sydney and moved down to Tassie and started my masters. I fell in love with Tassie when I first got here. I love the bushwalking and the size of it and the pace of it; it’s just perfect for me. I always wanted to do a master that was always in the long-term plan, but that long-term plan just kept getting longer and longer and longer. But moving down here, it all of a sudden became a lot more feasible. I guess you could say, it was a lot easier to transition back into school, because it was much more supportive and a much more supportive environment as well. If I was up in Melbourne or Sydney still, I doubt I’d be walking the same path. I was lucky enough to get a scholarship in my second year, which is between the Department of Education and the University. I transitioned out of second year and into a permanent position, which is amazing, because it just gives you that extra peace of mind. It’s all mapped out for me. I’ve been thinking about doing a PhD eventually. Things have sparked my interest – areas like literacy and working with ELA students in the art field. So I don’t think it’s the last that UTAS is going to see of me!"

Cathryn Collins Registered Nurse Royal Hobart Hospital – specialising in paediatric nursing and Child and Family Health Nurse in Brighton Community Graduate Diploma of Nursing (Child and Family Health) “My initial qualification achieved was a Bachelor of Nursing completed in 2003 at UTAS, Launceston campus. This was a face-to-face course and provided the foundation for my nursing careers. In 2008 I completed a Graduate Certificate in Nursing, specialising in Paediatrics. Most recently I completed my Graduate Diploma, specialising in Child and Family Health, in 2011. This was an online course delivered by UTAS. Initially I found studying online challenging, but with support, and time to get to know the technology and programs, I found online studying versatile. I was able to continue working my full hours and study when I wanted to study in an environment which would enhance my ability to learn. I also made new friends and felt well supported. Without completing postgraduate studies I wouldn’t be competitive as an employee. I’m able to work in a specialised field in which I get enjoyment and satisfaction. I believe undertaking further studies was worth the effort. I have greater confidence and respect in the workplace and community, and the ability to apply knowledge and understanding into my field of work. I’m able to critically analyse, research and apply myself to my fullest potential.

My career Nick Alexander Master of Marine and Antarctic Science Naturalist, Heron Island As part of Nick’s Master degree, he was invited to join a group of scientists in a voyage to Antarctica. This was the highlight of his degree. “I was very excited to get to Antarctica; it was always my dream to go there. I was part of a team of scientists down there collecting marine invertebrates to bring back to the Australian Antarctic Division to stock up the aquarium there. There were eight of us there; two were supervisors – one from the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies and one from the Antarctic Division. We did develop quite a close relationship and it’s not a student/supervisor relationship, it’s more of a friendship. I’d like to go back definitely; I’d love to go back as many times as I can. It’s broadened my horizons a lot.” Nick is now using the skills he learnt through his degree in an altogether different marine environment at the Great Barrier Reef. “It’s a fair bit different up here to Antarctica, but the experience I had in Antarctica definitely helped me get this job. Living and working in an isolated environment in Antarctica definitely made me well suited to this job at Heron Island.”

My career Anton Hughes Solicitor, Legal Aid NSW Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice “After completing my law degree, I started a PhD straight away. As I got to the end of the PhD, I decided that I wanted to work as a lawyer. To do that I needed to complete a Practical Legal Skills course before I could be admitted. I chose UTAS because I lived in Hobart, and my intention was to practice law in Tasmania. Local practitioners, including judges and magistrates, are highly involved in the teaching program, which gives the UTAS Graduate Diploma an unbeatable advantage. Apart from being a prerequisite to admission to the profession, the practical skills I learned are put to use regularly in my daily work. The highlight of the course came at the end of a Magistrates court exercise, where I nailed a bail application, and realised that court work was something I could really imagine myself doing more of in the future. I work as a solicitor at Legal Aid NSW in Sydney, in the Indictable Appeals Unit. I look after clients wishing to appeal their conviction or sentence in serious crime matters. My job involves reviewing transcripts and evidence looking for possible errors of law; briefing barristers; and preparing for and hearings at the Court of Criminal Appeal of NSW.”

My career Brennan Chan Architect, RSP Architects, Planners and Engineers Bachelor of Environmental Design, and Master of Architecture (previously called Bachelor of Architecture) â&#x20AC;&#x153;I live in Singapore and work for RSP Architects Planners and Engineers. Most of the architecture Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been involved with in my career is in Singapore, mainly institutional buildings for higher education. All the buildings are my favourites because they have been developed from concept through to construction. I am particularly interested in the simplicity of the Dutch master architects OMA and BIG. They have time and time again proven to me that architecture does not have to be extravagant to impress. I am (still) inspired by the Pyramids of the Giza since I was introduced to their architecture in my first year and how they were built with the engineering and technology techniques of that time is still a mystery.
Academic entry requirements: A Bachelor of Environmental Design or equivalent three-year undergraduate degree. Entry is subject to performance in the final year of the first degree.
I believe the UTAS architecture course provided me with numerous skill sets to excel in different aspects of architecture in the Singapore context.
Other entry requirements: Submission of a portfolio of work. Applicants may be required to attend an interview.
Through my architecture I hope to leave behind a legacy of completed works that becomes an inspiration for future generations.â&#x20AC;?
Not only did it sufficiently prepare me academically but it has also developed my character and individual persona into an well-rounded package. I also made friends with whom I shared the joy and pain of studying architecture!

Tasmania, the island state of Australia, lies 40 degrees south of the equator. An archipelago of 334 islands in the temperate zone of the southern hemisphere, it is a land of dramatic coastlines, rugged mountains, spectacular wilderness and sparkling highland lakes. Tasmanians breathe some of the world’s cleanest air and drink the purest water. Unpolluted coastal seas and rich, fertile soils enable them to produce the finest foods.
