A message from the Director of Undergraduate Programs

Dr Elizabeth Levin

Dear Students

Welcome and thank you for choosing to study with us at the Faculty of Business and Enterprise. This is one of the most exciting and challenging times of your life. Many of you will have left behind the comfort of school or TAFE to transition to university. At university you will need to be independent and resourceful to succeed, but university is more than just what happens in the classroom. To maximise your potential, I encourage you to become actively involved in everything that university life has to offer.

I particularly encourage you to find out more about the wide array of options and possibilities that are offered as part of your degree. For example, Industry Based Learning (IBL), International study opportunities, Peer Assisted Student Support (PASS), and Academic Personal Best (APB). There are also grants and scholarship schemes to help you along the way.

Swinburne staff are here to offer you a rewarding, challenging and valuable degree. Explore the options, share your successes and let us know how we can assist you. Our Student Support team has the answers to all your questions, so please do not hesitate to ask.

Wishing you all the best for your undergraduate studies and looking forward to watching you graduate as career-ready professionals.

Liz Levin

Welcome from a fellow student

Webber Shih, Student Ambassador
