Purpose and Vision


It is recognised that there is a need to reimagine Northern Tasmania's – the Tamar/Esk region in particular – education and training priorities and in a 21st Century context. Specifically, it is anticipate that this may be achieved via: 
The present UTas Newnham and Inveresk Campus assets; 
 The 51ha Newnham site and related geographic locations; 
 The present physical and human resources and the current and refurbished infrastructure; 
 Being brought together as a competitive stand-alone 21st Century institution. 

Such an institution will need to be a highly competitive multi–disciplinary entity offering rigorous inter-related, education and training opportunities and delivering quality outcomes to Tasmanian, national and international students and candidates. 

Through such an institution the region will be better placed to meet the challenges of the future. Similarly, such an institution should interface with other Tasmanian, national and international institutions in collaborative and cooperative ways. 

Such an institution will also need to be a highly competitive multi–disciplined entity offering 21st Century education and training opportunities. 

Should these things be realised, the Tamar/Esk region will be better placed to meet the challenges of the future. 

The advancement of tertiary education in Northern Tasmania is currently hampered by a requirement of the Senate of UTas that developments in the North, which might be seen as having the potential to compete against Southern-based programs in UTas, will not be allowed by UTas. 

Freeing the North from these and other constraints will foster scholarship and entrepreneurship in Northern Tasmania.
