What is Single Unit of Study?
A Single Unit of Study is a subject taken outside an award program. Students are not enrolled in any Swinburne undergraduate or postgraduate program and do not receive an award on the completion of study.
Single Units of Study are only offered on a full-fee paying basis.
Students who have completed Single Units of Study will receive a transcript by submitting the Application for Result Certificate form.
Please read the information on the application form carefully before applying.
What is Cross Institutional Study (incoming students)?
