The University of Tasmania welcomes applications for admission from students who have been awarded the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma. Applicants with incomplete Diplomas (Certificate students) will be considered for concessional entry and should therefore not be deterred from applying.
How is an IB score compared to the Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR)?
As of September 2012, the University of Tasmania has adopted the South Australian IB to ATAR equivalency table for entry in 2013 as follows.
Courses at the University may be subject to quota selection, as some courses have a limited number of places and high numbers of applications.
