Accommodation Options
Many students choose homestay as their preferred accommodation option, as it gives them an opportunity to experience Australian culture and to practise their English. We can arrange homestay for Study Tour students - the homestay program allows students to have their own room and be treated as part of their host family.
Other accommodation options are available on request for individuals and groups.
Student Support Services
Studying and living in a new country can be very challenging. Students will experience a different environment, new customs and lifestyle as well as a new language. We understand these challenges and provide support and advice for all our students.
Areas of Specialisation
Swinburne can develop a study tour or short course to be taught at Swinburne or at your organisation. These programs will be tailored to suit your particular requirements and could include a combination of English language plus specialised content or content from one of the areas illustrated.
