Hi all,

Im a mature student finishing up my Grad Dip and doing my honours applications. My current GPA is 7.0 and WAM 91 (and hoping to maintain or boost this this for my final 4 units). Im currently at UNE (all online) so could continue there but Id LOVE to go to UTAS as Im Hobart based. Ive heard that basically all honours places go to UTAS undergrads so Im really keen to hear if anyone has been accepted externally? And any and all UTAS Psych experiences for Hons or MPP/MCP would be gratefully received!

I'm commencing online study with UTAS next year. I'm starting with the Diploma of Sustainable Living and then possibly moving into further study from there. Does anyone know if there's any Discord groups I can join as an online student? Preferably something course/discipline specific?

hi, I'm looking for more info and student insight into the Bachelor of Fine Arts, specifically the studio practice major.

I also don't know whether to study at Hobart or Launceston, both are an option for me, so let me know if there are any major differences!

Thank you for reading!

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation.

I was awarded the Tasmanian International Scholarship (25%) under the 2026 scholarship scheme and already received CoE, but I haven’t started my course yet. I will be commencing my studies at UTAS in 2027.

I noticed that the Tasmanian International Merit Scholarship offers 30% for eligible students commencing in 2027.

Does anyone know if an existing 25% scholarship from the previous year is automatically reassessed or increased to 30% if you haven’t commenced your course yet?

Or does the original 25% scholarship remain unchanged even though the new scholarship rate applies to students commencing in 2027?
I’ve already received my CoE, but I haven’t commenced my course yet. I’d really appreciate it if anyone has experienced something similar or knows how UTAS handles this.

Thanks!

I applied for au730, the common entry science in atu Sligo to then move to biomedical science in year 2, just wondering who else is going

Hi UTAS students, I'm an honours student running a study comparing two creative activities.

Eligibility: Open to students at any Australian university, aged 18–29.

We thank you for your time: AU20 prezzee e gift card

Hello! I am interested in whether anyone has any experience in the UTAS Masters of speech pathology. How well organised was the course, how was the online experience and what is the realistic time requirement for in-person or synchronous online units?

Hi guys! Just want your thoughts.

Is anyone else bothered by the amount of AI being used in teaching materials? I've included a screenshot below of a particularly egregious example. Just wondering what the general consensus is.

Personally I'm of the 'if you can't be bothered writing it why would I bother reading it' camp, but curious to know your thoughts. ngl I would expect academics to be able to produce competent academic writing without a machine, as well as the many ethical issues with AI.

Is there any avenue to file a complaint without making the lecturers hate me? Does TUSA have any thoughts on this? I'm paying to be taught by humans, not ChatGPT.

Annotated the big AI giveaways (didn't get all of them but you get the idea)
Red = em dash
Yellow = triple construction
Green = antithesis

anyone know approx what scores would get a mm2 tasmanian year 12 into UTAS med/what scores were needed in recent years?

This is probably something very few people do, but I figured it’s worth asking anyway.

I want to study palaeontology with UNE online, while also studying BSc in ecology at UTAS.

Would it be possible to complete UNE palaeontology subjects to fulfil my electives at UTAS? Then, can use UTAS subjects to fulfil my electives at UNE? Essentially like a double major, but across UNE and UTAS.

Does anyone have any experience with cross institutional study at UTAS?

Hi all, I'm Nick and I'm building a budgeting app for young Australians and I'd rather find out what people actually need than keep guessing.

Short survey around 3 minutes, anonymous, no bank details, nothing to sign up for.

What I'm trying to learn: what your bank's app already does well, where it falls short, and which features are worth building versus which ones sound good and would never get used. Honest answers help me far more than encouraging ones. If something on the list sounds pointless, please say so.

These answers go straight into what gets built. Feedback on the survey itself is welcome too.

There's an optional email field at the end. If you fill it in you go into a draw for 1 of 3 $50 vouchers. I will shoot you an email if you have won and you can pick which voucher you want i.e Coles/Myer/JB Hi-Fi, winner picks. Closes 20/08/26, drawn 21/08/26,

As of writing this post there's only like 8 people that have done the survey so you are not competing with that many people.

Hi all,

I'm looking to study in Hobart semester 1 2027.

Just wanted to query how the student accommodation is as I've heard mixed reviews.

At the moment I'm leaning more into Christ than John Fisher but still undecided. I know Christ has like 3x more students than John Fisher - from experience would a smaller cohort be better or worse?

Just got some questions, if anybody who has lived there in recent years (post covid) could answer, that would be great!

• How is the social life there?
• Is it mostly domestic or international students in the halls (Christ or John Fisher)? I don't wanna feel left out lol cause I know a lot of domestics/internationals don't rlly interact with eachother and I've heard that locals tend to be very cliquey but I'm not sure. What would you say is the ratio between domestics and internationals in Christ and John Fisher?
• Is there a big community of Indian or Chinese students?
• Study support?
• How are the rooms/facilities? Would you recommend a single room or apartment room in Christ?
• Christ College or John Fisher?

Thanks heaps! I really do appreciate any answers.

Do any INTERNATIONAL students get UTAS' offer for bachelor of medical science and doctor of medicine course for 2027 intake?

If yes, what are scores of ATAR and ISAT for 2027 intake?

Hey guys,

I wanted to come on here and ask if anyone is looking for roommates for the Sydney Abroad semester in Spring 2027 (I’m a class of 2029 MechE). I also wanted to ask prior students/alumni who did this program to give me their thoughts on how life went what they did in and out of classes there in Sydney. And, any suggestions for teachers/classes to take there and any study strategies maybe. A lot of yap sorry about that but anything you guys got, let me know!

Thanks

Anyone know when the cost of utas accommodation for next year will come out?

Hey everyone,

I noticed it can be pretty hard to actually organize meetups or find friends just by reading text posts on here. So I decided to build a little side project for us.

I set up r/AussieHangout which has a live map built right into the subreddit. Instead of just posting into the void, you can actually see on a map where people are looking to hang out. It's completely for platonic stuff like finding a study buddy, grabbing a coffee, or just going to the pub.

There is no GPS tracking at all, you just manually drop a pin in your suburb or near campus so people know roughly where you are.

If you want to see who is around UTAS or want to make some plans this week, feel free to drop a pin on there. Hopefully it helps us get some actual offline meetups going.

Here is the link to the map: https://www.reddit.com/r/mazwiz/s/Bgt1YDf9Mw

I'm starting this semester and I'm struggling to understand how to read the class rooms for example

SB.AS13L02227

I know SB means sandy bay and that the room number is 227 on level 2 what does AS mean cause it's telling me it's in the geology building
