Course recommendations
terrible experience, course structure is out dated at best. i completed my 3 year degree and 2 year diploma without 1 single book! what can you learn from general information off the teachers head, nothings accurate and by the book.
Swinburne does not meet industry standards by a long shot!
teachers don't care to reply to student emails, until its too late and it doesn't matter anymore.
after my studies no one at my work was happy with my progress, allot of work got sent back for me to redo! nothing i learned from Swinburne is within the industry norms, but thankfully i have a very tolerable and patient boos who was willing to give me a chance to unlearn all the mistakes i was taught by Swinburne!
