Student and alumni testimonials

 

Candice ConcessioCandice Concessio

Bachelor of Science (Psychology/Psychophysiology) alumnae from India

"Swinburne University offers a myriad of courses. I chose this course because it was an exceptional combination of subjects. The part that I like most is doing research on a topic and writing reports about it – just as you would in a case study.

"My course is comprised of biology, psychology, and psychophysiology strands which makes the study of the human body a very exciting experience.

The campus is teeming with students from all cultures and you will feel at home.

The friendly atmosphere and the warmth of the teaching faculties in the university is overwhelming. The sense of individuality and understanding between the lecturers and the students allows every student to feel important. The campus is teeming with students from all cultures and you will feel at home the minute you walk into the atrium."

Akanksha GambhirAkanksha Gambhir

Master of Information Technology (Professional Computing) student from India

"Following completion of my Computer Science Honours at Delhi University I wanted to choose a Master program that gave me specialised studies in IT/Network Systems. Swinburne University had been recommended to me and on further investigation I found that the program offered the ideal sequence of network studies.

"A highlight of the program has been the CISCO Academy Program labs, the exposure to live routers in classes has been industry relevant and  invaluable for my future.

"Living at Swinburne Residential College has not only been ideal for my studies, with only a short walk to class, but also quickly began to feel like home. I'm expecting and excited that on completion of my studies I will be well equipped to commence work as a network administrator or within a network/IT environment."

"I chose Swinburne because I wanted to be a part of its dynamic culture. Here there is 'unity in diversity' among cultures and people. This stimulates a great working environment and homely atmosphere.

Master of Arts (Media and Communications)

"I've been in Melbourne for almost a year and a half and Swinburne has been a part of my life since I arrived.

"Being an international student I was worried about how I would manage in this new environment, but Swinburne has made it so much easier and now I don't feel like an outsider.

"Swinburne has so many people from different backgrounds and they encourage a multicultural environment by giving people an opportunity to showcase their cultural activities (e.g. Swinburne Punjabi Club).

"Melbourne is a global community with people from different cultures living together as one."

Monik Shah

Master of Technology (Civil)

"After the earthquake in my home city of Ahmedabad in 2001, I resolved to study construction and earn enough money to repair my family's house.

"I was working as a graduate trainee engineer in India when my manager suggested taking a master degree in Australia. ‘If you return to India in five or six years with a master degree and some experience, your future will be very, very bright,’ he predicted. ‘You can share your knowledge in India and improve our technology.’

"When I graduate, I would like to work on major tunnel, freeway and railway projects. Right now there is a lot of opportunity in civil engineering.

"Swinburne staff were very, very helpful with organising my accommodation, helping me find a part-time job and with my study. Swinburne has been very good to me."

Harpreet Singh Maan

Master of Information Technology (Professional Computing) alumnus from India

IT is a fast-moving industry – if you don’t keep up, you might well get left behind. For Harpreet Singh Maan, this is just one of the reasons that makes the Swinburne difference.

Swinburne is a multicultural university with students from different parts of the world studying together and sharing resources.

“Swinburne offers a range of undergraduate courses and postgraduate programs which are always updated according to the needs of the industry,” says the 26-year-old Master of Information Technology (Professional Computing) alumnus.

“I chose Swinburne because it has a very good reputation and is among the top five universities in Australia for IT.”

Harpreet is also making the most of university life outside his studies. He co-founded the Swinburne Punjabi Club, which started in 2007 and was registered with the Swinburne Student Amenities Association in 2008.

"We aim to assist new students and encourage cultural understanding among different communities” he says. “We would like students from any part of the world to come and join.

“[Swinburne] is a multicultural university with students from different parts of the world studying together and sharing resources,” says Harpreet. “I feel proud to be a part of the Swinburne family.”
