Melbourne is the capital of the south-eastern Australian state of Victoria.  It is a vibrant, cosmopolitan city possessing magnificent architecture, glorious parks and gardens, elegant streetscapes and warm ethnic communities.  These elements combine to make the city one of Australia’s most popular study destinations for students from across the world.

Swinburne has five campuses in Melbourne, and an international campus in Sarawak, Malaysia. The majority of Swinburne’s international students study at the Hawthorn, Lilydale and Prahran campuses.

Hawthorn campus:
Just 15 minutes on the train from the centre of Melbourne, Hawthorn is Swinburne’s main campus and is located in one of the city's most desirable suburbs.  Set amongst the cafes, boutiques and bookshops of Glenferrie Road, and with the convenience of a supermarket and railway station practically on campus, it offers an enviable student lifestyle.

There are several on-campus accommodation options available and students can also choose to live nearby and walk to class through the nearby parks and leafy backstreets.  The campus has many specialised facilities and is the hub of the university’s research and development activities.  It is also home to the Swinburne English Language Centre.

Prahran campus:
Home to Swinburne’s prestigious Faculty of Design and the National Institute of Circus Arts, the Prahran campus provides a creative, lively learning environment and is situated within one of Melbourne's most vibrant suburbs.

The campus puts students within easy walking distance of the famous Chapel Street shopping precinct, which is lined with restaurants, night clubs and boutiques stocked with the latest local and international fashions.  The close proximity to the local railway station and tram stops comes in handy whether you are heading into the city centre or to the neighbouring beachside suburb of St Kilda.

Lilydale campus:
The tranquil setting and friendly, supportive atmosphere of the Lilydale campus ensures that international students can enjoy a learning experience that is both relaxed and enriching.

Campus facilities include Student Village accommodation (which overlooks Lilydale Lake), Mitchell’s View training restaurant (for Hospitality students) and a new purpose-built postgraduate research building, which houses the Centre for Regional Development. Support staff at Lilydale run a special host program, giving students the opportunity to make new friends and establish international contacts.

The campus is easily accessible by train and has a shopping centre within walking distance.
