This program/course guide has been designed to assist you in finding details about the programs available at the Sarawak branch campus that include Diploma, Foundation, Degree, Masters and Doctoral/PhD programs. We offer you a choice of either completing your program locally with us at the Sarawak campus or at one of the campuses in Melbourne, Australia. Since the programs and units of study are the same, if your results meet the requirements you are able to transfer to or from Australia/Malaysia at the end of any term- subject to obtaining the appropriate visa from the relevant government.
The Branch Campus University in Sarawak is a partnership between Swinburne University of Technology in Australia and the State Government of Sarawak, operating through two foundations, Yayasan Sarawak (Sarawak Foundation) and the Sarawak Higher Education Foundation. Currently students from 51 countries as well as from West and East Malaysia study here.
The programs offered at Swinburne are designed to prepare graduates to live and work in a world in which professionals need to be capable of very high levels of proficiency and to be able to act on both a local and an international level. A Swinburne education emphasises the development of the skills graduates need to gain employment with high salaries, or to go out and set up new ventures - new businesses - new companies, and consequently to end up employing others. Please ask our staff if you want further details.

About Kuching
Your community
Swinburne’s Sarawak campus is situated in Kuching. The capital city of the state of Sarawak, Kuching has been described as one of the most liveable and attractive cities in the region.
Home to over 600,000 people, one thing most visitors notice about Kuching is its greenery and clean environment. This is not surprising as it is modelled as a garden city.
Getting around is easy as most places of iinterest are located close to each other. Some are within walking distance of one another. Public transport is easily available. Taxis, only a phone call away, can be found throughout the city.
There are many places for shopping, dining and entertainment. For instance, a large shopping mall is only 10 minutes’ walk from Swinburne Sarawak, and is a popular haunt among students.
There is a good choice of coffee bars, restaurants and cafes serving local as well as Western and other Asian cuisines. Cineplexes show the latest Hollywood hits while lounge bars are common place.
About an hour from the city are attractive beaches with hotels and resorts offering packages from five star to those that meet the needs of the budget traveller. A number of national parks are also within easy reach of the city, making day trips possible.
Exploring Malaysia
Malaysia is a multicultural country of about 28 million people. With well-established infrastructure for banking, communication, transportation and education, it is one of the more developed countries in Southeast Asia.
Well linked to the rest of the world, the country is geographically divided into Peninsular Malaysia, located on the Malay Peninsula, and Sabah and Sarawak on the island of Borneo. Malaysia is a melting pot of colourful cultures and is made up of a good mix of Malays, Chinese, Indians and other ethnic and indigenous groups. While Malay is the national language, English is widely spoken.
The culinary scene is varied and colourful as a result of the diverse cultures. You’ll find Asian and Western cafes and restaurants aplenty. Eating out is widely popular and affordable.
As the weather is hot and humid most of the year relaxed, comfortable clothing is recommended. However from around November to March, the Monsoons bring much rain to the country and is commonly known as the ‘wet season’.

Majors
Most three-year degrees at Swinburne comprise 24 units of study. You undertake the majority of these units in your primary area of study, which becomes your major. Your major allows you to broaden your knowledge in a particular area. For example, if you undertake a Bachelor of Commerce, you can major in accounting and finance, human resource management, international business, marketing or management. Minors
A minor is a set of subjects (shorter than a major) studied throughout a degree. The number of subjects in a minor may vary between programs. Studying a minor will allow you to expand your career options by adding another area of expertise. You can also add depth to your qualification by studying units related to your major. For example, with a Bachelor of Commerce, you could major in management and undertake a minor in marketing, media or psychology.
