Swinburne’s International Partnerships

A truly international university, Swinburne has developed successful relationships with universities around the world, and established Swinburne University of Technology (Sarawak campus) in Malaysia, in 2000. There is extensive mobility of teaching staff between Swinburne Australia and our campus in Malaysia, and a range of joint teaching, research and staff and student mobility programs has been established in conjunction with our partner universities around the world.

Swinburne is the only Australian university invited to be a member of the European Consortium of Innovative Universities (ECIU), which aims to foster student and staff mobility and share innovative programs to give students a competitive edge in today’s global employment market.
