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.

UTAS – the perfect place to start your future 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 now extends further into the 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 100 different undergraduate degrees. Our campuses throughout Tasmania and in Sydney offer beautiful and convenient locations for an ideal learning experience.

One of my favourite things about uni is that there is no typical day.

My classes start at varying times but I often try to be studious and be at uni around 8.30am when the library in the law faculty opens. When I’m not in classes or having a break with friends I’m normally in the library. I don’t need to leave the building if I don’t want to as there’s even a café in the law faculty building, however if it’s sunny I normally take my textbooks outside and make the most of the sun by studying next to the oval facing the nearby yacht club. On Tuesdays I volunteer with Advocacy Tasmania for a few hours after attending my noon Environmental Law lecture. Other days I balance group study meetings, running robotics workshops, more volunteer work with the Environmental Defender’s Office, a quick game of laser tag or my part-time job in the deli of my local supermarket. I normally relax once I get home until later in the evening when I usually attempt to pull out my textbooks and get something done. I quite often stay at uni studying for a few more hours, then head out to dinner in Salamanca which has nice places to eat. Having fun plans in the evening is great motivation to get my studying done.

“

Going on exchange to Queen’s University Belfast, Northern Ireland, has been the most rewarding experience of my life so far. Academically, the courses I undertook were approved by UTAS before heading abroad so there was no doubt that they would complement and extend upon my studies in Hobart, and it also ensured that I wouldn’t need to complete an extra semester to finish my degree.

Queen’s is an amazing university – as well as being a well-respected institution, the campus is stunning and the facilities are state-of-the-art. Academic staff were really helpful and friendly, and the international support staff were excellent at making all of the 150+ international students feel right at home. My units were taught to a very high standard – the work was challenging and interesting, but sporadic enough to allow me several extended travel periods throughout the semester. Having a study abroad program listed on your CV is a real plus – it shows independence, flexibility, a sense of responsibility and drive. They’re all really important qualities for any employee to have and you’ve proven them all if you can organise an exchange experience. The personal growth you experience is astounding – having to create a new life on the other side of the world is a challenging experience and really allows you to gain a better understanding of yourself and the people around you. I learnt quickly about my boundaries and limitations and to challenge my previously unquestioned sense of self and way of life. I’m really grateful for the opportunity to have taken part in the exchange program and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone considering a semester abroad.

Regular festivals celebrating our cultural diversity are also part of the UTAS yearly calendar. °Not currently available to international students.

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 communities, and I personally really appreciate that the University is taking care of international students.

My life as a pass student Chris Freeman Bachelor of Arts

“

I really wanted to do well, so I went to PASS. One of the benefits of PASS was that if I didn’t understand something, I could ask other students. This was good because they were in the same position as me, having to figure out terms and theories and how they link together, so I could get their perspective as a group. Lecturers and tutors already knew what they were talking about, so it was harder for me to understand when they tried to explain it, if that makes sense. I think this will be helpful for me throughout my degree, because I’ll know to ask other students as well as my lecturers if I’m having trouble grasping something.

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 I 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!

“

My tertiary studies have provided me with a range of marketable skills that have helped my career. More importantly though, I think my tertiary studies have increased my awareness of the possibilities out there. I strongly recommend future students apply for scholarships. The University’s scholarships program is very generous and, having spoken with other students, I think not enough people apply which means some years not all funds are distributed.

“

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.

FOUNDATION STUDIES PROGRAM The Foundation Studies Program (FSP) is available to international students who need to upgrade their academic skills to meet the entry requirements for UTAS undergraduate degrees. Successful completion of this program gives direct entry to all undergraduate degree courses with the exception of Medicine. Please note that entry to all programs is conditional upon final Foundation results, and meeting the minimum GPA required for Pharmacy and Nursing does not guarantee entry due to limited availability of places. This is an excellent opportunity to begin a UTAS degree course after 28 weeks of study. The Program has two intakes annually, starting in March and October each year. Students entering Foundation in March start their degree in Semester 1 (February) of the following year and those entering in October will start their degree in Semester 2 (July) of the following year.

Course Structure Students are placed in a Science and Engineering, Business and Finance or Culture and Communication study stream, based on the undergraduate degree they have chosen. Because they are studying among students with the same interests and career goals, they will have the unique opportunity to establish strong academic and social networks prior to entering their degree.

• Physics • Psychology

Entry Requirements The English language requirement for the Foundation Studies Program is a minimum overall IELTS score of 5.5, with no individual band score less than 5.0, or TOEFL/PTE equivalent.

