STRONG INDUSTRY CONNECTIONS

“I’ve known since I was young that I wanted to be a professional pilot. Swinburne provided me the opportunity to complete two degrees and all my fl ight training in four years – other courses in Australia and overseas didn’t offer the same level of specialisation.

I chose Swinburne in part due to its strong industry connections that provide specialised courses relevant to actual issues that I will be seeing after I graduate. I also enjoy Swinburne’s widespread international diversity.”

HOMESTAY

Homestay means living with a local family or resident. It is a good environment for learning English and experiencing the Australian lifestyle. It is also an inexpensive option for short-term accommodation while other longer-term accommodation is arranged. Full homestay includes three meals per day, a furnished bedroom, and electricity, gas and water. Students generally prepare their own breakfast and lunch from ingredients provided by the host. Hot dinners are prepared by the host. The cost in 2006 is A$180–$220 per week depending on the quality of accommodation.

www.international.swinburne.edu/homestay

PRIVATE RENTAL & SHARE ACCOMMODATION

The most popular and affordable accommodation option is to share a two or three room rental house or apartment with other students. You can’t pre-book share accommodation, so we recommend that you choose another accommodation option for when you fi rst arrive and then consider moving after a few months settling in. Once you have your Swinburne student number, share

accommodation listings can easily be found on the online Swinburne Student Housing Database: http://swinaccomm.visualeyes.net.au/

In 2006, the average cost of share accommodation is $100 per week for a room plus utilities (gas, electricity and water), which are approximately $15 per week.

You can also choose to establish your own household in a privately rented fl at or house. Swinburne International can provide you with advice on location, and a reference letter confi rming your enrolment at Swinburne. Remember that setting up your own fl at or house will also mean furnishing it, so you’ll need to budget for that.

www.international.swinburne.edu/renting

You will require an approximate minimum of A$13,000 per year for ongoing living costs (not including tuition fees or airfares).

All costs are indicative only.

For further information on bringing your family to Melbourne, please see page 54.

MY ADVICE: CHOOSE MELBOURNE!

Studying in Melbourne is a great experience and I enjoyed the different education system at Swinburne. Outside of class I spent my time playing sports, socialising at house parties and clubs and also surfi ng at beaches along the Great Ocean Road. My advice for future students is to choose Melbourne. You will fi nd everything you need, want and dream about in Melbourne. Go for it!

I want to improve my English in order to study a Master degree in IT at Swinburne. I’m enjoying ELICOS because I have many international friends to share experiences with, and all of the teachers are very kind and lovely.

If you want to have a great experience in your life, make a lot of fantastic friends from other countries and also improve your knowledge and skills, Swinburne is a wonderful choice for you.

SPACE TO EXPRESS YOURSELF

I chose Swinburne because it offered me an interesting Bachelor of

Arts program, as well as a great location. 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.

If this is your fi rst application for a student visa and you are from an Assessment Level Three, Four or Five country, you must provide a favourable Pre-Visa Assessment (PVA) letter before SI can issue your eCoE.

If you are offered two or more courses at Swinburne, and eCoE will be generated for each offer you accept. All eCoEs must be provided to the Department of Immigration Multicultural Affairs (DIMA) or the Australian Diplomatic Mission where you apply for your student visa.

Students from some countries may be eligible to apply for an e-visa. Check the DIMA website for details and to confi rm your Assessment Level.

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

If you have children between 5 and 15 years old, and are bringing them to Australia, you must enrol them in school. Full fees are payable at both government and non-government schools. However, dependants of Swinburne’s postgraduate research students will receive full exemption from tuition fees in Victorian government primary and secondary schools.

For a complete listing of Victorian primary and secondary schools:www.eduweb.vic.gov.au/SchoolsOnline

Costs, application and enrolment information for government, primary and secondary schools may be found at: www.study.vic.gov.au

Applications to non-government schools must be made directly to the school of your choice.

Please note that your student visa assessment criteria may change if your family is accompanying you.

OVERSEAS STUDENT HEALTH

COVER (OSHC)

It is compulsory for all studentvisa 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.
