Swinburne University of Technology

Swinburne University of Technology exists as a public research university which maintains worldwide recognition while operating main facilities in Melbourne Australia and establishing international campuses in Malaysia and Vietnam. The university which follows its motto Factum per Litteras maintains a strong reputation for its research initiatives in science and technology and its development of new technological innovations. The institution provides students with a complete educational experience which combines vocational training programs and academic degree paths. The main campus of the university operates from the active Hawthorn suburb which lies three kilometers away from Melbourne’s central business district to function as a research center that connects with local industries while promoting social inclusion to create a multicultural educational environment.

The institution traces its beginnings to 1908 when George and Ethel Swinburne established the Eastern Suburbs Technical College to deliver educational opportunities to the surrounding community. The institution received a new name in 1913 when it became Swinburne Technical College to commemorate its founders. The college spent the majority of the 20th century developing new academic programs which included chemistry and engineering and art. The college reached a significant milestone when the Parliament of Victoria declared it a university on July 1 1992. The university has expanded its operations since then by establishing its Sarawak campus in Malaysia during 2000 and achieving higher international rankings until it became one of the top young universities in the world.
