To assist with the transition into a new life studying abroad, UTAS provides a high level of academic and personal support to international students including international student advisors and academic skills tutorials to assist with developing communication, mathematical and English language skills.

UTAS also boasts generous scholarships and bursaries specifically for eligible international students undertaking study with the Faculty of Health. These include a relocation bursaryfor all international students undertaking the Bachelor of Biomedical Science, Bachelor of Health Science, and Bachelor of Pharmacy in Semester 1, 2017,as well as the renowned Tasmanian International Scholarship, which offers a 25% reduction in tuition fees for the duration of the course for students who meet these academic standards.

The University’s scholarships, combined with its affordable tuition fees, make it an attractive choice for those seeking to study abroad. As one of the most affordable Australian cities to live in, the value that UTAS presents through its state-of-the-art facilities and research excellence are both exciting and rewarding.

Another unique advantage at UTAS is its smaller class sizes, personalised attention and ready-access to lecturers and tutors, offering students a high level of support. For international students, the smaller class size and friendly local community make it easier for those who wish to practice their English skills.

‘Our small class sizes ensure all students develop a personal relationship with their lecturers. I am still in contact with several students I taught over twenty years ago’, saysProfessor Justin Walls, Deputy Dean, Faculty of Health.

But student life is not all about study. It’s also about rewarding life experiences. The location of both campuses enables international students to explore all of the unique experiences Tasmania has to offer. The Medical Sciences Precinct is based in the heart of Hobart, Tasmania’s capital, and within short walking distance of popular cafés, restaurants, shops and galleries, not to mention the world-famous Museum of Old and New Art (MONA). This beautiful waterfront city, like its northern sister city, Launceston, on the banks of the Tamar River, is closely located to some of the best tourist attractions in Tasmania and the state is highly popular with students for good reasons. Tasmania has made the Lonely Planet’s ‘Top Ten Must Visit Destinations in the World’, with the award panel championing the locals’ “fresh, hip and inclusive attitude” and the state’s “eclectic, year-long events calendar”.

State-of-the-art facilities, world-respected lecturers and located in an internationally renowned tourist destination– where better to obtain a world-class degree than UTAS?
