The skills and knowledge gained in our ICT courses are transferable across countries and industries. This means that your studies can lead to work opportunities anywhere in the world.
Swinburne’s ICT courses are developed in close consultation with key industry representatives. Most of our undergraduate ICT courses are accredited at the professional level with the Australian Computer Society
(IT degrees) or Engineers Australia (telecommunication engineering degrees).
You degree can take you beyond the classroom to engage with industry and better prepare you for your career.
Swinburne’s Industry-Based Learning (IBL) program gives you practical experience during a six- or 12-month paid work placement. Your degree in information and communication technologies could lead to an IBL placement at Mercedes Benz as a website assistant or with ANZ Bank providing IT business solutions across international departments.
Capstone Projects engage students from across multiple disciplines and expose you to the kinds of collaborative environments you might experience in the workplace. You could help to develop a website advocating charity work in Cambodia, engineer an electronic chessboard for school children, undertake a research-based project analysing technological trends for the visually and hearing impaired, or assist a department at Swinburne with an internally developed project.

Swinburne’s personalised approach to learning puts you at the heart of everything we do. Our degrees give you the skills you need – not just the theory – so you’ll have first-hand knowledge of what’s needed when you start work.
Our Professional Learning Model lets you learn by doing and prepares you for professional life after university. We give you strong career skills, up-to-date knowledge of your chosen profession and as much exposure to real work environments as possible while you study for your degree.
Our flexible course structure allows you to add depth and breadth to your degree, by letting you choose from an extensive range of subjects from different disciplines.
Most three-year degrees at Swinburne comprise
24 units of study. You undertake most of these units in your primary area of study, which becomes your major.
Your major allows you to deepen your knowledge in a particular area. The number of units in a major may vary between courses.
The remaining units that make up your degree are called elective units, which you can use to explore related or non-related areas of interest.
Depending on your course structure and timetable availability, you may be able to use these units to complete a double major, a major and a minor, or a major with two minors.
Note: Some four-year degrees may not offer the same flexibility.
A minor is a set of units (shorter than a major) studied throughout a degree. The number of subjects in a minor may vary between courses.
Studying a minor will allow you to expand your career options by adding another area of expertise.
You can also add depth to your qualification by studying units related to your major.
Double degrees are a great way to broaden your study experience and are highly respected by employers. Double degrees combine two areas of study, and on completion you will be awarded two degrees. The duration is generally only one year longer than a single degree.
Swinburne offers a range of information and communication technologies double degrees, including combinations such as business information systems/commerce; games and interactivity/ computer science and software engineering; robotics and mechatronics/computer science and software engineering; telecommunication and network engineering/commerce; and telecommunication and network engineering/computer science and software engineering.
Many degrees at Swinburne offer an additional specialised honours (fourth) year. An honours year is intended to provide students who possess demonstrated academic ability with the opportunity to pursue their undergraduate studies at an advanced level. This allows you to deepen your understanding in your major field and develop your research skills. The honours course is a recognised point of entry into postgraduate research studies.
Honours students are required to complete a substantial original piece of research for their thesis, developing their ability to conceptualise problems, devise research strategies and carry out individual research work under the supervision of a staff member with expertise in the area.
Swinburne Online offers accredited undergraduate programs in an online learning environment.
The degrees are designed to meet the educational needs of people with commitments that keep them from studying on campus at university.
Commonwealth supported places are available for Swinburne Online degrees.
All of our courses have been designed specifically for online delivery and support. Learning content is provided through a combination of online readings and group learning exercises. The length of time required to complete a degree depends on the number of units undertaken in each teaching period.
Degrees can be completed in as little as two years, with a maximum duration of 10 years. Currently,
Swinburne Online offers degrees in business, marketing, communications, psychology, information systems and public relations.
Visit www.swinburne.edu.au/online
Swinburne’s new associate degrees are two-year qualifications based on hands-on skills and practical outcomes. They offer smaller class sizes and more support from teaching staff.
Associate degrees are available in the areas of business, design, digital media, engineering, health and community services, and information technology.
There is also the option to undertake further study.
On successful completion of an associate degree, you can progress to achieve a bachelor degree with one year’s extra study. For example, if you complete the Associate Degree of Applied Information and
Communication Technology, you may progress to the final year of the Bachelor of Applied Information and Communication Technology.
You could also apply to achieve diploma or advanced diploma qualifications (depending on the qualification) for study completed throughout the associate degree, graduating with more than one qualification.
Swinburne’s Summer and Winter terms give you the flexibility to spread out your study load to fit around your work and life commitments, or finish your course sooner. These six-week teaching periods also give you the opportunity to*:
■ ■ add breadth or depth to your degree by completing a minor
■ ■ undertake single units of study to explore areas of interest
■ ■ take a study tour to Kuching, Malaysia, home to Swinburne’s Sarawak campus.
Visit www.swinburne.edu.au/summer-winter
*Some of these options may not be available for all programs.

