Study Abroad in Melbourne Program
Ready to make Australia your home and study in Melbourne for one or two semesters? Here’s what you need to know about your new adventure and jumping into the Study Abroad 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.
