About SIPS
SIPS (previously known as AOSIP) is an award winning program linking operational sustainability outcomes with student education and experience.
The Sustainability Integration Program for Students (SIPS) has two key aims:
- To provide meaningful opportunities for students to apply their learning to real world sustainability challenges (and to be paid or gain course credit while doing so)
- To assist the University of Tasmania to have a positive environmental impact on the world and to be a leader in sustainable campus management
Get Involved
Students can get involved in lots of different ways:
- Teacher directed in-class activities
- Student directed in-class assignments
- Research projects
- Placements: SIPS Internship; TSBE Corporate Internship; I-Prep Placement; Environment Governance Placement

Student work with SIPS can also contribute towards the Vice-Chancellor's Leadership Program (VCLP).

Staff interest and involvement is essential. If you would like to encourage your students to participate, the SIPS Coordinator is available to speak to your class or to provide resources for students to access in MyLO.
Whether you are staff, student or a community member, we welcome your project ideas. Our goal is to integrate sustainability across all areas of the University, therefore we invite projects from all disciplines and departments.
