International Study Abroad Program

There are two study options available: the Student Exchange Program, which is for students currently enrolled at one of Swinburne's partner universities and involves reciprocal exchange agreements, and the Study Abroad Program, which is open to students enrolled at any university, including those that are not Swinburne partners.

You can study at Swinburne for one or two semesters as part of your degree while enrolled at your home university.

Melbourne is considered a fantastic city to live and study in, offering world-class restaurants, art-filled laneways, hidden bars, beautiful parks and reserves, countless galleries, museums, arts festivals, heritage buildings and sporting events such as the Australian Open, F1, and cricket.

No, you do not need to be enrolled at a Swinburne partner university. If your home university is a Swinburne partner, you may be eligible for the Student Exchange Program. If it is not a partner university, you can still apply through the Study Abroad in Melbourne Program.
