Study

We have an interdisciplinary approach to teaching marine and Antarctic science that integrates the study of natural sciences with current practice in management, policy and law.

We seek to teach the next generation of internationally competitive and renowned scientists, policy makers, law makers, and globally aware citizens.

Our world-class research and degree programs draw upon the natural advantages of Tasmania as the gateway to the vast temperate marine environment, the Southern Ocean and the Antarctic. Tasmania is home to one of the world's largest critical masses of marine and Antarctic researchers.

Aside from the 180-strong workforce of academics and technical staff, our students benefit from the strong partnerships and relationships with a wide range of local research and teaching organisations.

Join us to take the next step in your education and career.
