Swinburne University of Technology - Internationalisation

Internationalisation

Swinburne offers students the opportunity to gain an international experience as part of their studies, though study tours, exchange programs, overseas internships, or a semester spent at the Sarawak campus. Swinburne has one of the highest student mobility rates of any university in Australia.

In 2000, Swinburne partnered with the State Government of Sarawak, Malaysia to form an international branch campus in Kuching. In May 2010, the Sarawak campus was awarded self-accreditation status by the Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education, confirming Swinburne’s reputation as an internationally recognised provider of higher education. Swinburne Sarawak is ranked in the top tier of universities in Malaysia according to the MQA Rating System for Malaysian Higher Education Institutions (Setara).

Overseas students began studying at Swinburne in the 1950s. Approximately 7,500 international students from more than 100 different countries studies at Swinburne in 2011.
