Warmest greetings to all!
It is my pleasure to welcome you to Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak Campus (Swinburne Sarawak), the only full-fledged international branch campus of Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia.
Located in the heart of Kuching city, Swinburne Sarawak is a vibrant campus that brings together a diverse community of students from over 50 countries. The campus boasts state-of-the-art learning and teaching facilities, and as a world-class research university, we are proud to produce innovative and high-impact research. All programmes offered at our campus are indistinguishable from our Melbourne campus, and our degrees are awarded by Swinburne Melbourne. Here at Swinburne Sarawak, students gain an internationally recognised Australian education, at a fraction of the cost.
We offer a comprehensive range of programs in arts, business, design, engineering, computing, and science, spanning foundation, diploma, degree and postgraduate levels. With more than 100 student-led recreational clubs, societies, and activities to choose from, campus life is exciting and full of opportunities to network and connect. In addition, Swinburne’s Student Life Volunteering Program and the Swinburne Sarawak Student Council offer students diverse leadership and volunteering opportunities that help students develop essential skills while making meaningful contributions to the community.
At Swinburne, we guarantee our students real industry experience through our Work Integrated Learning (WIL) program. WIL offers students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in real work environments, thus giving them a competitive advantage when they enter the job market. Through work placements, industry-linked projects, and industry study tours, students can apply their academic knowledge in real-world contexts.
This approach ensures that our students graduate with more than just a degree – they are equipped with real-world experience, future-ready capabilities, and an entrepreneurial mindset.
Swinburne is known for its deep partnership with industry. By working closely with industry leaders, we provide students with an enriching learning experience that anticipates the skills and talents the industry need for the future. Our students graduate with a work-ready mindset and are highly valued by the industry – this is evidenced by our high graduate employability rate of 95%.
In 2024, Swinburne Sarawak completed a RM50 million campus upgrading project that spanned across 4 key spaces in the campus – the new Student Hub, a purpose-built Food Hall, the Borneo Atrium that includes an extension to the library, and the upgraded student hostel which has been revamped into the Student Village. The project also included the enhancement of existing teaching and learning facilities to promote a flexible and innovative learning culture on campus. These upgrades ensure that Swinburne Sarawak continues to provide a world-class Australian education experience in the heart of Kuching city at affordable fees.
I invite you to be part of the next-generation talent. Discover the diverse opportunities that await you at Swinburne Sarawak. Join Swinburne, the Next Generation University now!
