Swinburne University for Indian Students: Fees, Entry

Why Indian students choose Swinburne

Swinburne is built around technology and industry: its courses carry professional accreditation, such as the Australian Computer Society for IT, data and cyber security, and its campus at Hawthorn sits in a leafy inner suburb on the Glen Waverley line. Indian students come mostly for IT, data science, engineering and business master's priced a little below RMIT for several subjects and well below Monash and Melbourne. Swinburne also runs one of Australia's few aviation degrees with pilot training.
