Swinburne University of Technology Admission 2027: Deadlines, Requirements, Fees for International Students

Admission at a glance

Swinburne University of Technology admits international undergraduate applicants directly, either through its online application portal or through an approved education agent, once they have completed a recognised secondary education qualification and meet the university's English language requirement. The general direct-entry benchmark is IELTS Academic 6.0 overall with no band below 6.0; applicants who fall short can enter the Swinburne Foundation Program with a lower IELTS score as a pathway into an undergraduate degree. Swinburne's own course intake pages tell applicants to submit their application in time to be ready for the relevant start date rather than pointing to one fixed closing date, and the university's key timetable dates pages do not list a separate international application cut-off distinct from the semester start; the practical effect is that applications are processed on an ongoing basis ahead of each intake, with international offer processing and visa lead time meaning earlier application is strongly advised. Tuition is published per course in Swinburne's International Undergraduate Course Fees document for the relevant commencing year; the 2027 schedule lists fees from AUD 23,800 a year up to AUD 48,300 a year across its published bachelor's degrees, with arts, business, science and engineering each set at their own rate within that range. Semester 1 2027 begins 1 March 2027 and Semester 2 2027 begins 2 August 2027.
