Swinburne Students on Exchange at Partner Institutions

Ambassadorship Program:

Each semester, selected Swinburne students participate in the Swinburne Abroad Ambassadorship Program whilst on exchange. The program aims to promote and encourage students at our partner institutions to choose Swinburne as their exchange destination.

To fulfill the role as an ambassador for Swinburne, the Swinburne students are required to participate in at least one promotional activity whilst on exchange. Some suggested activities include:

  • Involvement with Study Abroad/Exchange fairs
  • Giving an information session using a PowerPoint presentation about Swinburne
  • Presentations in classes/lectures
  • Mentoring potential exchange students wanting to come to Swinburne

As a participant of the Ambassador Program, the Swinburne students are expected to raise awareness of the exchange program and highlight why students at their host institution should come on exchange to Swinburne. Please utilise Swinburne students that your institution is hosting. Contact Swinburne Abroad for more information.
