Student Council<br />
The <strong>Swinburne</strong> Sarawak Student<br />
Council helps new students adjust to<br />
university life through its orientation<br />
programs and other annual activities.<br />
These activities are a great way to<br />
make new friends and see what<br />
Sarawak has to <strong>of</strong>fer. Every<br />
<strong>Swinburne</strong> Sarawak student<br />
becomes a member <strong>of</strong> the student<br />
council automatically.<br />
Student clubs<br />
Joining a club gives you the<br />
opportunity to make new friends. As<br />
close networks are made, club<br />
members become excellent sources<br />
<strong>of</strong> support and information. This is<br />
particularly true when you first arrive.<br />
<strong>Swinburne</strong> Sarawak has a wide<br />
range <strong>of</strong> clubs and our special<br />
interest clubs <strong>of</strong>fer many indoor and<br />
outdoor extra-curricular activities.<br />
They have regular social activities,<br />
cultural nights and sporting events.<br />
Some <strong>of</strong> these clubs include<br />
Rotaract, Explorers, Football,<br />
Badminton, Taekwondo, DanceSport,<br />
Debaters’, Photomedia and Design,<br />
Robotics and Automation, and many<br />
more. You are sure to find a group<br />
where you’ll feel right at home.<br />
Many <strong>of</strong> these clubs were started by<br />
students. You can set up a club<br />
yourself subject to meeting the<br />
appropriate criteria.<br />
International student<br />
activities<br />
There is so much more to studying in<br />
Malaysia than just being in the<br />
classroom, which is why <strong>Swinburne</strong><br />
Sarawak organises affordable day<br />
trips and activities for all our<br />
international students.<br />
The activities, such as the<br />
International Cultural Night, Sunset<br />
River Cruise, and Kuching City Tour,<br />
are organised by the university’s<br />
Student Operations Department.<br />
The <strong>Swinburne</strong> Sarawak Student<br />
Council, in collaboration with staff <strong>of</strong><br />
the university, organises orientation<br />
and day trips for new students.<br />

The location <strong>of</strong> the university<br />
is great and everything is<br />
easily accessible. A new<br />
shopping mall nearby makes<br />
it much more convenient for<br />
students. The variety <strong>of</strong> food,<br />
places to hang out with<br />
friends makes student life<br />
really enjoyable.<br />
Another good thing about<br />
<strong>Swinburne</strong> Sarawak is the<br />
many extra-curricular<br />
activities available. I am a<br />
member <strong>of</strong> the Anime and<br />
Manga Club, Japanese<br />
language club and also the<br />
basketball club.”<br />
