Welcome to Lecture Theatre 8, located in the beautiful city of Launceston, Tasmania. As an establishment and point of interest, Lecture Theatre 8 offers more than just a space for academic lectures.

One of our proudest achievements is our research excellence, which delivers significant impact for and from Tasmania. We are deeply committed to forming connections and collaborations, not only within our university community but also with local industries, schools, and everyone who calls our island home.

In fact, our commitment to climate action has earned us international recognition. The University of Tasmania has been ranked #1 on climate action for universities worldwide.

This unique setting offers a backdrop for exploration and research, providing an exceptional learning environment for our students.

Our degree programs offer a global perspective on the big issues, attracting students from all over the world. Gemma Rushton, for example, took a 10-year gap before deciding to study a Bachelor of Natural Environment and Wilderness in one of the world's most incredible environments.

As the only university in the state, the University of Tasmania provides unrivaled industry access and opportunities to our students.
