Study Tours
Study tours provide an opportunity for international students to experience Australian life and culture in a safe and friendly environment, and offer a "value for money" package of activities.
 Accommodation Options
Many students prefer homestay as it gives them a wonderful opportunity to experience Australian culture and to practise their English. We can arrange homestay for Study Tour students. Students have their own room and are treated as part of the 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.
