Tuition Fee Regulations

At Swinburne Vietnam, the total tuition fee for the entire course for students commencing in 2024 is 22,000 USD (equivalent to 513,260 million VND). To foster a spirit of educational advancement, Swinburne Vietnam offers special scholarships during the initial 5 years, significantly reducing tuition fees for candidates and their families, enabling access to an international program in Vietnam.

Should students aim to transfer to study at Swinburne University of Technology (Australia) after joining Swinburne Vietnam, they will be required to pay the tuition fee applicable in Australia.

Note: Tuition fees may be subject to yearly changes due to economic fluctuations, capped at a maximum increase of 10%. Any modifications to tuition fees will be promptly announced and updated.
