Your community

Swinburne Sarawak is located in Kuching, capital city of the state of Sarawak.

Regarded as among one of the most liveable cities in Southeast Asia, it is home to over 700,000 people. One thing most visitors noticed about the city is its greenery and clean environment. This is not surprising as it is modelled as a garden city.

Getting around is easy as most places of interest are close to each other - some are within walking distance of one another. Public transport such as taxis is easily available and can be found throughout the city.

There are many places for shopping, dining and entertainment. For instance, one of the largest shopping malls in the city is within 10 minutes’ walk from the campus, and is a popular haunt among students.

There is a good choice of coffee bars, restaurants and cafés serving local as well as Western and other Asian cuisine. Cineplexes show the latest Hollywood hits while lounge bars are common place.

About an hour from the city are attractive beaches with hotels and resorts offering packages from five-star to those that meet the needs of the budget traveller. A number of national parks are also within easy reach of the city, making day trips possible.

Exploring Malaysia

Malaysia is a multicultural country of about 29 million people. It is a melting pot of colourful cultures and is made up of a good mix of Malays, Chinese, Indians and other ethnic and indigenous groups. While Malay is the national language, English is widely spoken.

With well-established infrastructure for banking, communication, healthcare and transportation, it is one of the more developed countries in Southeast Asia.

Well linked to the rest of the world, the country is geographically divided into Peninsular Malaysia, located on the Malay Peninsula, and Sabah and Sarawak on the island of Borneo.

The culinary scene is varied and colourful as its diverse cultures. You’ll find cafes and restaurants aplenty, and are affordable too.

As the weather is hot and humid most of the year, relaxed and comfortable clothing is recommended. However, from around November to March, the monsoon brings much rain to the country and is commonly known as the ‘wet season’.

We believe an undergraduate education must be about more than knowledge. In today’s competitive job market, it must be about true job readiness.

It’s your chance to work on real industry projects, solve day-to-day challenges in your field and gain the professional skills that put knowledge into practice.

Degrees

Our standard three-year degrees comprise of 24 units of study.

Most of these units will focus on your primary area of study, which becomes what is known as your ‘major’. A major allows you to deepen your knowledge in a particular area and sharpen your career focus.

You’ll also undertake a minor which is a set of subjects (shorter than a major) studied throughout a degree. The number of subjects in a minor may vary between courses. Studying a minor will allow you to expand your career options by adding another area of expertise. You can also add depth to your qualifications by studying units related to your major.

The remaining units that make up your degree are called elective units, which you can use to explore related or non-related areas of interest. These units add breadth to your knowledge and experience through another major or study of a minor. Please note that some four-year degree may not offer the same flexibility.

Flexible course structure

Our flexible course structure allows you to add depth and breadth to your degree, by letting you choose from an extensive range of subjects from different disciplines.

As an example, our Bachelor of Business offers a combination of 21 business majors and 90 combinations of majors and minors. This gives you a unique combination of majors and minors to choose from.

Honours

At Swinburne Sarawak, our Engineering degrees have an integrated honours year. An honours year allows you to deepen your understanding in your major field and develop your research skills.

Modes of study

You will have the opportunity to participate in various types of study depending on your chosen course. These may include lectures, workshops, tutorials, laboratory sessions, group work, cross-discipline projects, case studies, practical sessions, discussion groups and individual research projects.
