People who have done a diploma and gone on to the bachelor's, how did you find the difficulty or load? Specifically business if anyone has experience there. Thanks

does anyone know a fix to this?

How do the people who lives in the residences on campus get mail?

I asked this before but I have Question do you have to do pre enrollment while doing a tafe course if you just completed year 12 because my application which is correct and still gets rescinded I tried to ask the Swinburne staff but haven’t got a clear answer from them as VTAC says to do it but when I do it’s gets rescinded

I am currently studying Business in Swinburne Vietnam and coming for one semester exchange to Swinburne Australia. Can anyone recommend for me any special for best unit of Business major in AU. I am currently has 137.5 credit points

Hey everybody, I am currently doing the diploma of justice on campus. While I’m enjoying the course I have found that it’s not exactly something that I would like to continue further and I’m interested in switching to another diploma by the start of next year. My question is what’s the process like from personal experience? Has anyone that’s gone thru the motions care to share?

Hey y’all, I know this is such a random place to post this but I’ve emailed both my convener & tutor twice in the last 10 days and got no response, and Google provides mixed answers to I came here to see if anyone from Swinburne has knowledge on the uni standards

Basically- do tables contribute to total word count? I’ve made a table in Canva and saved it as a JPEG, then put it in my assignment, so when I check the word count, it doesn’t contribute overall in the document. However, I’m unsure if I’m expected to like count the words within the image and contribute them to the overall word count? Does anyone know the standard for this? There’s pretty severe penalties for going above the 10% leniency for the word count, but the assignment is due tomorrow at midnight & I haven’t heard back from any teaching staff and I’m starting to panic because I don’t wanna lose marks over something like a word count 😩

I hope my explanation makes sense but if not lemme know !!

TLDR: do words in a JPEG table contribute to overall word count in assignments?

Like go to other 3 levels!!!

Hey guys, I’m looking for advice on the best on-campus apartment locations for first year in engineering next year. I’ve heard the SPW and SPS buildings are good since they have events, and I’m not considering college dorms right now. Also, are there any advantages or disadvantages to staying with 2 people vs 3? Thanks!

Hiya, bach of science student here. Majoring in Enviro so maths isn't super important to my degree, I just want to pass with decent grades and not sure which subject to choose.

For context, I came into this degree without doing maths methods (I completed a diploma of health science which granted automatic entry to the BSc) and was given an exemption from Prelimary Maths because I had already done intro to statistics. So my maths knowledge is statistics, into to physics and into to chemistry so my algebra is pretty solid, whereas I don't have any idea about any other maths topics. For this reason, the subject matter of essential sounds really daunting and confusing. I have heard people say that Linear Algebra is harder and I have heard the opposite, so just looking for opinions from anyone who has done those subjects.

TL; DR if I prefer algebra in general should I do linear or should I stick with essential?

Okay so basically this is my last semester and there’s a graduation ceremony in December. Does anyone know if I’ll be able to make it for the December ceremony or if I will have to wait until the next one in April?

It says online it takes 5 weeks for everything to be sorted for graduation and my last exam is on 12th nov which is 4 weeks before graduation

Hey everyone, I’m a Year 12 student trying to find a library that stays open late so I can study for my exams. I noticed the Swinburne Hawthorn library (not the StudyLab) is open until midnight, but I’m not sure if I’d be able to access it as a non-uni student. I really don’t want to take up spots that uni students might need for their own exam prep, but all the libraries near me close at like 5pm :((

Does anyone know if I’d be allowed in, or if there are any other late-night study spots around Melbourne that are open to high school students? Thanks! <333

Does anyone know when the EN building opens in the morning? Or does it stay open?

Hey ive notice recently theres alot of students with group of 2people or more keep talking and chatting for the whole time they are at the library. It kinda annoyed since they can just stay at the other 3 levels where talking is not prohibited. (I hope the uni could put a bigger sign of silent study area).

Btw just wanna ask for places where it is silent for the study other than the library

Hey Reddit,

I’m in a really tough spot and need advice. I booked a DiDi delivery to send my friend’s house keys, and while the delivery shows as "completed," the driver never dropped the keys off. When I tried contacting him, he blocked my number!

The driver's name is Naveed, and he drives a silver Toyota with the registration number 1PW3HZ. I’ve contacted DiDi support, but so far, no luck. I’m starting to panic because these are important keys, and now my friend is locked out.

Has anyone experienced anything like this before? Any advice on how to track him down or deal with this situation? I'm thinking of reporting it to the police, but I’d appreciate any tips or suggestions.

Thanks in advance for your help! 🙏

As a year 12 student do I still have to do the pre enrollment steps, I tried once but I was told my application was taken down because i can only apply through VTAC but I got a email saying I needed to do the pre enrollment steps for my tafe at swinburne and i am not getting any emails back from Swinburne support, what do I do?

I am an international student who is considering to enroll in June 2025. I had chosen Finance as my major and I am wondering if anyone else chose this major? And is there anything I need to know about it? Is it good?

