Mature Age Students and Non-School Leavers:
Learning to learn, again!

If you are thinking about tertiary study and are not currently studying Year 12, you are considered a non-school leaver or Non-Year 12 applicant.

Maybe you are pursuing a new career path, returning to study after a break or currently studying at another education institution. Whatever your reason is for returning to study – you are not alone! In fact, 46 per cent of our undergraduate university students and a large percentage of our TAFE students are non-school leavers.

No matter what your level of education may be or what life experience you possess, Swinburne is bound to have a course that is right for you.