ReseARcH At UtAs – creating new ideas

and knowledge through innovation Research is an integral part of UTAS, contributing to the University’s identity and sense of purpose. Through the creation of new ideas, innovation and knowledge, research undertaken at UTAS impacts on the future prosperity of society and the environment at a local, national and global level. One of the top 10 research universities in Australia and ranked in the top 3% of universities worldwide (Academic Ranking of World Universities 2012), UTAS has outstanding links with universities, research institutes and industry across the globe. In 2012, UTAS research was ranked world-standard or better in 16 broad fields by the Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA). The ERA’s highest possible rating of 5, reserved for outstanding research, was awarded in nine specific discipline areas: clinical sciences; analytical chemistry; geology; oceanography; ecology; evolutionary biology; plant biology; forestry sciences; agriculture, land and farm management. This disciplinary excellence is representative of a strong research culture across all UTAS Schools, Faculties and Institutes. The University of Tasmania provides international leadership in four thematic areas. In each of the chosen thematic areas, UTAS competes to be in the top 20 internationally in terms of academic and social impact. These thematic strengths lie in: • Creativity and Society; • Health and Wellbeing; • Environment and Sustainability; and • Marine, Maritime and Antarctic. Each theme addresses and contributes to resolving global grand challenges, exploits the unique character of Tasmania, has both intellectual and social impact and contributes to public policy debates nationally and internationally. Within each of the thematic areas UTAS has a set of Institutes and Centres which include the: Australian Maritime College (AMC), Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS), Menzies Research Institute Tasmania, Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture (TIA), Centre for the Environment, ARC Centre of Excellence in Ore Deposits (CODES), Australian Centre for Research on Separation Science (ACROSS), SenseT Centre and the emerging Academy of Creative Industries and Performing Arts.

my life As A UtAs ReseARcH stUdent zHinoUs fAlAkbolAnd

master of Agricultural science

“

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.

”

HigHeR degRees by ReseARcH As a research-led university, UTAS offers graduate research studies at Masters and Doctoral levels through its Higher Degree by Research (HDR) program. HDR candidates undertake focused research under supervision, joining a supportive and vibrant academic community. All postgraduate students are given foundational research training through a Graduate Certificate in Research. The excellence of this training was recently acknowledged with a national teaching quality (TEQSA) commendation. UTAS also achieved a five star rating from the national postgraduate student body (CAPA) for the support provided during research training. UTAS offers generous living stipends including Elite Research Scholarships for outstanding domestic and international candidates. Prospective candidates considering an HDR should have previous undergraduate or postgraduate qualifications including a substantial research component or project.

Courses offered by the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS) are listed on pages 71 and 72.

How to read the course information The information below explains headings used within the course listings:

Duration Length of the course if studied full-time. Most courses at the University of Tasmania are also offered part-time; for information about part-time study in a specific course, go to www.utas.edu.au/courses Note that part-time study is not available to international students in Australia on a student visa.

Location Campus(es) at which the course is available: • Hobart (H) • Launceston (L) • Cradle Coast (Burnie) (CC) • Darlinghurst (Sydney) (V) • Rozelle (Sydney) (R) 30

Some courses are also available by distance education/flexible delivery/ online (D) which is indicated in the details of location. This option is not available to international students studying in Australia on a student visa. Any conditions of study at a particular campus are shown as footnotes. Note that courses offered at the Cradle Coast, Rozelle and Darlinghurst campuses are not available to international students.

Intake The University has two main intakes each year – February (Semester 1 start) and July (Semester 2 start). All degree courses can be commenced in February; many courses also have an intake in July.

Clearly-in/Minimum ATAR The clearly-in ATAR listed for each course entry is indicative of the ATAR score for first-round offers to schoolleaver applicants. For courses where entry is highly competitive (e.g. Medicine, Pharmacy, Health Science/Medical Radiation Science), a minimum ATAR applies and places are allocated according to strict quotas. Where a clearly-in or minimum ATAR score is not listed, entry to the course is on the basis of special requirements, such as an audition or portfolio submission, or completion of another qualification. ATAR scores do not apply to international applicants unless they are currently completing Year 12 in Australia. What is an ATAR? For most courses, selection of Year 12 Applicants will be based on an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR). The ATAR is used in all Australian states except Queensland where the OP is used.

Not a recent School Leaver? If you have not recently left school, or have not completed Years 11 and 12, you may meet another of the University’s General Entry Requirements (GER). Please see pages 24 and 25 for more information about applying to UTAS.

