What is Swinburne Foundation Program?

The Swinburne Foundation Program is a pathway course for international students who have completed Year 11 of high school and are looking to start their studies at Swinburne. The program focuses on solidifying their basic fundamental academic skills and preparing them to eventually transition into a bachelor degree.

After the successful completion of the Swinburne Foundation Program, students can choose to transition into a UniLink diploma followed by the second year of a bachelor degree (if they prefer extra support) or directly into the first year of a bachelor degree.

Is it the right option for me?

  • did not complete Year 12 of high school in Australia or equivalent overseas qualification
