here in malaysia right we are located in kuching's rawa as you can see in the background here all right kuching melbourne or both meaning to say that we have two campuses and you can actually pursue your studies whether you're in kuching or you want to pursue your studies in melbourne or you want to do both it's also possible all right now swinburne we are actually a top ranking university and a bit of introduction about swinburne is that we established ourselves in 19 norway as a technical college and then in 1992 we actually upgraded into a university right and of course in the year of 2000 swinburne uh rawa is established in uh as a part part of the partnership between swinburne australia and the sarawak states government and today it's been 22 years since we are here in malaysia we have actually become one of the top ranking university in the world okay so as you have mentioned as i mentioned earlier we are top ranked university and we are at the top 1.5 percent among the world top university in the world right this is actually according to the qs world rankings 2022 now we are actually located in kuching city all right of course some of you may heard about kuala lumpur right but of course kuching is located about one and a half hours flight away from kuala lumpur right and kuching itself is actually home to one of the uh we have actually was one of the big cities here in malaysia and what is so good about kuching all right it's that the affordable living cost now when you look at the um when you actually want to come to study here in malaysia of course most of you may think about is it going to be expensive right now if you have to compare um you know kuching to kuala lumpur you definitely have a very much more affordable living cost compared to kuala lumpur now these are actually some of the figures that you're looking at i would say that you know you can actually enjoy your lea your your your a very comfortable life here at uh suite at kuching for about thousand four hundred two thousand uh for two thousand ringgit per month right that is about three hundred dollars to all the way to four hundred at the maximum of five hundred dollars per month in order for you to have a very uh i would say a comfortable life here at um kuching okay so this is actually the campus right it is actually 16.5 acre in in size and within the campus itself we have a lot of facilities okay such as multi-purpose hall badminton court we have squash court tennis court we have football field and we also have a 46 dedicated engineering labs for all our students right this is actually for the engineering students now outside the campus itself we also have restaurants cafes hospitals hotels and banks and even mosques just right in front of swinburne uh campus here in kuching we also have a shopping mall which is listed here number six right that you can actually come here and do your shopping all right so it is actually within the the campus surroundings all the amenities are within the campus surroundings and we are located in the kuching city center which is easily accessible for all students all right so rest assured is that you are not uh very you know far from a city so you can actually enjoy best of both worlds you get to explore the city and you get to explore the campus itself now the question comes back why you should choose swinburne sarawak and what is our advantage right now swinburne actually is australian and we are actually an australian education provider here in malaysia so it allows you to obtain an australian degree without needing to go to australia the second thing is we are world ranked university top 1.5 in the world and the third one third reason is without value for money this is because our cost fees are actually one-third of the australian tuition fees right at the same time you're getting the same education same certificate from swinburne australia now we also have a flexibility of international study options for students to choose to exchange or transfer to swinburne australia right which i will highlight later on okay uh furthermore all right uh we are also one of the um we have actually quite a high graduate employability rate about 94 of our graduates can secure a rewarding career within six months of graduation and last but not least we are actually at adobe creative campus one of the only 20 universities in the world to be recognized as this creative campus by adobe alright so this is actually the six swinburne advantages that you can actually get when you come over to swinburne the malaysia campus so we are our graduates are actually hired by top 100 global brands around the world right um these are some of the companies that we are working on are working with all right and then of course our programs are all professionally recognized if you can see some of the familiar logos here like for example australian computer society engineers australia and also the board of engineers of malaysia all right this is some of the professional uh bodies that um actually gotten our recognition in some of our courses right and they recognize our degree programs now at swinburne here we actually have a very diverse global community of more than about 3500 students most of our students uh from international compresses about 20 right from all four from the 45 countries and we also have academics from 13 countries as well right so if you can see this map here these are some of the students actually are coming from right they are coming from um you know all the way from east asia to south asia to middle east and even africa as well we also have students who are from europe uh for our exchange program or study abroad program right mainly from this france germany denmark and norway and sweden as well okay so these are some of the student life bangladeshi students here at swinburne so we have about close of 100 students here in in bangladeshi students here in swinburne all right which is also one of the top five international community here in swinburne uh sarawak and these are some of the student testimonials that i can share we have students from bangladesh is doing a bachelor of computer science we also have students from sri lanka actually doing the engineering robotics and mechatronics we also have students from malaysia right doing business and also we have students from indonesia with residing in zimbabwe um also doing bachelor of science programs all right so these are some of the student testimonials that i can share with you um sorry okay moving on now as i mentioned earlier um all you can see in behind my background here you can see the scooching melbourne or both right so how can you achieve this um [Music] studying in you know in uh studying in malaysia and graduate in australia or yc visa or you want to do an exchange program so we actually give students the international study options um to actually uh for you to transfer to melbourne all right where you can actually start here in malaysia which is the kuching campus and graduate everything in australia which is the melbourne campus right so you can actually do uh if there's a engineering program it's a four years program and you can actually do three plus one two plus two or one plus three right whereas for non-engineering program you can always do two plus one or one plus two so these are the options for students uh if you want to actually assess a little bit more budget uh to go to australia in the future then you can actually consider coming to malaysia here to do it one or two years then after that transfer the remaining of the years to australia and you graduate in australia okay so that is a good one of the options but of course going to australia is gonna cost a lot for some right some may think that you know going to australia is expensive because uh as i mentioned earlier um the fees are actually three times much more expensive compared to swinburne in the malaysia campus so what you can do is you can start study here in the malaysia campus right and then you can offer an exchange for one semester going to swinburne in melbourne campus and the good thing about exchange program is that you get to pay all your tuition fees in ringgit malaysia means to say that you don't have to give and you don't have to pay australian dollars but yet you still can go to australia and get your studies or get your get your studies done there right so uh it is actually a good opportunity for all students all right to actually go for this exchange program right so you have the international study options of transfer and also the exchange program you can actually choose which one you want to go right now um of course at the university here we actually um doing a little bit more upgrades ongoing right now all right uh we have actually upgraded some of our facilities and also our campus in terms of cafeteria accommodations student atrium classrooms and also hangout areas all right the reason why we are doing that is to ensure that you know um swinburne actually continues to provide the high quality australian education which is similar to the our uh main campus in australia so these are some of the images right where we have the accommodation right now is already done all right so um so students can actually move in so the accommodation um on campus circumcision range between 490 ringgit all the way to 1 200 ringgit depending on what type of rooms that you want right all the fees quoted just now as i mentioned are actually a monthly right month on a monthly basis okay so we have the single room with fan a singer with ac um twin sharing with fan and twin sharing with ac okay so that are some of the options that you can consider but of course if you would like to go acquire more about on-campus accommodation do approach educate pathways for more information okay now of course not everyone likes on-campus accommodation if you want to stay off-campus accommodation as well that is also possible right we don't have any rules saying that students have to come to the on-campus so
