Please note - Swinburne University of Technology

Employers of students benefit by obtaining a reliable and
continuing source of personnel and by establishing a direct
liaison with Swinburne. Contact with students assists
employers in choosing the best graduates and reducing the
cost of recruiting and training new professional staff.
The students are visited regularly by academic staff during
their industrial semesters. Some students have the opportunity
to obtain work experience overseas. In such cases,
academic staff from local educational institutions visit the
students at their places of work. Programs of exchange with
the following institutions have been of particular value to
students:
University of Surrey. England
University of Victoria, Canada
Drexel University, USA
Northeastern University, USA
% FachHochschule fur Technik, Mannheim, Germany
Students without permanent resident status should be
aware that industry based learning is not available for
certain courses. In the other courses, it is subject to the

availability of industrial places and the achievement of a
suitable level of English language skills by the student.

employment for students without permanent resident status
because priority is given to Australian citizens and
permanent residents.
Students without permanent resident status are advised to
seek placement in their home country. The Faculty will
provide information on academic institutions capable of
providing supervision of industrial placement in the home
country.
