SwinMates - Mentor Program
SwinMates is a Mentor program, which matches Education Abroad students with current Swinburne students. SwinMates pairs two students together so that they can meet, talk, go out and share experiences and cultures. This program enables Education Abroad students to make Australian friends, learn about Melbourne and talk about their home country. The mentors can help arrange trips or activities, give advice on transport systems, local facilities, where to go for help at Uni and simply be a new friend. New Education Abroad students are automatically signed up and allocated a "SwinMate" (this is also an excellent way for students to practice and improve their English and to learn more about the Australian culture).
Education Abroad Activities
There are also SwinMates specific activities organised throughout the year, including a Melbourne discovery tour and a trip to see an Australian football match.
Trip to see Australian Football
Going to see Australian Football or ‘Footy’, as it is affectionately called by locals, is a must for anyone visiting Australia! Experience the thrill and excitement of Australian Football at the famous Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).
Melbourne Discovery Tour
Scattered throughout Melbourne are secrets tucked away in narrow lanes and alleys, behind obscure doors, or at the top or bottom of staircases. Come along and discover some of Melbourne’s best kept treasures! Check out photos of the last Melbourne Discovery Tour on our Semester One 2007 Photo Album.
Yearbook
During your semester abroad you will make so many new friends you will want to keep in touch with forever. To help remind you of your exchange/study abroad experience at Swinburne, the Education Abroad Office produces an Education Abroad Yearbook. The yearbook includes photos of Education Abroad events, unique Australian locations and parties students took part in whilst studying at Swinburne during the semester. Students contribute their own photos throughout the semester. The yearbook is a great way for you to show family and friends back home what your experience at Swinburne was like. The yearbook also contains a contact section with everyone’s details so students can stay in touch after they leave Australia.
Farewell Ceremony
The Education Abroad Office hosts a Farewell Ceremony at the conclusion of each semester to farewell visiting Education Abroad students. Students are awarding a certificate for participating in a Swinburne Education Abroad Program. The evening event is a great opportunity for you to celebrate your time at Swinburne and in Australia. Australian students who are leaving Australia on Education Abroad Programs also attend the ceremony so it is a good opportunity to meet Australian students who will possibility be studying in your home country.
Check out photos of the last Farewell Ceremony on our Semester One 2007 Photo Album.
