As mentioned previously, Swinburne has student agreements with over 36 institutions worldwide. Please contact your Education Abroad office for more information. Any student, local or international, who is currently enrolled at Swinburne University of Technology and who has completed the equivalent of one year of full time study is eligible for exchange. Students selected to participate in exchange programs remain enrolled at Swinburne while they study abroad and remain eligible for local scholarships and financial assistance. They pay HECS on full-time enrolment and also pay compulsory General Service Fees.
Students are able to study overseas for a term, semester or a year.
Although the duration of exchanges vary, the Swinburne recommends that students remain at the overseas institution for one full academic year. It is felt that one semester is usually too short for the student to benefit fully from the exchange. The student completes a Course Planner with signatures from subject and course convenors. The availability of subjects will be determined by the host institution. Upon acceptance to participate in the exchange program, the student will select subjects which best suit their interests.
