IN THE HEART OF MELBOURNE
Swinburne’s main campus is located just 10 minutes from
the city, in Hawthorn, also known as Melbourne’s unofficial
education precinct. Besides Swinburne, the neighbourhood
is home to Melbourne’s best private schools, including
Scotch College, Strathcona Girls School, Methodist Ladies Melbourne
City Centre By train: 10 min
College and Xavier College. Swinburne
Studying at Swinburne means studying in one of the
world’s most well-regarded cities, famous for its quality
of life. Melbourne has been named Australia’s top
student city - and third best in the world by the 2019 QS
Best Student Cities Ranking. And when you get to know
Yarra Valley
Melbourne, it’s easy to see why. Melbourne
Home to four million people, Melbourne is a thoroughly
international city, a veritable melting pot, with an enviable
array of food, culture, scenery, and sport to be enjoyed.
It’s a smart city of hidden treasures, secret laneways and

TOP THINGS TO DO
SEE NATIVE AUSTRALIAN ANIMALS
Leave the city for Healesville Sanctuary and get face-to-face
with kangaroos, wombats and more. Or drive to Phillip
Island to cuddle koalas or watch fairy penguins make
their way home as the sun sets.
EAT YOUR WAY AROUND THE WORLD
Melbourne loves food, and you’ll love the food in Melbourne.
From authentic French croissants in Fitzroy, to delightful
dumplings in Chinatown, Melbourne has restaurants
and cafés specialising in food from around the world.
Melbourne is a culinary whirlwind that’ll sweep you off
your feet and fill up your belly.
ENJOY THE COFFEE CULTURE
Melbourne’s coffee credentials are recognised and revered
all around the world. Coffee culture is as much a part of
Melbourne as footy or trams. In every suburb, you’ll find
world-class coffee shops serving up some of the best
beans around. Close to our Hawthorn campus, you’ll find
Axil Coffee who brew one of the finest cups in the city.
EXPLORE VICTORIA
Victoria is ripe for exploration, with so many things to see
and do. Head for the Great Ocean Road and see the
world-famous Twelve Apostles. Check out Philip Island,
home to the famous Penguin Parade. See Wilsons
Promontory National Park, famous for its stunning
beaches and unspoilt beauty. Sip on award-winning wine
in one of Yarra Valley’s many wineries, or, when winter
comes, go skiing in the High Country’s snowfields.
LANEWAYS, ARCADES AND STREET ART
Between Melbourne CBD’s sprawling thoroughfares, you’ll
come across many unassuming laneways. Step into one, and
you might stumble across unexpected surprises, from hidden
bars and restaurants, to boutiques and world-class street art.
Melbourne is also famous for its European-inspired arcades
where you’ll find everything from beautiful barbershops, to
chocolatiers, and more. Go forth and explore.
GO TO A RICHMOND FOOTY GAME
Australian Rules Football is an inseparable part of life in
Melbourne. It so happens that Swinburne is partnered with
Richmond Football Club, the 2017 premiership winners!
Once you’ve been to a game, you can proudly call
yourself a local.
