Hobart College is a senior secondary college located at Mount Nelson, in Hobart, Tasmania. It was founded in 1913 as Hobart High School, renamed Hobart High Matriculation College in 1966, Hobart Matriculation College in 1965 and subsequently Hobart College. It is a post year 10 institute, offering the final two years of the Tasmanian curriculum, awarding the Tasmanian Certificate of Education (TCE) and VET certificates.
The college was the first in Tasmania to be developed solely for years 11 and 12, the students in years 7-10 being re-directed to other high schools such as Taroona High School. The college further has one of the largest International Student Programs in Tasmania.
The current Hobart College campus was originally part of the former Tasmanian College of Advanced Education, established in 1972, a large part of which was eventually absorbed into the University of Tasmania. Buildings on the campus reflect the architectural style of inner city American college designers of the late 1960s, with massive concrete facades and few windows in the earliest buildings.
College facilities include a drama auditorium, sport and recreation centre, library, various computer laboratories, canteen, many sporting fields.
