    UniLink Bridging Program

    About

    Overview

    The UniLink Bridging Program is a way to meet the entry requirements to study a UniLink diploma at Swinburne. It builds knowledge in business, design, engineering or science and the confidence to communicate at a tertiary education level in Australia.

    The program is an alternative for international students who:

    • have completed a qualification equivalent to Australian Year 12, but do not meet the entry requirements for a UniLink diploma
    • would like to transfer from another Australian education provider to a UniLink diploma, but do not meet the entry requirements
    • do not have the prerequisite subjects for design, engineering or science courses


    With smaller class sizes, you will receive additional support from teachers to help develop your confidence and ability to communicate in a university setting.

    Check the UniLink Bridging Program course handbook
