Swinburne’s performance this year is driven by our research citation and employer reputation.
Innovative research and graduate employability
‘Our researchers continue to produce innovative solutions to real-world problems across a range of disciplines and sectors including health, data science, social innovation, smart cities and the future of manufacturing,’ says Swinburne’s Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research and Enterprise), Professor Bronwyn Fox.
‘Their work has been acknowledged in prestigious publications and garnered international recognition,’ Professor Fox adds.
Some of Swinburne’s recent achievements include:
- Launching the Victorian Hydrogen Hub in partnership with CSIRO and Germany’s ARENA 2036 to advance a net zero emission future

- Contributing to a world-first organic solution to creating clean and healthy waterways
- Leading a research team that demonstrated the world’s fastest and most powerful optical neuromorphic processor for artificial intelligence
The employer reputation metric is based on almost 50,000 responses to the QS Employer Survey, which asks employers to identify the institutions from which they source the most competent, innovative and effective graduates.
Swinburne’s performance in this area aligns with our vision to be the prototype of global best practice.
