With your support, we can supercharge a new generation of problem-solvers and tech-rich solutions as we invest in individual educational journeys and Swinburne’s cutting-edge research agenda.
Swinburne is a young university with a proudly egalitarian history. Our founding mandate is to provide technical education to a sector of society otherwise denied further education. That same inclusive, empowering spirit guides us today. With a keen eye to the workforce needs of the future and determination to deploy our research strengths in the challenges of now, we bring people and technology together to create a better world.
