At IMAS, our interdisciplinary approach to teaching marine and Antarctic science brings together the study of natural sciences with current practice in management, policy and law.
Our world-class research and degree programs draw on the natural advantages of Tasmania as the gateway to the vast temperate marine environment, the Southern Ocean and Antarctica. Tasmania is also home to one of the world's largest cohort of marine and Antarctic researchers.
Along with our 180-strong workforce of academics and technical staff at IMAS, our students benefit from our strong partnerships and relationships with local research and teaching organisations.
