After several months of discussion, Swinburne University of Technology and the Education Centre of Australia (ECA) have mutually agreed to conclude our partnership to deliver Swinburne degrees in Sydney.

Like many education providers, we find ourselves in a challenging environment influenced by various external factors, including uncertainty around international student numbers.

Both parties believe that ceasing further intakes in Sydney is in the best interest of both organisations.

“We are grateful for the partnership with Education Centre of Australia and what we have jointly achieved. We wish ECA continued success in their future endeavours,” said Swinburne Vice-Chancellor Professor Pascale Quester.

“Swinburne has been an important partner for ECA, and we look forward to observing their continued success,” said ECA CEO Mr Rupesh Singh.

Both organisations remain committed to ensuring that those students currently enrolled through Swinburne Sydney will be able to complete their studies and gain their Swinburne qualification.

For further information, please contact Swinburne at media@swin.edu.au or ECA at rupesh@eca.edu.au.
