The Swinburne University of Technology (or simply Swinburne) is a public research university in Melbourne, Australia. It is the modern descendant of the Eastern Suburbs Technical College established in 1908, renamed Swinburne Technical College in 1913 after its co-founders George and Ethel Swinburne. It has three campuses in metropolitan Melbourne: Hawthorn, where its main campus is located; Wantirna; and Croydon, as well the Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak Campus in the East Malaysian state of Sarawak. It also offers courses online and through its partnered institutions in Australia and overseas.

The university offers study programs in commerce, healthcare, teacher education, law, engineering, aviation, architecture, the performing arts and various other fields including in the arts and sciences. It also offers Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) research programs and courses in vocational education.

History

[edit]
The Old Administration Building (1908)

The university began in 1908 as the community-owned Eastern Suburbs Technical College on John Street, Hawthorn, to provide further education to residents of Melbourne's eastern suburbs.[3] George Swinburne MLA, with the backing of Premier Thomas Bent,[4][5] was the driving force behind its establishment, and its most generous benefactor, hence the name of the university. By 1913, £10,111 had been spent on its establishment, of which £3,718 came from private donations (including £1,000 each from George and Ethel Swinburne), and the remainder from the government.[6] The first director was the sculptor J. R. Tranthim-Fryer, who remained in the position until 1938.

In 1913 the institution was taken over by the State Government, and its name changed to Swinburne Technical College.[a] It later became known as the Swinburne Institute of Technical and Further Education (TAFE), eventually shortened to Swinburne Institute of Technology.

In the late 1980s, the Outer Eastern University Planning Council advocated for a new university to be established in outer eastern Melbourne.[7] The area had the second lowest university participation rate in Melbourne, after the Mornington Peninsula.[8] Partially in response to this advocacy, in 1990 Swinburne established its "Eastern Campus" in Mooroolbark (sometimes described as Lilydale), on the site of the recently closed MDA Grammar School. However, students could not attend until 1992 due to council planning negotiation,[7] and the campus was officially opened on 6 April 1992.[9][10] By 1993, it was known as the "Mooroolbark Campus".

The Dawkins reforms to Australian higher education in the early 1990s led to many tertiary colleges being merged or split-up, and many given university status.

On 1 January 1992, the university was given the Prahran Campus of Victoria College and the co-located Prahran College of TAFE,[11] both of which had evolved from the Prahran Mechanics' Institute (established in 1854).[citation needed] Swinburne attained university status on 1 July 1992 with the passage of the Swinburne University of Technology Act 1992.[12]

Swinburne Technical College (1940s)

In 1997, Swinburne opened a campus at Lilydale, replacing its nearby one at Mooroolbark. In 1998, it merged with the Outer East Institute of TAFE and began operating from campuses at Croydon and Wantirna.[13]

In 1999, Swinburne established the National Institute of Circus Arts (NICA).[14]

In 2000, the university opened a campus in Sarawak, Malaysia, as a partnership between the university and the Sarawak State Government: Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak Campus.[15]

In 2008, it collaborated with two other universities in forming The Centre for Social Impact. In February 2011, the university opened the Advanced Technologies Centre,[16] a 22,000 square metre building of modern architectural design at its Hawthorn campus,[17] known locally as "the cheese grater building".[18]

Following a series of funding cuts announced by the Victorian Government to vocational education in May 2012,[19] Swinburne announced that it would close its Lilydale and Prahran campuses.[20] Lilydale campus officially closed on 1 July 2013,[21] and was taken over by Box Hill Institute in 2016.[22] The university sold its Prahran campus to the Northern Melbourne Institute of TAFE in 2014.[23] The site became the home of NICA,[24] and in 2022 was acquired by the Victorian Government, along with Melbourne Polytechnic on the same site.[25] NICA's degrees have been administered by the university and this will continue until the end of 2025, when they will be transferred to the Australian College of the Arts (Collarts).[26]

In 2015, Swinburne launched its law school.[27] Through a partnership with Leo Cussen Centre for Law, Swinburne Law School is the only law school in Victoria accredited by the Victorian Legal Admissions Board (VLAB) to enable students to accelerate their admission to legal practice by completing their practical legal training during the final year of their studies.[28]

Swinburne Film and Television School

[edit]

The Swinburne Film and Television School, which offered the first tertiary course in filmmaking in the country,[29] was founded in 1966 by filmmaker Brian Clark Robinson (1934–1991).[30][31] Part of what was the Graphic Art School became Film and Television, led by Robinson.[30][32] The first course offered, from 1966, was the Diploma of Art in Film and Television, which was the first such course to be offered in Australia.[33][34][35] In 1967 it was known as the Film and Television course of the School of Art.[36] In 1976, Swinburne formed a department of film and television, with Robinson was appointed its head.[37] Swinburne introduced a Graduate Diploma in Applied Film and Television, offering film, television, and animation courses. This was highly successful, with most of the graduates being employed in the industry afterwards.[33][34] By 1983, the school offered a three-year Diploma in Film an TV, for school-leavers, as well as the graduate diploma, with over 90% of graduates finding employment in the film and television industries.[33][34] In 1987, when Robinson was appointed dean of the faculty of arts at the university, Jennifer Sabine became head of the school, but Robinson continued to teach scriptwriting.[37]

In September 1991 Swinburne Film and Television School celebrated its 25th anniversary.[37] In 1992, the ownership and management of the school was handed over to the Victorian College of the Arts, becoming the VCA Film and Television School.[29][38][39] In 1996, Barbara Paterson published Renegades: Australia's first film school: from Swinburne to VCA,[40] based on her 1993 masters thesis,[41] "Portrait of a film school : the history of the Victorian College of the Arts School of Film and Television, formerly known as Swinburne Film and Television School".[42]

Swinburne Online is the online arm of the university. Swinburne Online was founded in 2011 after a 50-50 joint venture between Swinburne University of Technology and SEEK Learning seeking to capitalise on increasing demand for off-campus education.[125][128]

Swinburne Online was originally created under the name Swinburne Direct, with an initial $10 million investment.[129] It was formed to maximise the Federal Government's decision to lift caps on Commonwealth-supported university places from 2012, a policy which intended to increase the number of 25- to 34-year-olds with bachelor's degrees to 40 per cent by 2025.[125]

Swinburne Online originally provided higher education degrees at both bachelor and masters level. As of April 2015, it offered over twenty courses in business, communication, design, education, and social science.[130] However, as of September 2015, Swinburne Online has begun offering vocational education.[127]

In April 2015, CEO Denice Pitt expressed a public desire to expand internationally to offer degrees to international students.[130]

In 2014 Swinburne Online was ranked fourth in Australia's 100 fastest growing companies.[131] Its earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation grew by 48% to $29.8 million in 2014–15.[127]
