Will my degree have any value in the real world?

Monday, August 16th, 2010


Your success in the real world depends on how well prepared you are for it. Whiteboards and textbooks can only take you so far. At Swinburne, our courses and subjects are created with the help of industries, so the knowledge and teachings are up-to-date and 100% relevant. Industry Based Learning (IBL) gives Swinburne university students the option to work in their chosen field between second and third year of study. Not only will you get paid to work, you’ll gain valuable knowledge and real-world experience that no lecture hall can provide. Likewise for TAFE at Swinburne, students learn in real work-place environments while on vocational placements. It’s education you can’t get from a classroom.
