Students have the opportunity to meet experienced professionals and apply their tips during their learning experience.

Students create prototypes or solutions to real world industry problems, guided and mentored by industry specialists in their field. The result is a more dynamic and impactful student experience.
‘I believe studying at Swinburne to be an invaluable learning experience,’ says Certificate IV in Cyber Networking student Feysel Reshed.
