Industry-Based Learning (IBL)
Why wait until you have finished university to get a great job? Giving students a foot in the workforce door with valued industry experience is a key part of Swinburne’s Industry Based Learning program. IBL gives you a chance to combine your degree with meaningful, paid work in your chosen field for 6 or 12 months.

International experience
Students can choose to add an international flavour to their education, and gain the study benefits and life experience that comes from travelling to another country. You have the option of going on exchange, undertaking a study tour, or filling an IBL placement overseas.

Professional Learning
As part of its major Professional Learning initiative, Swinburne is increasing its range of project based learning options, strengthening industry connections and integrating career skills development even more firmly in undergraduate teaching. This new initiative will allow students to select units from outside their major discipline, undertake career management training and access a wider range of international opportunities and major final year projects.

Pathways
At Swinburne we offer students an advanced credit transfer system known as the Pathways Program. This allows you to move seamlessly between courses offered by TAFE and university.

Double degrees
In a number of Swinburne’s science courses you can transfer between single and double degrees in the early stages of the program. Double degrees give you knowledge in two separate fields and expand your career opportunities.

Location
All of Swinburne’s science degrees are offered at the Hawthorn campus.
