The Guaranteed Edge: Building a Résumé While You Study
Swinburne University of Technology is on a mission to “ditch tradition in favor of disruption”. In a job
market where graduates often lack practical experience, Swinburne has made a bold promise:
guaranteed real industry experience for all bachelor degrees. This “next gen” approach to education
ensures that students graduate as the talent employers are already looking for.
The Adobe Creative Advantage
Swinburne was the first university in Australia where students
received free access to the entire Adobe Creative Cloud. With over 20 apps available for personal
and academic use, every Swinburne student—from nursing to engineering—graduates with a level
of digital literacy that sets them apart from their peers.
World-Class Industry Facilities
The university’s Hawthorn campus is home to unique facilities
like the “Factory of the Future,” which uses Industry 4.0 thinking to manufacture prototypes. They
also host Australia’s fastest brain imaging system in their Neuroimaging Lab. These “living
laboratories” allow students to work with industrial robots and cutting-edge supercomputers.
Dual-Sector Flexibility
As both a university and a TAFE, Swinburne offers everything from
apprenticeships to PhDs. This provides a seamless pathway for students to “supercharge” their
studies by switching between vocational and higher education models as their career goals evolve.
Takeaway
In an era of disruption, why settle for a piece of paper when you can get a “next gen”
degree that comes with a built-in résumé?