Swinburne offers a number of programs that extend beyond what you learn in the classroom and prepare you for your career. Industry Engaged
Learning programs allow you to engage directly with industry, giving you an understanding of the broader work environment, the confidence to explore the most appropriate way of communicating and the capacity to observe interpersonal dynamics.
Swinburne’s Industry-Based Learning (IBL) program gives you practical experience during your undergraduate degree. IBL is a six- or
12-month paid work placement in the industry in which you’re interested in pursuing a career.
IBL gives you a distinct advantage over other graduates. Combining tertiary qualifications with practical experience can better prepare you for the opportunities and challenges of professional life, and allow you to develop practical skills and an understanding of how your chosen industry works.
During your placement you will have the support of mentors and the opportunity to build contacts in your industry.
Employers value the knowledge and insight gained through vocational experience, and may offer you more opportunities and responsibility as a result.
IBL can also be a gateway to future employment.
Many participants return to work full-time for their
IBL employer.
Note: IBL is not available to international students due to student visa conditions.
Capstone Projects are professionally focused, practical team projects normally completed in your final year of study. Projects may be externally sourced industry or community projects, competitions, research-based projects or internally developed projects.
Capstone Projects give you a chance to identify your strengths and develop skills in project management, teamwork and working with stakeholders. Capstone Projects engage students from across multiple disciplines and expose you to the kinds of collaborative environments you might experience in the workplace.
The diverse nature of these projects make every experience unique – you could make valuable industry contacts, connect with an exciting community project or develop an industry solution that kickstarts your career.
Visit www.swinburne.edu.au/capstone
Internships help you gain professional and practical skills in your chosen industry. You will be placed with an employer to work on a research project or undertake work experience under the guidance of industry and academic supervision.
Internships are usually for two or three days a week throughout the semester and you will also attend weekly seminars during that time.
Internships are unpaid and are equivalent to a unit of study, which means that you earn credit towards your degree.
Internships programs form part of a number of degrees, including studies in arts, engineering, media and communications, psychology and social science.
Careers in the Curriculum helps you develop your career-planning skills. This is a free but compulsory unit for all students enrolled in an undergraduate degree at Swinburne. You will develop a personal study and career plan, and explore available job options. You will also gain invaluable practical advice and learn how to:
■ ■ analyse your employability skills and training needs
■ ■ write a winning résumé and cover letter
■ ■ enhance your online applications and job search
■ ■ develop your interview skills
■ ■ network with industry contacts
■ ■ understand employer expectations.
A number of delivery modes are available, so you can fit it into your degree when it best suits you.

Whether you are preparing for your first job, looking to retrain or taking the first step in a career change, a certificate, diploma or advanced diploma could be the right choice for you. These courses are focused on learning for work, or in many cases, learning at work. They help you to build the practical skills and technical expertise that make you employable.
Swinburne certificate and diploma graduates are in demand by employers because they are industry ready. During your course, you’ll be using the equipment and technology you’ll encounter once you start your job. All of our programs have work-based elements, which can include work placements and projects, work scenarios and simulations to ensure you are work ready.
The course you choose depends on your current level of knowledge and what you want to achieve.
It is also possible to progress between levels as your skills and knowledge grow.
If you left school before completing Year 12 or missed out on the basics, a foundation course may suit you.
Courses at this level provide basic training in a specific industry area. The courses aim to get you started in an industry or provide the specific skills your employer wants. Many Certificate I and II courses are pre-apprenticeships.
Certificate III and IV courses provide entry into various trades, traineeships or other jobs that require skills and knowledge beyond a basic level.
Courses at diploma and advanced diploma level help you to progress to a university degree or get started in a paraprofessional job. Alternatively, they can give you the skills to get a promotion, or the confidence to handle increased expectations at work.
Our Vocational Learning Framework focuses on helping you achieve your learning, workplace and career needs. The framework provides you with individual attention to assist you with all aspects of your study experience. It offers individual learning and assessment planning, support and a full range of services.
You will be assigned a learner mentor who will help to identify your learning needs and establish a corresponding learning and career pathway plan.
Throughout your course you will have the support and guidance of your teacher and learner mentor.
This approach also allows you to choose where, how and how often you undertake your study through our flexible study options. These can include:
■ ■ on-campus attendance
■ ■ day, evening or weekend classes
■ ■
part-time study
■ ■
online learning
■ ■
blended learning (a combination of on-campus and online study)
■ ■
workplace delivery
■ ■
consolidated blocks (intensive workshops with individual learning and assessment between sessions).
The framework also takes into consideration prior learning, existing skills and life experiences, which may accelerate your training or mean you could already be eligible for a formal qualification.

Swinburne offers pathways that make it easy to move between vocational learning and a degree.
