タスマニア大学 University of Tasmania コメントを書く

I chose to study with UTAS because of its world-renowned Environmental Studies Faculty and being tempted by the idea of undertaking nature studies in "The Natural State". After more than a year's study now, I can say that my choice has proven to be a life changing experience. From my personal experience, I can say that UTAS is a great place to learn about the environment and issues facing it; and what we can do professionally and personally to solve these issues. Hence, I highly recommend UTAS to students considering studying environmental studies in Australia.

My studies here have provided me with the opportunity to learn and interact with some of the greatest minds in my area of focus. Given my background in electronics engineering, I had very little understanding on many aspects of environmental science. But with a highly informative coursework and truly motivating lectures, my learning curve was steeper than I had initially anticipated. The commitment and involvement of the teaching staff in this faculty played a key role in my understanding of the fundamentals and then moving into an advanced learning program at the post graduate level. One of the commendable features of study here has been the flexibility to choose and pick the units I want to do and build my expertise in a chosen area of interest. There is also a high flexibility to undertake study units across different schools, including political science, zoology, plant science, fine arts, sociology, and law.

Tasmania is a natural paradise which supports a high degree of bio and geodiversity, also with a high degree of endemism. Any person who admires nature and wilderness is sure to be captivated by the enchanting beauty of the land and life-forms that Tasmania is endowed with. This in itself is inspiration enough to study natural sciences here at UTAS. Tasmania is also a place of several environmental battles (both in the past and in the present) and is a good setting to witness these issues first hand and gain a deeper understanding of the nature conservation and resource management issues in the contemporary society.
