Benefit from extensive academic support throughout your studies

At Swinburne, we believe university should be a place of clarity and confidence. We want you to easily understand the requirements of your course and the outcomes of your degree.

Our degree structure gives you the freedom to choose between taking one or two majors, or adjusting your direction at any point.

You’ll also discover more work-based learning in our degrees, including professional internships and industry tours.

Enjoy more clarity, choices and flexibility in your studies at Swinburne.

Degrees

Our standard three-year degrees comprise 24 units of study.

Most of these units will focus on your primary area of study, which becomes your major. You can study one or two majors to deepen your knowledge in a particular area and sharpen your career focus. You can also choose a co-major, a set of units that differ from the field of study of your course, to add breadth to your studies.

All courses have core units that are designed to prepare you with essential skills and knowledge relevant to your chosen career.

The remaining course components that you can choose from are elective units and minors, which allow you to explore related or non-related study areas of interest. Our Signature Series of elective units aims to build practical skills and an expanded understanding of the world through units like Indigenous Studies, Professional Internship and Future Work Skills.

Sample degree structures are included at the beginning of each study area to show how you may structure your degree.

Double degrees

Double degrees are a great way to broaden your study experience and are highly respected by employers. They combine two areas of study and, on completion, you’ll be awarded two degrees.

Honours

You may be able to pursue your undergraduate studies at an advanced level by completing an additional specialised honours (fourth) year. An honours year allows you to deepen your understanding in your major field and develop your research skills. Many of our bachelor degrees have an integrated honours year, including design and engineering degrees.

Courses range from elementary to advanced levels. A new intake commences every five weeks so you can start when it suits you.

Course duration is between five and 50 weeks. The length of your course will depend on your current level of English and whether you want to continue with further study.

All English language courses are delivered at the Hawthorn campus.

Shop at boutiques, craft markets and malls

Ask any Australian for the best place to go shopping in the country and you’ll undoubtedly hear them say Melbourne. Shopping in Melbourne draws international visitors that enjoy browsing the various shops, boutiques and markets that the city is famous for. There is an array of local designers and major international brands to cater to every taste, from high-end to high-street.

Explore Melbourne’s laneways and arcades

Al fresco eateries and hole-in-the-wall bars all nestle side by side in laneways threading the city centre, giving Melbourne that European feel that it is so well known for. Many of Melbourne’s arcades – like the Block Arcade – have achieved heritage status and are home to boutique shops selling unique wares and work by local designers.

Check out Melbourne’s street art

Melbourne is known as one of the world’s best street art capitals; it’s a city that recognises the power of expression through art and provides public spaces for artists to display their work. Come across larger-than-life murals and loud-and-proud pop culture or political art as you make your way through various art hotspots in the city, including Hosier Lane, Croft Alley and AC/DC Lane.

Get into the sporting spirit!

From test cricket, the Australian Open tennis and Grand Prix motor racing to the Rip Curl Pro at Bells Beach and the Spring Racing Carnival, Melbourne takes the crown as the world’s sporting capital, as adjudged by the 2016 SportsBusiness Awards. The city also has a mild obsession with Aussie Rules Footy, a hybrid sport of rugby, soccer and an indigenous Australian ballgame.

Explore our backyard

Victoria is filled with fantastic sights and attractions, such as the Great Ocean Road and the Twelve Apostles; famous surf beaches; Phillip Island (home of the Penguin Parade); the untamed wilderness of Wilsons Promontory; the historical goldfields of Ballarat and Bendigo; renowned wineries in the Yarra Valley and skiing opportunities at the Victorian snowfields. Melbourne is a gateway to Australia – you can take the overnight ferry to Tasmania or take a train, bus or plane to other destinations around the country.

I switched majors to do what I enjoy the most (maths!) but Swinburne has allowed me to stay involved in the visual neuroscience lab, where I completed an internship. We got to present our research at conferences and are currently working on new research and papers towards publication. I don’t think I would have had such opportunities presented to me at other universities – I chose Swinburne as experience can never be replaced by academic ranking.

Other INFORMATION

Overseas student health cover

All student visa holders must have overseas student health cover (OSHC) for the duration of their study.

Swinburne will arrange your visa-length OSHC membership with our preferred provider. The OSHC fee will be included with your deposit indicated in your letter of offer.

Visa-length OSHC membership is a once-only payment that provides rate protection for the duration of the visa. This means that even if OSHC fees increase during the duration of your visa, you do not have to pay any increase.

If you need to extend your OSHC (for example, if you fail some units and need to extend your stay in Australia to complete your course), it is your responsibility to do this directly with the OSHC provider. Additional fees will be charged at time of renewal.

Exceptions apply to Norwegian students insured under the Norwegian National Insurance Scheme (NIS) and Swedish students with health insurance provided by CSN International (the Swedish National Board of Student Aid). Please include evidence with your application if you are covered under one of these programs.

How to apply for credit transferYou can apply for credit transfer by submitting a course or unit (subject) syllabus or other evidence of your skills with your application. You must also indicate on your application form that you are applying for credit transfer.

If you are applying for credit transfer for a design course, you may need to submit a portfolio.

If your application for credit transfer is successful, your letter of offer will state the updated course duration and the amount of credit for which you have been assessed. If you do not apply for credit transfer when you submit your application, you can do so within the first week of commencing your course. Applications for credit transfer made after this time may not be approved.

Applying for your student visa

You will need to obtain an Overseas Student Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) from Swinburne to complete your student visa application. Your CoE must accompany your application.

Visit www.border.gov.au for more information.

Students under 18

If you are under 18 years of age, your parents must nominate a guardian who lives in Australia before you can be considered for a student visa. Your guardian must be over 21 years old, related to you and of good character.

If you do not have an appropriate guardian with whom you may live in Australia, you will need to engage a Swinburne-approved care provider. This arrangement will include accommodation restrictions and places may be limited depending on the availability of suitable accommodation options.

Note: Some courses are not available to students who are under 18 years of age.
