  • "As someone who comes from a small country town, the welcoming environment and smaller class sizes of the Swinburne STEM program had a profoundly positive impact on my overall learning experience. Swinburne gave me the chance to experience a number of different real-world applications of mathematics and lead me into the field I am in today."
