When planning your child’s study abroad journey in Australia, have you ever considered looking beyond traditional majors to help them become a standout specialist in a world-leading field?
The University of Tasmania (UTAS) ranks #2 in the world for Marine and Freshwater Biology. Its Bachelor of Marine and Antarctic Science is the only degree in Australia that seamlessly integrates marine biology with polar science.
Located in Hobart—one of the world's five official "Gateway to Antarctica" cities—the UTAS Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS) waterfront campus sits directly next to national scientific giants like CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) and AAD (Australian Antarctic Division). Studying at the epicenter of global polar research allows students to tap into top-tier scientific networks during their studies, dramatically boosting their career prospects upon graduation.
We are honored to host Patrick LAM, Official Admissions Representative from UTAS, as our guest speaker. Patrick will provide an in-depth look at the Marine and Antarctic Science program, its unique geographical advantages, internship opportunities, and the latest admissions updates.
