Swinburne University

Swinburne University of Technology

In just over one hundred years Swinburne has grown from a local provider of technical education into an institution providing opportunities at all levels of tertiary study.

As an international student, you will be welcomed into a lively academic community, independently recognised for:

The diverse blend of cultures – We received a prestigious maximum rating of 5 stars for Cultural Diversity in the 2009 Good Universities Guide.

Its high standard of teaching – The Good Universities Guide has rated us the best university in Melbourne for Teaching Quality for the past three years.

Students who enjoy their study experience - The Good Universities Guide has rated us the best (or equal best) university in Melbourne for Graduate Satisfaction for the past three years.

Highly-focused research – Citations of our research have grown by 250 percent since 1999, a rate of growth that outstrips many of Australia’s larger universities.

Swinburne is the only Australian university invited to be a member of the European Consortium of Innovative Universities (ECIU) , which aims to foster student and staff mobility and share innovative programs to give students a competitive edge in today’s global employment market.

In 2006, under a landmark agreement between Swinburne and Northeastern University (Boston, USA), we created the Global Leadership Program, giving students the unique opportunity to achieve two master degrees from two high-ranking institutions from two different continents in the space of just two years. Since then, we’ve expanded upon this successful relationship and offer Global Programs not only in Business and Leadership, but Science, Professional Accounting and Education (with an Astronomy focus).
