Geographyo The integrated study of the Earth,
ecosystem processes, plants and animals, and complex social systems is key to addressing twenty first century challenges – so called ‘wicked problems’ of our time.
o We offer distinctive programs in human and physical geography, environmental planning and management.
o Well-rounded integrative thinkers are always in high demand.
Geographyo Learn from leading geographers whose
research spans local, national and international scale questions.
o Learn to think critically and help answer problems with more than one cause and possibly more than one solution.
Surveying and Spatial Scienceso The surveying and spatial industry is
amongst the nation’s fastest growing sectors.
o Significant demand for graduates capable of working with spatial data and technologies to solve diverse problems across the natural, rural and built environment.
Surveying and Spatial Scienceso “Surveying” rated as Australia’s most
underrated degree – 90% of graduates in full time employment, median starting salary $52,000 (McCrindle Research, 2014).
o Field work; office work; urban, rural and remote areas; diverse valued roles within small, medium and large private firms and consultancies, or across all levels of Australian government departments.
Surveying and Spatial Scienceso 3 year degree. 1 year Graduate Diploma
in Land Surveying for those wanting to pursue cadastral registration.
o Internationally recognised research in remote sensing and geospatial analysis, and environmental space geodesy.

Leenah Ali, BangladeshBachelor of Engineering“The good thing about my degree is that every semester we get to experience different kind of engineering. We then get to decide what we would like to major in. I think it is good because you get to experience everything and don't make any rash career choices. I was also able to find a job working at a local fashion store, which I really enjoy, so that helps me with other expenses.”

Sandip Budhatkoki, NepalBachelor of Information and Communication Technology“I chose to study at the University of Tasmania after researching Australian universities in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane and visiting various consultancies in my home country. At the time, I had a lot of friends studying in different courses in Tasmania and they encouraged me to consider the University of Tasmania as it was an excellent place to study and the environment and the weather were not too different to my home country.”

Maitri Mehta, IndiaMaster of Information Technology and Systems
“I came from India to study a Master of Information Technology and Systems combining systems and IT together which was the main reason why chose it – I couldn't find this combination in any other university. At the University of Tasmania I am an individual, not just a number.”

Napatsorn Torchareon, ThailandMaster of Applied Science (Marine Environment)
“I took part in the Direct Entry Academic Program at the UTAS English Language Centre before I began my formal studies here and found it very useful. The teacher taught us how to listen and interpret what the lecturers were saying, take notes and how to write an essay. It was also a great way to meet new friends who were all in the same boat as me.”

Abun Pandey, NepalMaster of Applied Science (Agricultural Science)
"One of the best things about the masters degree in agriculture is that more than 50 percent of the degree provides hands on, practical experience."
