Cover Design
This cover is the design of Jane Christensen and Paul
Magee, Graphic Design students from The Swinburne
Design Centre. The cover reflects their thoughts on
beginning a career at Swinburne University:
You enter a building, one you've never seen before. Cold,
foreign and unknown. Uncertainty and trepidation
consume the air.
You press the button. The glowing light, reassuring and
warm lets you know your direction. You know you're on
your way.
There's only one way to go and that's up.
These thoughts are realised in Swinburne's high graduate
employment rates. Swinburne graduates have enjoyed one
of the highest graduate employment rates in Australia over
the past three years.
The Higher Education Handbook is published each year.
Students should carefully read all official correspondence,
the student newspaper 'The Swine', and University
noticeboards to be aware of changes to this information.
