The Swinburne Foundation Studies (Engineering/Science) course equips students for further studies across a range of science and engineering-related areas including engineering, biotechnology, and telecommunication and network engineering. It will allow you to develop fundamental communication, IT and mathematics skills and to select foundation-studies streams in areas such as physics, chemistry, engineering, mathematics and computer programming.
Course structure
The course provides students with a strong foundation of necessary academic and communication skills, knowledge and technical skills in the Engineering/Science stream. It serves as a pathway to direct entry to the Sarawak campus and to specific undergraduate courses at the Australian campuses.
Pathways
The Swinburne Foundation Studies, through the delivery of the Engineering/Science major is a pathway for students to enter the relevant degree courses in Sarawak or Australia. Students who complete the Foundation program and meet Swinburne Melbourne’s faculty entry requirements may apply for entry to those faculties.
Students are highly recommended to complete Programming to articulate to Computing Degrees (Bachelor of Information and Communication Technology and Bachelor of Computer Science)
Students must complete Engineering Maths B and Physics to articulate to the following Degree:
Career opportunities
With further studies, graduates may be equipped for careers in areas such as engineering, biotechnology, computer systems design, management, manufacturing, medicine, mining, network administration, telecommunications and transport.
Key Information due to COVID-19: Swinburne will continue with its fully online learning for our students. Online learning and assessments continues to be the primary mode of delivery for the majority of the learning activities.
