A seamless pathway into the second year of a Swinburne University bachelor course.
Swinburne College UniLink diplomas are accredited, award-level higher education qualifications that provide an alternative pathway into the second year of a range of bachelor degrees offered at Swinburne. They’re an alternative pathway – with a next gen difference! The course content is similar to the first year of a bachelor degree but the classroom environment is different. Classes are smaller and you will have more individual attention from your teachers to help you adjust to university. You’ll join our thriving Hawthorn campus community and gain access to all the same Swinburne facilities as your University peers.
A UniLink diploma is a great choice if you:
- Did not get the ATAR needed for your preferred bachelor degree
- Did not complete high school in Australia
- Prefer extra support from your teachers as you learn
