The Australian Maritime College (AMC) and the University of Tasmania (UTAS) integrated on 1 January 2008, with AMC becoming a specialist institute of the University.

AMC will continue to build Tasmania’s reputation as a centre of expertise in maritime-related studies, including naval architecture, ocean engineering and maritime hydrodynamics, integrated transport logistics, marine science and technology, fisheries and sustainable management of ocean resources.

As an enhanced maritime institute of the University, AMC will expand on its “applied marine” focus and its established strong links with industry, building on its reputation, course offerings and research activity in key marine/maritime sectors.

Educational awards will recognise students as graduates of the Australian Maritime College, an institute of the University of Tasmania.
