Swinburne University of Technology is a public research university based in Melbourne, Australia. It was founded in 1908. Swinburne is a large and culturally diverse organisation. A desire to innovate and bring about positive change motivates our students and staff. The result is in an institution that grows and evolves each year. Swinburne has an international reputation for quality research that connects science and technology with business and the community. Our standing in prestigious world academic ranking lists reflects our commitment to high-quality teaching and research and graduate outcomes.

More than 100 years ago Swinburne opened its doors with a simple premise in mind: to provide education to a section of society otherwise denied further education. More than a century later, we continue to persevere in our commitment to not only provide, but also transform education through strong industry engagement, social inclusion, a desire to innovate and, above all, a determination to create positive change.

For over 50 years, we’ve been patterning with leading Australian and global organisations to offer students authentic workplace experiences. These create opportunities for valuable workplace experiences. On top of that, industry representatives inform and shape our curriculum. Our Work-Integrated Learning program offers six- and 12-month paid work placements, during which you could find yourself working with prospective employers and developing valuable industry networks. You may also have access to the Swinburne Innovation Precinct as part of your course.
