About Swinburne University of Technology
Swinburne University of Technology
is known for its single-minded insistence on ‘education that works’ and has a strong reputation in Australia and abroad as a provider of career-orientated education. It is also recognised widely as a university committed to innovative and focussed research.
With a strong technology base and tight links to industry, many Swinburne undergraduate courses include applied vocational emphasis and direct practical application through Industry Based Learning (IBL) programs, which places students directly in industry as an integral part of the course structure.
Swinburne is one of a few Australian Universities whose programs range from apprenticeships to PhDs, and the University plays a leading role in creating new and flexible ways to integrate different parts of the education sector. Swinburne provides numerous study pathways between sectors and courses, enabling students to move from TAFE to Higher Education and from degree courses into TAFE studies.
Teaching and learning enhancement is a strategic priority for the University and Swinburne is committed to flexibility in learning and the transfer of life long learning skills, and offers course structures which enable students to choose the time, pace, place and mode of learning which best suits their talents, circumstances and goals.
Swinburne was founded in 1908 to provide broad educational opportunities to residents of Melbourne’s eastern suburbs, and now occupies six Melbourne campuses: Croydon, Hawthorn, Healesville, Lilydale, Prahran and Wantirna. While mindful of its regional responsibilities, Swinburne also plays a significant part in the internationalisation of Australia’s tertiary education system and has a campus as Kuching, Sarawak (East Malaysia).