I'm currently studying at BA at Swinburne and a Dip Library and Information at Queensland TAFE online and I'm looking to transfer to Swinny. I'm just looking for experiences from people who have studied a Dip of Library at Swinburne either on-campus or online. Specifically I'm wondering about assessment structures, work-life balance and how the commitment to on-campus study works. Any info is greatly appreciated even if from other TAFE courses too. TIA

Hello I'm an international student doing my bachelor's in mechanical engineering at swinburne melbourne. My 1st year 1st semester is about to end and I was thinking about moving to Sydney because I have relatives there and wanted to know what is the process? Do I need a release letter? I'm really unexperienced in this so I would appreciate the help. Also it would also help if anyone had any recommendations for good engineering universities in Sydney that accept transfers from swinburne.

hi guys, i have an end of semester test coming up for a class that allows a hard copy page of notes for the test. i havent heard back from my tutor in 5 days so i thought id come here to ask if there is any explicit do's/don'ts for the revision note sheet?

is there any swinburne guidelines i need to follow? there is nothing on the assignment tab so i am quite lost. im mainly concerned about font size, if we have to have a certain font size or what we aren't allowed to have on the sheet.

thanks in advance

Hi everyone, I just have a few questions about your experiences in related courses as I make decisions about my VTAC preferences.

I'm hoping to persue a career in the field of advertising (probably more around the creative side). From what I've so far explored, the courses that appear to be best are:

• Bachelor of Professional Communication @ RMIT - 3 years
• Bachelor of Media and Communication (Professional) @ Swinburne - 4 years

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience in either of these courses (or an equivalent at another uni), and also how the unis themselves compare (student support, facilities, social life, people)?

RMIT seems to get a better wrap (#1 in Aus, #5 in world for advertising by QS rankings) and is in a good (although expensive) location. However I will not know anybody there, hence the importance of social aspects. They say you can take on a placement, but I'm not sure if that fits into the course or whether it is an additional thing.

Swinburne on paper doesn't seem bad either. The "Professional" aspect means an additional year, but in a mandatory paid internship, which could be valuable? I will also know people there, potentially opening up options for living arrangements.

Hoping somebody can give some insight into this dilemma, that would be amazing :)

Hi, I am an international student that will be joining in february and I need 1 bedroom. I am hygienic so there will be no issue with that. My budget is 800aud monthly which should include all bills. Please message me if you have a place for me to stay at.

So I'm a Swinburne Alumni and I am pursuing a Master's Degree quite a few years after I've completed my Undergrad but, I've put myself in a real pickle where I never contacted my TNE10006 Networks and Switching professor who I really liked and feel like may give me a good recommendation. He was pretty strict but I respected it because he had the knowledge to back it up and I learned a lot from him. So, I was hoping to send him an email but I am terrible with names and just cannot remember his name at all.

If anyone could give the names of the lecturers of that subject I would be grateful.

I took the course back in 2017 for further context if that helps.

Does anyone know if theres a rough estimate of when you find out course application results? I have applied for psychology honours - can't find a time frame online unless I'm missing something obvious!
Thanks :)

What university is better for computer science?

Hi all, I just completed my first TP studying and was doing 2 units. I just logged in to check if grades have been posted yet and realised I submitted the 3rd assignment for unit 1 into unit 2 as well. This is worth 60% of my grade I am so scared to fail. I have emailed the Unit Co-ordinator with the right assignment as soon as I realised but I am very worried now, please tell me what else can I do?

Just wondering if anyone is participating in the study abroad program in the Philippines ?

I will be studying a Bachelor of Computer Science next year and have a few questions, some related to the course and some unrelated or not as heavily related.

1. Language electives. Does Swinburne offer electives for foreign languages? I'm aware it's not as beneficial as taking an elective that is related to my course and am still considering whether to do one or not. Also if possible which languages specifically? The website doesn't give me much information about this, gives me a list of recommended electives but says that other electives I'll just have to wait and see which I'm not a fan of.

2. International work placement in Germany and Malaysia. On the Swinburne website there are pages for work placement in said countries, 12 months and 6 months respectively. However, the site also features due dates for applications in 2023, which leads to an important question, is this program still running every year? or was this just a one-time thing for 2024? For the record I'm aware that if it is available I will not be able to do it for a few years until my professional work placement year if I do it.

3. Double Degree in Engineering & Computer Science. I would like to study Engineering and Computer Science, but I am worried about the work load, is anyone aware of how much work I will be required to do? I'm aware there is the course guides but those don't give me an exact idea + I don't have all that much time to thoroughly look through it all with exams.

4. Accommodation scholarships. to study next year I will need accommodation, I live in a regional town (r2) with no train station and no Ps, which makes study difficult as I need to not only drive all the way to another town/city but also schedule with family to see if I can be driven with no guarantee that I can. What are the chances of receiving a VTAC scholarship with my current circumstances? If relevant (I hope so) I also have ASD and ADHD, further impacting my ability to travel as I struggle with organisation and waking up on time among other things.

Thank you!
