James Cook University

The University of Tasmania (UTAS) is an international university working out of Tasmania.  The University was founded by an Act of the Tasmanian Parliament on 1 January 1890, and as the fourth oldest university in Australia we are an original ‘sandstone’ university. On 1 January 1991, the Hobart-based University merged with its northern neighbour, the Tasmanian State Institute of Technology, to form a ‘new’ University of Tasmania.  UTAS again extended its state-wide representation in 1995, opening the Cradle Coast Campus in Burnie.

UTAS, we continue to make far-reaching educational, cultural and economic contributions to Tasmania and the world.  While we maintain a strong and distinctive Tasmanian identity, our programs and research are international in scope, vision and standards.  Our family includes around 50,000 graduates who are now scattered across the globe.
