It’s time to start your application to your allocated host university.

We have nominated you to your host university, and they will be expecting your application soon.

You will receive an email from Swinburne Abroad or directly from your host university with detailed instructions on how to complete your host university application and a list of the required documents.

Note: Instructions are typically sent closer to the application deadline, usually between one month and two weeks prior. If you do not receive instructions within 2 weeks before the deadline, please feel free to reach out to us.

Once you receive these instructions, please follow the links provided and read all information carefully as you prepare your application.


*IMPORTANT - READ THIS INFORMATION CAREFULLY*

In the application instructions email, you should receive:

• Instructions on how and when to submit your application e.g. online or otherwise.
• A list of required documents (e.g., academic transcript, passport, portfolio, etc.).
• Possible requests for a personal statement, academic references, proof of finances, and other important information.
• Instructions on whether to nominate units/classes, which may be finalised later, even after your arrival on campus.
• International students: Depending on your host country, you may need to fulfill additional requirements set by the host university, such as providing an apostilled transcript.

• If you need a copy of your academic transcript, please email Swinburne Abroad, and we will provide an official copy at no cost to you.
• For proof of English proficiency when submitting your application, if required:
  • Domestic students: Upload a copy of your passport to show that you are from an English-speaking country.
  • International students: Upload a copy of your transcript to demonstrate that you are studying in an English-speaking country. However, note that some universities may require you to have official evidence of English language proficiency.
• HEALTH INSURANCE: All Swinburne students are covered under Swinburne's travel and medical policy during their overseas program. If your host university requires proof of health insurance, please let us know, and we can provide the necessary documentation.
  However, be aware that some universities and countries may require you to purchase their specific health insurance policy.

• If you have any questions about the application process, please contact our team first. We’re here to assist you with any queries you may have.
  

What happens after that?

After you submit your application, the host university’s Admissions team will need a time to assess it. Keep in mind that they are reviewing applications from many students, and some universities may not assess applications until after the application deadline- so processing times can vary.

Since universities have different processes and waiting periods, it may take anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks, or longer than a month, to receive a decision. Therefore, we recommend starting your application as soon as you receive the instructions to ensure you have ample time to gather all required documents and meet the application deadline, as to not delay the process.

Once you have submitted your application, please confirm your submission via your Student Portal Tasks.
