The University of Tasmania (UTAS) is a public research university primarily located in Tasmania, Australia. Founded in 1890,[1] it is Australia's fourth oldest university. Christ College, one of the university's residential colleges, was founded in 1846 and is the oldest tertiary institution in the country. It is a sandstone university and a member of the international Association of Commonwealth Universities[2] and the Association of Southeast Asian Institutions of Higher Learning.[3]

The university offers various undergraduate and graduate programs in a range of disciplines, and has links with 20 specialist research institutes and co-operative research centres.[4] Its Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies has strongly contributed to the university's multiple 5 rating scores (well above world standard) for excellence in research awarded by the Australian Research Council. The university also delivers tertiary education at the Australian Maritime College, the national centre for maritime education, training and research.