Additional prerequisites Specific Year 11/12 TCE Level 3 subjects (or interstate equivalent) may be required in addition to University of Tasmania General Entry Requirements for entry to some courses. Foundation/bridging units may be taken if students have not completed TCE Level 3 subject prerequisites (see page 21 of this Guide for details). For information about University entrance requirements, refer to pages 24 and 25 of this Guide.

Special requirements Any requirements in addition to normal General Entry Requirements, e.g. UMAT/ ISAT score for Medicine – Surgery, or an audition for performing arts courses.

Areas of study List of subject areas available in the course, or main topics covered during the program.

Further study options Pathways available for further study at a higher level after completion of this degree.

international students International applicants should refer to www.international.utas.edu.au or email Your.Study@utas.edu.au for information on admission requirements specific to studies undertaken in their home country.

In Tasmania, the ATAR was previously known as the Tertiary Entrance Rank (TER). The ATAR is the percentile ranking of your Tertiary Entrance (TE) score. The TE score is calculated by aggregating the scores of your best three pre-tertiary subjects from Year 12 or 13, together with the best score(s) of up to two other pre-tertiary subjects in that year or one other year. The ATAR ranges between zero and 99.95 and details the student’s rank compared with other Year 12 students in their state. For example, in Tasmania an ATAR rating of 80.00 indicates that the student has an overall rating equal to, or better than, 80% of Year 12 school leavers in Tasmania.

Detailed course information Further information about course structures and individual units for all courses listed in this Course Guide is available on the website at: www.utas.edu.au/courses Information on qualifications and accreditations gained on course completion, assessment and teaching methods, equipment and learning facilities is available at: www.utas.edu.au

Doing a combined degree gave me the opportunity to learn about a much broader range of things.

All eight bridges can be made interactive for simulating exercises such as the docking of a cruise liner, which involves the liner’s crew, a port pilot, and multiple tug operators all working together. The simulator database includes a myriad of ship designs and most Australian and New Zealand ports, as well as ports in Malaysia, Indonesia and Europe – accurate to the finest detail. Model Test Basin: With a wavemaker featuring sixteen computer controlled paddles producing a wide variety of wave forms, it is used to conduct studies into port design and operation particularly regarding ship interaction in confined waters. The Model Test Basin has also been used to test innovative wave energy technology and the development of man-made surfing facilities. Cavitation Tunnel: Unique in Australia and one of the few experimental laboratories in the world used to test hydrodynamic behaviour of submerged structures such as submarines. Many of our facilities are used not only for teaching and research but also by maritime industry and allied companies. This means as a student or graduate, you will have greater access to work experience and possible employment opportunities.

my stUdy kiRsteen RobeRts

diploma of nautical science (deck watchkeeper) (now Advanced diploma of Applied science (nautical science)) After doing a marine biology degree, I still hadn’t found my calling. The turning point was when I got a casual job as a linesman on the docks which led to a chance conversation with a female ship cadet who suggested I do Pre-Sea (Year 1) training at AMC. I managed to get a cadetship of my own with Farstad Shipping Indian Pacific, who gave me the required sea-time and sponsored the rest of my training. The lecturers have so much industry experience to share – and the ship simulator facilities are awesome! I love working as a deck officer and I like to think I’m breaking stereotypes and opening up opportunities for the next generation of young women. ^Part-time on-campus study is not available to international students. ∞Distance studies are only available to international students if they are in a country other than Australia.

my stUdy lUcy pUllen

bachelor of contemporary Arts (theatre) As well as acting I am taking courses in tech work, history and theory of contemporary arts, and body work. It’s a three-year course, and when I graduate I will not only have a degree but also three-years’ worth of work experience, which is amazing. I’ve had opportunities in all fields that I could never have been given anywhere else. Thanks to this course I’ve learned how to construct all manner of things, do lighting designs, write a proper script or play proposal, research a character correctly, create publicity and control most of the muscles in my body, which is impressive considering I’m a bit uncoordinated, as well as greatly increasing my skills on stage. †Studies at the UTAS Cradle Coast campus are not currently available to international students. ∞Distance studies are only available to international students if they are in a country other than Australia.

Offers you a broad visual arts education in a wide range of studio disciplines. This course requires a commitment to learning through making, supported by a substantial program in art theory. All practical studio disciplines are informed by rigorous, challenging and ongoing discussion, critical reflection and peer feedback.

