So, why should you study in Melbourne?

Melbourne is a fantastic city to live and study in. With its world-class restaurants, art-filled laneways, hidden bars, beautiful parks and reserves, countless galleries, museums, arts festivals, heritage buildings and sporting events (Australian Open, F1, cricket and heaps more), it’s easy to see why Melbourne was voted the most liveable city in the world for seven years in a row! 

Make the incredible city of Melbourne your home for a semester or two when you study at Swinburne University of Technology.
