Welcome to the Global Citizenship Education Program at Swinburne Vietnam – where your journey toward becoming a global citizen begins.
This is a core component of the official academic curriculum at Swinburne Vietnam.

MISSION

Students are equipped with English language proficiency that meets Swinburne’s entry requirements for specialized programs, along with essential global citizenship competencies to effectively study, work, and integrate into international environments.

OBJECTIVES

  • To enhance students’ practical English proficiency (Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing) to meet the entry requirements of Swinburne’s TOP 300 globally ranked university programs.
  • To provide comprehensive training in English proficiency test skills, ensuring that 100% of students who complete Level EGC6 are fully prepared to take the required English certification exams.
  • To strengthen cognitive and critical thinking abilities, thereby improving language acquisition efficiency and fostering an international learning environment aligned with the holistic development of global citizens.

PROGRAM CONTENT

The program is structured into two distinct pathways, tailored to different groups of students:

  • English for Global Citizens (EGC):
    Designed for students who need to improve their English proficiency to meet the entry requirements for Swinburne’s specialized programs. Upon completion, students will satisfy the English language requirements and gain essential global citizenship skills that enhance language learning effectiveness and prepare them for academic study.
  • Global Citizenship Skills (GCS):
    Intended for students who have already met the English entry requirements. This pathway focuses on developing global citizenship skills that serve as a foundation for studying, working, and thriving in international environments.
