Kuching / Sarawak / Malaysia

Study at
Swinburne Sarawak.

The Sarawak course. The Sarawak fee. Start with the rules for this campus in Kuching, not a Melbourne price or a generic Australian entry score.

01 / Know the billing period

Annual and total
are different numbers.

Swinburne Sarawak's central 2027 fee schedule labels undergraduate tuition as annual and foundation tuition as total. These are selected international rates, not the full cost of attendance.

Annual undergraduate tuition

Computer Science

RM 43,400about Rs 10.18 lakh, SST extra where applicable

2027 indicative international rate. Confirm the exact course, intake and invoice.

Annual undergraduate tuition

Bachelor of Business

RM 37,800about Rs 8.87 lakh, SST extra where applicable

2027 indicative international rate. Confirm the exact course, intake and invoice.

Total foundation tuition

Foundation studies

RM 29,920about Rs 7.02 lakh, SST extra where applicable

2027 indicative international rate. Confirm the exact course, intake and invoice.

Annual undergraduate tuition

Engineering (Civil)

RM 55,120about Rs 12.93 lakh, SST extra where applicable

2027 indicative international rate. Confirm the exact course, intake and invoice.

Fees are subject to annual review. We do not multiply an annual price into a guaranteed degree total. Housing, living costs and other charges need a separate budget. Indicative INR uses RM 1 = Rs 23.4525, 29 October 2026 close; your payment rate will differ.

Why not use the larger Computer Science display?

The named Computer Science page also displays RM 130,200 (about Rs 30.54 lakh) for international students with a generic annual-study-load note. The central 2027 schedule explicitly says RM 43,400 annual (about Rs 10.18 lakh). Do not assume the larger display is annual or a guaranteed all-in degree total. Get the intake-specific schedule in writing.

02 / Named course example

Computer Science:
more than one entry check.

The academic table lists “Indian and Pakistan Year 12” at 65% across its undergraduate columns. That is a qualification threshold, not an unconditional offer.

Year 12 row

65%

Ask admissions to assess your exact Indian board and qualification.

Maths prerequisite

MA / AM

Mathematics or Advanced Mathematics, at the levels described beside it.

Computer Science mathematics

The table's note requires credit in Mathematics or Advanced Mathematics at A-Level or equivalent, or credit in Advanced Mathematics at O-Level or equivalent. Ask Swinburne to map your Indian-board subjects and marks. This page does not invent an equivalence.

Other courses have different subject prerequisites. English evidence, document checks and the current course offer remain separate.

Read the qualification and prerequisite table

03 / Undergraduate English

Every band counts.

6.0

IELTS Academic overall,
with no individual band below 6.0.

TOEFL iBT

64 overall. Reading 13, Listening 12, Speaking 18 and Writing 21 minimum.

PTE Academic

50 overall with no communicative skill below 50.

Test validity

IELTS, TOEFL, PTE and C1 Advanced normally need to be taken within two years of study commencement.

These are undergraduate requirements. Foundation, diploma and postgraduate routes have their own columns. The school-English alternatives marked not applicable to international students should not be treated as an automatic waiver for Indian applicants.

04 / Plan earlier than the last date

2027 degree intakes.
Two timing rules to reconcile.

The official intake table publishes the dates below for degrees. Confirm that your chosen programme accepts new students in that cycle.

Degree intake 1
1 March 2027
Published international deadline
15 January 2027
Degree intake 2
30 August 2027
Published international deadline
16 July 2027

Do not wait for the later table deadline. The same page says international students must accept their study offer 60 days before the intake for visa purposes. That is earlier than the table dates above. Ask admissions to reconcile both instructions for your course and apply early enough to meet the earlier acceptance rule. Neither date guarantees an offer, student pass or permission to travel.

Foundation has more 2027 intakes
  • 4 January intake: 20 November 2026 international table deadline.
  • 1 March intake: 15 January 2027 deadline.
  • 26 April intake: 12 March 2027 deadline.
  • 21 June intake: 7 May 2027 deadline.
  • 30 August intake: 16 July 2027 deadline.

The 60-day offer-acceptance instruction above still needs checking. Do not substitute local, last-registration or FTES deadlines for international deadlines.

05 / A budget you can rely on

Keep unconfirmed awards
out of the budget.

Swinburne publishes a PVC Academic Excellence Scholarship (Degree) with an India 10+2 row. An award threshold is not an admission rule. Confirm your intake's current terms and award letter before deducting anything from tuition.

No room price is established in this guide. Ask for the residence, occupancy, billing period, deposit, utilities and cancellation terms. Do not transfer an Australian-campus housing price to Kuching.

  1. Match the course to your evidence

    Check your board, subject prerequisites, English evidence, campus and intake together.

  2. Get one complete written cost schedule

    Reconcile annual versus total fees, SST, award conditions, other charges, housing and refunds before paying.

  3. Prepare the international application

    The university lists certified academic documents, translations where required, English test results and a certified passport copy with at least 18 months validity. Follow its current Sarawak student-pass instructions before arranging travel.
