STRONG INDUSTRY CONNECTIONS
“I’ve known since I was young that I wanted to be a professional pilot.
Swinburne provided me the opportunity to complete two degrees
and all my fl ight training in four years – other courses in Australia and
overseas didn’t offer the same level of specialisation.
I chose Swinburne in part due to its strong industry connections
that provide specialised courses relevant to actual issues that I will
be seeing after I graduate. I also enjoy Swinburne’s widespread
international diversity.”

Full homestay includes three
meals per day, a furnished
bedroom, and electricity, gas
and water. Students generally
prepare their own breakfast and
lunch from ingredients provided

PRIVATE RENTAL & SHARE
ACCOMMODATION
The most popular and
affordable accommodation
option is to share a two or
three room rental house or
apartment with other students.
You can’t pre-book share

another accommodation option
for when you fi rst arrive and
then consider moving after a
few months settling in. Once
you have your Swinburne
student number, share
accommodation listings can
easily be found on the online
Swinburne Student Housing

of share accommodation is
$100 per week for a room
plus utilities (gas, electricity
and water), which are
approximately $15 per week.
You can also choose to
establish your own household
in a privately rented fl at or
house. Swinburne International
can provide you with advice on
location, and a reference letter
confi rming your enrolment at
Swinburne. Remember that
setting up your own fl at or

it, so you’ll need to budget
for that.

MY ADVICE: CHOOSE MELBOURNE!
Studying in Melbourne is a great experience and I enjoyed the
different education system at Swinburne. Outside of class I spent my
time playing sports, socialising at house parties and clubs and also
surfi ng at beaches along the Great Ocean Road. My advice for future
students is to choose Melbourne. You will fi nd everything you need,
want and dream about in Melbourne. Go for it!

INTERNATIONAL ATMOSPHERE
The thing that I enjoyed most about Swinburne and Melbourne is

will also get to know different cultures and be ‘mates’ with everyone
from everywhere.

“Swinburne is near the train station. It has up-to-date facilities, and
libraries. It has a big international student base. I can make new friends
from all over the world.”
One of the great things about being an international student at

environment; or who prefer the
advantages of small class sizes,
greater contact hours and more
teacher/student interaction.
The Uniprep programs are the
equivalent to an Australian year 12,
whereas Unilink programs are
the equivalent to the fi rst year of
a bachelor degree and prepare
students for second-year entry.

SPACE TO EXPRESS YOURSELF
I chose Swinburne because it offered me an interesting Bachelor of
Arts program, as well as a great location. Glenferrie Road, on which the
Hawthorn campus is located, is a great place to have a coffee or lunch
between classes. Plus the campus is only ten minutes by train to the
city. The fact that Swinburne’s campuses aren’t too big also contributes
to making Swinburne a great place to study: by sharing a campus
space with a limited number of students one can feel truly part of it, as
well as a unique individual with enough space to express yourself.

OVERSEAS STUDENT HEALTH
COVER (OSHC)
It is compulsory for all student
visa holders, and their
dependants, to maintain
OSHC throughout their course
of study.
The Australian Department
of Health and Aged Care has
advised that the following
students do not need OSHC:
Norwegian students insured
under the Norwegian National
Insurance Scheme (NIS), and
Swedish students with health
insurance provided by CSN
International (the Swedish
National Board of Student Aid).
If you have one of these types
of insurance, please include
evidence with your application.
It is a condition of your student
visa that you maintain current
OSHC for the duration of your
visa. If you need to extend
your OSHC (eg. you fail some
units and need to extend
your time here), it is your
responsibility to do this directly
with the OSHC Provider.
We will arrange your OSHC
membership with our preferred
provider and will include the
OSHC payment in your initial
deposit indicated in your letter
of offer, which you pay when
you accept your offer.
We strongly recommend that
you purchase Program Length
Cover. This is a once only
payment which provides rate
protection for the duration
of the cover. This means
that even if OSHC premiums
increase during the time of
your Program Length Cover,
you do not have to pay
any increase. If you wish to
choose this option, Swinburne
International can calculate
your Program Length
Cover premium.
