How to Apply

 


Undergraduate and TAFE Programs

All full time Undergraduate programs and the majority of full time TAFE courses offered by Swinburne require a Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC) application.

VTAC works as an application and administrative agency for all Victorian Universities and TAFE institutes. Applications must be submitted electronically via the VTAC website.

Produced annually, the VTAC Guide to university and TAFE courses is available from newsagents. You can also view it on the VTAC website.

The VTAC toll free number for general enquires is 1300 364 133.


Postgraduate Programs

Direct applications are necessary for all postgraduate study at Swinburne University.


Single Unit of Study

Our Higher Education Division offers single unit of study enrolment in a number of disciplines at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

Single unit of study is offered to students not enrolled in a Swinburne degree program. You will not receive an award at the completion of study, but receive a results certificate.


Summer and Winter Terms

Summer Term

Summer Term at Swinburne generally runs from the middle of December until the middle of February. It offers the opportunity for both Swinburne and non-Swinburne students to complete study of a wide range of units from the mainstream programs.

 

Winter Term

Winter Term at Swinburne runs over a six week period from June to July and is available to both undergraduate and postgraduate students. Undergraduate students may choose to speed up, slow down, or spread out their studies by enrolling in one or two units of study. For postgraduate students Swinburne only offers units of study for selected higher education postgraduate programs.