“UTAS offered the right courses and subjects for me. The degree was good value and a unique opportunity. I enjoyed being able to meet local artists and designers, who took time to share their experience with us. I find the local art community in Tasmania very unique and special. People here have a strong passion and love for art.” Mey studied at the Tasmanian School of Art in Hobart and in 2006 received her degree of Bachelor of Fine Arts, majoring in Visual Communication. Her decision to “up-skill” worked out well and she is now employed in a permanent role as a graphic designer with the Tasmanian Government Department of Economic Development, Tourism and the Arts. Her work involves branding, marketing, corporate publications, preparing campaign materials and managing many other media. Mey has a few words of advice for other students also wanting to find a great job in their chosen field: “Take part in any opportunity that comes your way. You never know where it might lead.”

Emily won the Skal International Hobart Tourism Student of the Year for 2012, receiving a three-month internship at Skal Tourism Institute in Denmark.

Provides an opportunity for students to combine an advanced achievement in hospitality studies with a focused study of complementary business units.

“I decided to apply for the tourism student award as I feel that winning such a prize would give me a competitive edge when looking for future career opportunities. In addition to this, the prize of heading over to Denmark would be a once in a lifetime experience where I would hope to gain relevant tourism knowledge and have a great time.

Special requirements: Tasmanian Polytechnic/TasTAFE Advanced Diploma in Hospitality Management or equivalent.

The award will give me a huge boost in my career and confidence, in that the experience I could gain by going overseas and being exposed to the international tourism industry first-hand will be invaluable. Additionally, I am a keen traveller so any excuse to jump on a plane seems like a good one to me! I believe my academic record and my interests in geography and environmental studies would have played a role in me becoming a finalist. In my application I mentioned experiences such as being part of the Corporate Internship program, undertaking an internship with Parks and Wildlife, and volunteering as a ‘FOC’ wildlife transporter with Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary.”

bachelor of education I chose UTAS as I knew another student also studying with UTAS and they were very happy. They mentioned how the staff were friendly, very helpful and treated students fairly and with respect providing constructive feedback. Also you are considered as an individual, a person and not a number, and this appealed to me. The camaraderie and support of the students is strong. Teaching staff are very openminded and willing to help or assist when approached or asked.

My career alex hunter Principal, Purnululu Aboriginal Independent Community School Bachelor of Education “I chose UTAS as I was excited about firstly moving away from Hobart (to Launceston). I had also heard that the University of Tasmania had a good reputation of producing great teachers. My career has really ‘shot to the top’ quickly I guess. After a few years teaching in an Upper Primary class I was soon offered the position of Principal. I have no doubt that my time at the University of Tasmania, as well as other activities both in and out of university gave me the edge for the position, and I haven’t looked back. I am a teaching principal in a small remote community school in the East Kimberley region of WA called Purnululu Aboriginal Independent Community School. The school is located in the beautiful community of Frog Hollow (240km south of Kununurra, WA). I have been here for six years and I work alongside a great team who are dedicated to producing happy, healthy and well-educated students.” Fellow UTAS Bachelor of Education graduate Cara Turner works with Alex in literacy education. “I specialise in teaching literacy so this involves teaching early childhood, junior primary and upper primary literacy (from kinder to year seven). I am also a trained Reading Recovery teacher so I work one-on-one with students who are performing below average in literacy and need acceleration. I studied a number of units of Aboriginal Studies through the Riawanna Centre at the Launceston Campus. These units along with my Education subjects sparked my interest in working in a school in an Indigenous community. If it were not for these units or the Riawanna Centre I don’t think I would be working in the community I am in today.” ºThis course is not currently available to international students.

Secondary teaching in other disiplines: Students who wish to become secondary school teachers, but are interested in specialisations that differ from the Bachelor of Education specialisations (health and physical education, outdoor education, health science), typically must first complete an undergraduate degree relevant to two curriculum areas. Once they have graduated, they then undertake the two-year Master of Teaching. For example, a student wishing to teach English and History would enrol in a Bachelor of Arts majoring in English and History; after graduation they would enrol in a Master of Teaching.

My career CHARLES MATTHEW Pathologist, Hobart Pathology Bachelor of Biomedical Science “I currently work in the Biohaem department at Hobart Pathology; my work involves routine haematology, coagulation, biochemistry, transfusion, holiday after hours and on call for urgent hospital work. My studies helped to prepare me for the job I am doing now. Without it, I would not be where I am today. Determination, hard work, discipline and above all believing in yourself is the key to success. I chose UTAS because it was closer to where my family lives and there is good teaching and a caring community around the university. My favourite subjects were Haematology, Transfusion and Medical Laboratory Practice 1. They are hands-on subjects which I quite enjoyed doing. One of my highlights at UTAS was Graduation day and the ceremony. I could not have hoped for a better day. For those with families who are thinking about joining UTAS? Give it a try. You would be surprised with the level of support from the university community. Assistance such as child care and accommodation especially for international students, but not excluding local students, is available. I was once a recipient of such assistance being with my young family when I first joined UTAS.”

