University College (UC) is a college at the University of Tasmania which offers programs that provide both single year diplomas, and two-year associate degrees. These programs are offered as both stand-alone degrees, but can also be used to provide credit towards further study at the university.[2]

The college was launched in 2016 by Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull as part of the Universities transformation plan and seeks to provider a greater link between industry and education experts.[3][4] The college is based in Launceston, but operates throughout Tasmania at both the Hobart and Burnie campuses of the university.

Two year associate degree studies are available by the college within the Business, Health, Science, Technology, Agribusiness and Design fields.[7][8] Upon the competition of one year of the associate degree program, students can elect to receive a diploma.
