If you are keen to undertake work experience during the upcoming holidays or the mid-year break, below are some tips that might help you turn your work experience into a part-time job.

• Show you are keen. If the employer can see you have a genuine interest in the job, this can give you an edge for future job opportunities. It is a great idea to arrive on time, ask lots of questions, be respectful to other employees and learn what they all do. If you are asked to participate in some way, say “YES”!!
• Hone your skills. Any work experience placement is a great way to develop valuable soft skills that you can use in any position anywhere. Being able to demonstrate things like communication, teamwork and adaptability is what employers like to see and you can have them on your resume.
• Always say “Thank you”!! Once your placement is finished, thank your employer for the opportunity they have given you. If you can show sincere gratitude, this will leave a positive impression on the employer and if you use them for a future reference, they will only have good things to say about you.

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit” – Aristotle

University Spotlight – University of Tasmania (UTAS) 

UTAS is the only university in Tasmania. The main campus is located in Hobart, just five minutes from the city centre. It is easy to access the campus via public transport and there are carparks for those who need to drive. UTAS also has campuses in Launceston, Burnie and Sydney.

The Hobart campus has teaching buildings split across several locations in the Hobart CBD. The main campus in Sandy Bay is home to most learning areas and buildings, while dedicated arts, media, music, medical research and marine studies facilities are located elsewhere.

Study Options

UTAS offers undergraduate courses in all standard study areas, including being one of the only universities in the country to offer an undergraduate-entry medicine degree.

UTAS also offers double degrees in many areas, meaning you can complete two undergraduate degrees in up to two years less time than it would take separately.

The academic year is split across two semesters, running roughly from mid-February to late-October, with a month-long break between semesters. Each semester also includes a week of non-teaching. They also offer three optional short semesters in summer (January-February), winter (May-July) and spring (October-January). No classes are run over the Christmas and New Year period. You can view the academic calendar for the year here.

The course structure of most courses at UTAS is slightly flexible, with many units offered across multiple different semesters and both online and on campus. Each course, however, has a recommended study pattern to follow. You can find out more about specific courses and units in the course handbook here.

Online Learning

UTAS offers a large suite of online courses, both at an undergraduate and postgraduate level, in nearly all study areas. Online courses are run in conjunction with on campus courses, so you will be learning the same material at the same pace as on campus students.

Some units, particularly those that include lab work or practical experiences, can only be done on campus.

Accommodation and Living

The University of Tasmania offers accommodation options at their Hobart, Launceston and Burnie campuses. There are five options at Hobart, four options at Launceston and one option at Burnie, all located on campus or very close by. While UTAS has no university-owned options at the Sydney campus, there are independent student accommodation options nearby.

UTAS currently does not offer guaranteed accommodation.

Sizes vary from studio to multi-bedroom options. 2023 prices vary from between $188 to $337 per person per week, depending on size and location. The fees for all accommodation options include some utility bills – electricity, water and access to the university internet (personal internet access must be purchased separately). All accommodation options are self-catered and fully furnished. Many options include additional facilities, such as laundries, dedicated support services, student clubs, study areas and more.

Contracts are offered on both 6 and 12-month terms, depending on location. Students must reapply for accommodation at the end of their contract.

You can see all accommodation options and application processes here.

Living off campus in Hobart can get quite expensive (the current median rental price for an apartment in Hobart is $520 per week), and rental options are generally highly competitive. More affordable options further away can mean a long travel time to and from campus.

Campus and Teaching Facilities

There is a variety of cafés and eateries on the Sandy Bay campus. Other facilities include a post office, gym, childcare services and prayer rooms. There are four libraries spread across the Hobart teaching facilities.

UTAS has several specialist teaching facilities in Hobart, including the Hedberg, Medical Science Precinct, Creative Arts Precinct and the Media School.

The Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS) has specialist facilities in Hobart and Launceston, including laboratories, aquaculture facilities and boating and diving facilities.

The Australian Maritime College (AMC) is also located in Launceston, with several specialist facilities dedicated to maritime engineering and logistics.

UTAS is currently working on big changes to both the Hobart and Launceston campuses, making them more accessible and highly integrated with local businesses and the community.

Tours and Information Sessions

You can take a virtual tour of many of the facilities at both the Hobart and Launceston campuses here. You can also take a self-guided sustainability tour of the campuses.  UTAS run both online and on campus information events for future students occasionally throughout the year. You can view the upcoming calendar of events here.

Next Steps

If you are interested in studying at the University of Tasmania and want to find out more information, the best way to do this is to contact them, either by phone on 1300 363 864, or by submitting an enquiry online.

UTAS also run one Open Day each year, currently scheduled for September.
