Testimonial from a past student
"My experiences since coming to Melbourne have been truly awesome. It has been one of the most exciting times of my life getting to live in a new culture and meet so many new people. Swinburne University has a beautiful campus with great professors and my classes have been very interesting. Australia has so much to offer... nice and welcoming people, beautiful landscapes, and some unique and amazing wildlife.
This will be an experience I will never forget."
