Engineering is involved in almost every aspect of daily life, from access to clean water to the development of cutting edge biometric devices. At the University of Tasmania, we are conducting research and producing engineering graduates to take on the world’s greatest challenges, and build a better world for everyone.
Studying engineering gives you the most direct opportunity to shape the future, provide higher standards of living around the world, and protect the environment. Renewable energy, safe and efficient transport, sustainable cities and workplaces, and management of the environment are all the responsibility of engineers. Our qualifications are recognised around the world, allowing you to discover a passion, and let it take you anywhere you want to go.
