Glenferrie Road, on which the Hawthorn campus is located, is a great place to have a coffee or lunch between classes. Plus the campus is only ten minutes by train to the city. The fact that Swinburne’s campuses aren’t too big also contributes to making Swinburne a great place to study: by sharing a campus space with a limited number of students one can feel truly part of it, as well as a unique individual with enough space to express yourself.

You will also need to provide proof of Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) membership for your family.

OVERSEAS STUDENT HEALTH COVER (OSHC) It is compulsory for all student visa holders, and their dependants, to maintain OSHC throughout their course of study. The Australian Department of Health and Aged Care has advised that the following students do not need OSHC: Norwegian students insured under the Norwegian National Insurance Scheme (NIS), and Swedish students with health insurance provided by CSN International (the Swedish National Board of Student Aid). If you have one of these types of insurance, please include evidence with your application. It is a condition of your student visa that you maintain current OSHC for the duration of your visa. If you need to extend your OSHC (eg. you fail some units and need to extend your time here), it is your responsibility to do this directly with the OSHC Provider. We will arrange your OSHC membership with our preferred provider and will include the OSHC payment in your initial deposit indicated in your letter of offer, which you pay when you accept your offer. We strongly recommend that you purchase Program Length Cover. This is a once only payment which provides rate protection for the duration of the cover. This means that even if OSHC premiums increase during the time of your Program Length Cover, you do not have to pay any increase. If you wish to choose this option, Swinburne International can calculate your Program Length Cover premium.
