Transition back to study

Returning to study can be a daunting transition for some students. You may experience doubts about your decision, wonder how you will juggle a home, school and work combination, or perhaps it's simply been a while since you hit the books?

You're not alone!

Whatever your concerns may be, we guarantee you will not be alone! Having reasonable expectations and embracing changes as well as feeling prepared, organised and focused will help you make a smooth transition back to study and help ensure you get the most out of your time at Swinburne.

Where can I go for support?

If you’re concerned about how you will cope or where you should turn if you are not coping, there are extensive support services available, including free career counselling, resume and employment help, financial services and even time management advice.
