SwinMates Club
SwinMates is now a vibrant student club through SSAA here at Swinburne for exchange and study abroad students at the Hawthorn, Prahran and Lilydale campuses.
SwinMates Club organises activities and events for visiting exchange and Study Abroad students so they can meet, talk, go out and share experiences with local Swinburne students.
SwinMates organise trips and activities, give advice on getting around the city, suggest places to visit and advise of the best places to go for help at Swinburne as well has fun. Local students can learn more about possible exchange opportunities of their own from our visiting Exchange and study Abroad students!
As well as socialising with the SwinMates, the club helps develop intercultural communication skills and provides international networking opportunities.
SwinMates Trips
Every semester, SwinMates organise trips and events for exchange and Study Abroad students and local Swinburne students. Some of the activities include a weekly night out, welcome drinks in the first week of the semester, International Dinners, City secret trips in Prahran, Collingwood and Melbourne CBD to explore some of the hidden alleyways the city has to offer, and farewell drinks towards the end of the semester. As a SwinMate club member, you can help organise new events of your own, a good way to build upon and practice event management and organisational skills.
