Electives Plus @ Sarawak

Fast Track Over Winter

For four weeks during Winter Term a group of students will have the opportunity to fast track their degrees by studying an elective at Swinburne's Sarawak campus in Malaysia.

Swinburne has an exciting opportunity for students to study one elective during Winter Term. This is a 4-week overseas program giving you the chance to fast-track your degree on HECS, undertake an electives plus sequence, as well as experience the amazing destination of Kuching, Malaysia, home of Swinburne's Sarawak campus.

The group of students, accompanied by a Swinburne Australia staff member, will not only gain career-oriented skills, but also develop independence and make new friends.
