University of Tasmania (UTAS) - Hobart
About
The University of Tasmania offers great courses in an extraordinary location, and teaching is supported by world-leading research, so students know that they're getting direct access to the best expertise. The courses give students the opportunity to explore nature and access adventure while they study, through field work and hands-on learning experiences that take them underwater, overseas and across this incredible island. No matter which University of Tasmania campus students choose to study at, they will be close to stunning wilderness and part of a vibrant and supportive community.
The University of Tasmania’s main campus in Hobart is located in the suburb of Sandy Bay. It has panoramic river and city views and is close to shops and transport. It is a quick walk from the city-based satellite campuses including the Hedberg, the School of Creative Arts and Media, the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS), the Medical Science Precinct, the Media School and the Domain. The University also has off-campus facilities including the University Farm near Richmond, observatories and the Grote Reber Physics Museum in Cambridge, and an optical telescope located at Bisdee Tier, approximately 50 kilometres north of Hobart.

Features
Temporary Graduate Visa
108 out of 108 programs are eligible for Temporary Graduate Visa.
The Temporary Graduate Visa (subclass 485) allows international students who have recently graduated from an Australian institution to live, study, and work in Australia temporarily after they finish their studies.
This visa is divided into two streams:
- Graduate Work stream – For international students who have skills and qualifications that relate to an occupation on Australia's Skilled Occupation List. This stream grants a visa for up to 18 months.
- Post-Study Work stream – For international students who have recently graduated with a degree from an Australian institution. This stream can grant a visa for 2 to 4 years depending on the qualification level (bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degree).
The Temporary Graduate Visa helps graduates gain work experience in Australia, and in some cases, it may also help them qualify for a skilled migration visa if they meet additional criteria.
