The University actively seeks out partners who share our vision and passion for world-class teaching and high-impact research outcomes.
The Australian Government’s 2012 Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) exercise confirmed UTAS as one of the nation’s top ten universities. The ERA’s highest possible ranking, reserved for outstanding research, was awarded in nine specific discipline areas at UTAS: clinical sciences; analytical chemistry; geology; oceanography; ecology; evolutionary biology; plant biology; forestry sciences; agriculture; land and farm managements. This disciplinary excellence is representative of the outstanding research culture across all UTAS Faculties, Schools and Institutes and the university’s significant interdisciplinary capability.
UTAS provides international leadership in four thematic areas:
