Hence, the University of Tasmania has a young, vibrant flavour to it as well as the prestige of being one of the oldest universities in Australia.

Dear students,

Greetings from the island state of Tasmania, Australia where you will find the University of Tasmania (UTAS), recently ranked in the top ten universities in Australia.
I write to you as Dean of the Faculty of Law, University of Tasmania (UTAS) to inform you about some exciting changes to our Law program which I believe may of interest to potential students.
The Faculty of Law at UTAS is the fourth oldest Law school in Australia and ranks in the Top 200 Law Schools globally. We offer our students a traditional yet innovative Law program, taught by practicing legal practitioners and internationally recognized researchers.
Our program is chosen by many international students seeking an internationally recognized Law degree who wish to be advantaged by our award-winning international student support program for academic and pastoral care.
We generally have between 550 and 600 students enrolled in our Law programs at any given time and of these, approximately 25% are international students.
 
The UTAS Law degree is formally recognized by the legal profession and relevant government accreditation bodies in most commonwealth countries including the United Kingdom, Canada, Singapore, Malaysia, India, South Africa, New Zealand and most Pacific nations.
The Faculty offers undergraduates two entry points for the Law degree which commences in February and July annually:
· Students with above average results in their Australian Year 12 equivalent studies, may enter the four year program directly.
· Students with average grades in their Australian Year 12 equivalent studies, may enter our 1 + 3 program in which students undertake their first year of tertiary studies in an alternate Faculty (such as Arts or Business), undertake two introductory Law subjects, and on successful completion of all subjects in their first year studies, may transfer in to Year 2 of the Law degree.
The duration for these studies remains four years and in terms of content, is identical to the direct entry program.
 
Many students also choose to undertake one of our double degrees, graduating with an LLB plus an Arts, Business, Computing, Economics, Information Systems or Science degree.
These combined degrees take 5 years to complete.
 
All applicants for a UTAS LLB or combined degree are automatically assessed for Tasmanian International Scholarship (TIS) eligibility. Successful awardees of TIS are provided with a 25% tuition fee scholarship for the duration of their studies providing they maintain satisfactory academic performance.
UTAS recognises that the Australian dollar is currently very strong against most currencies but are confident that our reasonable tuition fees, generous scholarship program and low cost of living (Hobart has the lowest cost of living of any Australian capital city) make us an affordable and attractive option for those seeking a cost-effective study option that does not compromise quality.
In addition to the opportunity to graduate with an internationally recognized degree from one of Australia’s most recognised universities for Law, our graduates can take advantage of the Australian government’s Post Study Work visa options if they wish to gain some work experience in Australia on graduation.
For more information on our LLB program, please contact us and we will be happy to send you more details.
