Your Deakin home

Deakin has four welcoming and engaging campuses located in south-east Australia, as well as our innovative Cloud Campus (online). Each campus offers a unique study experience, and Deakin’s local communities are friendly, safe and lively, making for a perfect study environment.

Melbourne Burwood CampusThe Melbourne Burwood Campus is Deakin’s largest. It is located a short trip from Melbourne’s central business district, and offers the perfect balance between city lifestyle and suburban comfort. The campus boasts impressive buildings and world-class facilities. Students love the relaxed atmosphere and huge choice of learning and social spaces. The campus sits alongside parkland, which is great for cycling, walking and jogging.

Living in Melbourne

A welcoming communityA multicultural city, Melbourne is an international community that is home to people from all around the world.

Many activitiesEnjoy live music at Federation Square, or ride a bike along the Yarra River trail. Visit the native animals at the Melbourne Zoo, or spend mornings exploring the Queen Victoria Market tasting fresh produce. There is so much to see and do in Melbourne.

Geelong Waurn Ponds CampusDeakin’s Geelong Waurn Ponds Campus is known for its expansive grounds and impressive new buildings. It is home to cutting-edge engineering and medical facilities, as well as some of the world’s most advanced material science research spaces. The campus also offers incredible sporting facilities, including Deakin’s Elite Sport Precinct, which includes an Australian rules football oval, FIFA-grade soccer pitch, athletics track, basketball courts and more.

Geelong Waterfront CampusDeakin’s Geelong Waterfront Campus is located right on Corio Bay in the heart of Geelong, making for spectacular views from its many study spaces. The campus has a modern, industrial feel, mostly due to its history as wool stores in the 19th century. The unique mix of old and new allows for engaging and creative spaces, and its central location means students can visit Geelong’s central business district between classes.

Living in Geelong

Be by the seaLocated a short train trip from Melbourne, Geelong is a coastal city located near some of the country’s best surf beaches. You can head to the surf coast, where students take a break from their studies to enjoy a swim or surf.

Support the local teamCheck out the GMHBA Stadium football oval where the Geelong Cats – an Australian league football team and partner of Deakin – play their exciting games. You might even become a fan!

Living in Warrnambool

Made for exploringSet along one of the country’s most scenic coastlines, Warrnambool is the place to be for exploring Australia’s famously unique plant and animal habitats.

A cost-effective choiceFor students (and parents) concerned about expenses, Warrnambool offers a lower cost of living than Melbourne and Geelong without sacrificing quality.

Warrnambool CampusDeakin’s Warrnambool Campus is close to surf beaches and popular tourist attractions. It is a friendly community: a place where students and lecturers really have the opportunity to get to know each other and work closely together. That sense of community extends to the whole of Warrnambool, providing support to new students in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. But for those looking for an occasional jolt of big city excitement, trains run four times daily to Melbourne.

Cloud CampusAs a flagship provider of distance education for more than 40 years, Deakin has a unique understanding of students who need to study from afar.

The Cloud Campus is a virtual, vibrant campus. It is your one-stop online shop to access lectures and resources, participate in live-stream seminars and class discussions, chat with lecturers and students, and submit assignments. When, where and how you study is up to you.

As a Cloud Campus student, you need to be a disciplined, independent and organised learner. Given your competing commitments, you will also need to know how to manage your time and priorities. That is why our Cloud Campus comes with orientation sessions, tailored support services, innovative but easy-to-use digital tools and resources, and a dedicated ‘student success coach’ to keep you on track.

Why study online?

Same quality educationCloud Campus students receive the same quality education as our on-campus students. Cloud students participate in lectures in real time and can contribute and ask questions like in-class students do. Deakin staff are also available to chat online should you need any assistance outside of class.

Engaging platformDeakin's Cloud Campus is delivered through innovative and engaging systems that allow students to access the same materials and services as on-campus students.

Deakin’s welcome program includes airport pick up, orientation, workshops, social events, study groups and opportunities for you to get involved in campus life.

Students Helping StudentsNo one understands students better than students. That is why student mentors are available to assist you with academic, practical or social matters to help you achieve your best results. This is a part of Deakin’s Students Helping Students service. Many student mentors are international students themselves so they know what it means to be new to Deakin and Australia.

International Student Advisers (ISAs)Friendly ISAs are located on each of Deakin’s campuses. These advisers have lived and studied in other countries and have experienced firsthand the cultural and social adjustments involved. ISAs provide general support to you during your studies and can do so in person, online or over the phone. You can book a private appointment or simply drop-in to the International Student Support Centre on your campus.

Join the clubGetting involved in university life is a great way to meet new people, take on new challenges, and look after your health and fitness. As a Deakin student you can join more than 150 clubs and societies across all campuses. We have a diverse range of clubs, including sporting, academic, health, religious and many more.

Safer Community is a service available for support, advice or information if something just doesn’t feel quite right. SafeZone is a free phone app for all Deakin students and staff, that connects you directly to the security team.

Supportive and inclusive environment

Deakin promotes a diverse, inclusive and supportive environment through a number of services and initiatives. The Disability Resource Centre (DRC) provides individual support to students with a disability or health condition so they can successfully participate in their studies and university life. The ALLY Network creates a more diverse and inclusive culture by promoting greater visibility and awareness of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, intersex, queer or questioning (LGBTIQ) students and staff.

Interns@DeakinThe Interns@Deakin program coordinates a range of internships each trimester within Deakin’s faculties, divisions, research centres, the FreelancingHUB and international offices overseas. With employers expecting graduates to already have work experience, completing an internship during your studies can be extremely important. The skills you learn will help build your resume, and will enable you to provide examples of how you have already applied your studies in a professional setting.

Interns@Deakin is a competitive process and you will need to meet baseline resume standards to progress in the selection process.

FreelancingHUBThe FreelancingHUB is an exciting initiative designed to develop work-ready graduates through work experience opportunities. The HUB positions students in not-for-profit or community organisations where they develop a solution to a real-world project. Students work in cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural teams, and gain key employability skills, such as communication, collaboration, creativity and critical thinking. Each team is assigned an experienced mentor and project manager, and regular client interaction is facilitated to ensure the project stays on track. Internship placements are open to students across all study areas, but places are limited.

Internships as part of your degreeMany Deakin degrees offer the opportunity to complete an internship as part of the program. With the help of your lecturer, you can find a short-term work opportunity in a local organisation to gain exposure to real-life projects. Deakin students have worked in advertising firms, sporting organisations, local hospitals and wildlife parks, just to name a few. The experience gained as part of these internships can help add to your portfolio of work, which you can present to future employers.
