As a university, we are committed to helping your school and community strengthen a love of learning by connecting you to inspirational activities, resources, people, and ideas.
School level
Working to support the youngest minds in Tasmania is one of the most important roles we can do. To help you connect and grow those minds we offer a few specialised programs for primary aged students.
- If you’re looking for activities that will enrich your students or help you gain new expertise, check out our school engagement web portal for primary schools.
- The Children's University Tasmania collaborates with schools and the community to inspire children and young people aged 7-14, fostering their confidence and nurturing curiosity through a wide range of informal learning opportunities.
- The Young Tassie Scientist program brings scientists into classrooms around Tasmania during National Science Week.
Engaging with the University of Tasmania while still in school helps students build confidence, broaden their horizons, and start thinking about life beyond Year 12. Through hands-on experiences, real-world learning, and tailored programs students can explore future study options, connect with inspiring mentors, and discover pathways that match their interests.

- The University Connections program is an opportunity for year 11 and 12 students to undertake introductory university units specifically designed for senior secondary students.
- The High Achiever program is a unique educational experience for high-achieving Tasmanian senior secondary students to study at university as part of their Tasmanian Certificate of Education.
- Year 10-uni, your students don’t have to wait until they finish high school to start planning their university adventure. From year 10 onwards they can take advantage of opportunities to connect with us.
- The Parent and carers page is all the information parents and carers need to help their teen find their path to university.
Senior secondary students have a limited window to take advantage of university programs designed to support their next steps. Helping to access enrichment programs at the university, the early offer program or supporting them with their journey to move away from home are some of the ways your students can be enabled to make informed decisions about their future pathways and feel confident transitioning into tertiary education.

- Schools Recommendation Program: Supporting your students through our early offer entry program requires resources and access to systems. To guide you through all the processes, we have designed a suite of resources on this page to help you get started. Our team are here to further support you. Book in at a time that suits you.
- Have you got a student moving away from home to attend university? We have built a dedicated space where you can guide your students through all of the steps they need to consider when making the leap into their next adventure.
Supporting your students through early offers with us
The Schools Recommendation Program allows Year 12 students to secure an early offer for free for up to five courses, giving them peace of mind as they complete their final year. With options including double degrees, undergraduate programs, and flexible pathways, students can plan ahead and concentrate on achieving their best results Please note that some competitive courses, such as Medicine and Paramedicine, are not part of early offers. However, students can still include these in their application for assessment after ATAR results are released.
Resources are available in the Schools resource hub.
Your encouragement and guidance play a vital role in helping students navigate these opportunities and succeed in their transition to university.
Schools resource hub
Designed especially for careers advisers and school staff, our Schools resource hub is designed to support schools in guiding students through key education and career decisions. It brings together course information, promotional materials and shareable content in one convenient location.
All resources are digital, downloadable and login‑free, making them easy to access and share across your school.
