|  GlobaLinks Learning Abroad, formerly known as AustraLearn, offers study abroad and degree programs at the University of Tasmania. The University of Tasmania (UTAS), founded in 1890, is one of Australia’s oldest and most distinguished universities. It is consistently ranked among Australia’s top universities for both teaching and research. UTAS is located on the scenic island state of Tasmania, just a short flight from the Australian mainland. Tasmania has a Mediterranean climate and stunning natural scenery, making it a perfect destination for outdoor recreation. Cities are big enough to offer a great choice of restaurants, entertainment and services, while still providing a reassuring sense of community and easy access to infrastructure. Of a total student population of more than 26,000, there are currently around 3,000 international students studying at the University’s two main campuses, at Hobart in the south and Launceston in the north. Scholarships The Tasmanian International Scholarship Scheme is one of the most generous in Australia. There are an unlimited number of scholarships for most programs, providing a 25% reduction in registered tuition fees for the duration of a course (Foundation Studies and most Undergraduate and Master-by-Coursework degrees). Eligibility is based on prior academic achievement and all course applicants are automatically considered for a scholarship.
