A Future-Focused University

The 2013 Academic Ranking of Work Universities placed Swinburne among the top 400 universities worldwide, and in the top three in Melbourne. In the 2013 Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) assessment, Swinburne was once again awarded an ERA 5 rating well above world standard for Astronomical and Space Sciences, and was the only university in Victoria to receive an ERA 5 rating for Physical Sciences. Swinburne was also the only university in Australia to achieve an ERA 5 rating for Maritime Engineering, through the work of Swinburne's Centre for Ocean Engineering, Science and Technology.
