Study Abroad in Melbourne Program

If you’re currently enrolled in a university overseas that is not a partner of Swinburne, you can still experience the fun and excitement of studying in Australia through the Study Abroad in Melbourne Program.

Program details

Duration

The Study Abroad in Melbourne Program allows international students enrolled at a university that is not a partner of Swinburne to study at Swinburne for one or two semesters. You can begin your studies in either Semester 1 (March–June) or Semester 2 (August–November).

Entry requirements and fees

Learn more about the entry requirements and tuition fees for our Study Abroad in Melbourne Program, including the English and academic requirements.

Choosing your subjects

The normal unit (subject) load is four units per semester.

Alternatively, you may choose to maximise your time to explore Melbourne and take only three units. We call this the ‘Study 3 Abroad’ option. If you choose this, you will enjoy all the benefits of being enrolled as a full-time student, but only take and pay for three units.