Areas of study: An Antarctic Studies major is compulsory for all students in the degree – there is a choice of second major, minor and four student electives.

Marine Science is a rich and diverse discipline, which emphasises an interdisciplinary approach that includes elements of biology, chemistry, physics, geology, oceanography, mathematics and other sciences.

“UTAS is well known for its Marine Science program at IMAS. Together with its associations with CSIRO, UTAS produces some of the highest quality and a great quantity of marine research. Such research encompasses all latitudes, but the university boasts an exciting and unique specialisation in cool temperate, subantarctic and Antarctic research. Its associations with IMAS, CSIRO and many other worthwhile organisations, along with the value of its marine research, convinced me that UTAS was the best option in Australia for Marine Science.

The second major and minor may be selected from: • Chemistry (major or minor) • Geography and Environmental Studies (major or minor) • Geology (major or minor) • Mathematics (minor only) • Plant Science (major or minor) • Zoology (major or minor)

Career opportunities: • Marine and freshwater research • Biological, chemical or physical oceanography • Managing commercial and sport fisheries • Marine ecosystems, climate research and impact assessments • Environmental conservation • Management of marine coastal resources

The course at UTAS has provided me with a wonderful stepping stone in the pursuit of success in my career. Staff contacts that I made through my academic course at UTAS have naturally flowed into making contacts at associated institutions, such as IMAS, CSIRO and Tasmanian marine consultancies. I met and was advised by one of my scientific heroes, volunteered as a scientific diver in over 100 dives, produced an academic paper currently under review, made my first pay check as a casual employee at a marine consultancy and have been lucky enough to accompany many eminent scientists on two Antarctic voyages, one exploring the east Antarctic sea ice and the other focusing on physical and biological oceanographics.”

My career Ben Mee Bachelor of Science/ Bachelor of Laws (Honours) “I chose Science/Law as a mixture of something I knew well from school (Science), and something that I thought would be challenging and enjoyable as a profession (Law). Obviously having a law degree is essential to becoming a lawyer. Having a UTAS law degree has provided a point of difference in job applications to ‘mainland’ employers. I’m regularly told that a large number of firms appreciate the ‘balanced’ perspective with which UTAS graduates approach legal practice. I’m currently working in the Sydney office of Allens, a major commercial law firm. My practice is a mix of competition, intellectual property and commercial litigation work. I’ve also been able to work on a range of pro bono matters for refugee and arts law clients. In 2010–2011 I worked as an associate to Chief Justice French at the High Court. Working in commercial law gives me the opportunity to work on highprofile ‘front page’ matters, and get an insight into how some of Australia’s biggest companies operate. The work is, on the whole, usually challenging and stimulating. Long-term, I’d love to become a judge. In the meantime, it’s a matter of navigating the challenges and politics of the legal profession and keeping my options open.”

school of zoology Tasmania’s position to the south of Australia and the environment being one of a few temperate land masses in the Southern Hemisphere, contributes to the uniqueness of Tasmanian habitats and biota. For this reason, Tasmania is an ideal location to conduct studies relevant to conservation, biology and wildlife management. The School of Zoology has a range of facilities that enhance teaching and research within the department, utilising Tasmania’s proximity to diverse ecosystems. There is a range of animal holding facilities including outdoor enclosures for mammals, birds and lizards and a bush enclosure for roaming macropods; and indoor facilities including the Lizard Rooms and the reverse daylight pens for marsupials. The Molecular Genetics Lab is a joint facility operated in conjunction with the Schools of Agricultural Science and Plant Science. This facility provides a full range of equipment for molecular studies of population structure, phylogeny and gene function. In addition to all the usual molecular equipment the laboratory has a Gel-Scan 2000 for DNA fingerprinting and access to a capillary DNA sequencer, Real-Time PCR machines, microarray reader and dHPLC mutation analyser. The laboratory is one of the most productive research facilities in the University. Research conducted in the School of Zoology addresses many topics relevant to the Conservation and Management of fauna, and a particular focus at present is the impact of landscape management on native fauna, and the epidemiology and ecological impacts of Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD).
