CAMPUSES AND COMMUNITIES

Your Deakin home

Deakin has four engaging campuses located in the Australian State of Victoria, as well as the innovative Cloud Campus (online). Each campus offers a unique study experience and Deakin's local communities are friendly, safe and dynamic, making for a perfect study environment.

MelbourneMelbourne is the multicultural heart of Australia – an international city that is home to people from all around the world.

It is a city built for exploring: Coffee shops, galleries, music and amazing food can be found down every lane in the city centre. There is always something happening in Melbourne, from cultural festivals and world-class arts performances to international sporting events like the Australian Open tennis tournament.

You can enjoy live music and soak up the sun at Federation Square, or ride a bike along the Yarra River. You can visit the native animals at the Melbourne Zoo, or spend mornings exploring the Queen Victoria Market tasting fresh local produce.

Without having to venture too far from Melbourne's central business district you can explore some of Victoria's most scenic locations, and take part in exciting activities. These include:

• The Yarra Valley where you can taste some incredible local produce

• Mornington Peninsula where you can relax at the beach

• The Victorian high country where you will experience exceptional views and even have a try at snow skiing.

Melbourne Burwood CampusThe Melbourne Burwood Campus is Deakin’s largest and has a lively and diverse culture. It is a short trip from Melbourne's central business district.

The campus boasts impressive buildings and world-class facilities, including a professional motion capture lab; dance, drama and television studios; food and nutrition labs; the nursing and midwifery Clinical Simulation Centre; IT gaming facilities; and much more.

Melbourne Burwood students love the relaxed suburban atmosphere and huge choice of learning and social spaces. The campus sits alongside parkland, which is great for cycling, walking and jogging.

World's most liveable cityMelbourne has been named the world's most liveable city for seven years in a row by The Economist Intelligence Unit. Melbourne has a perfect score for healthcare, education and infrastructure, and is considered one of the safest cities in the world.

The Geelong Waurn Ponds Campus is home to the Deakin Medical School, the Centre for Advanced Design in Engineering Training (CADET), the REACH regional health hub and Deakin’s Geelong Innovation Precinct – all featuring the latest tech and tools.

GeelongGeelong combines the best of city living with a more relaxed atmosphere. Located a short train trip from Melbourne, Geelong is a dynamic and safe coastal town with a spectacular waterfront lined with some of Geelong's best cafes and restaurants. You can head to the surf coast where students take a break from their studies to enjoy a swim or surf; or check out the GMHBA Stadium football oval where the Geelong Cats – an Australian league football team and partner of Deakin – play their exciting games.

Geelong is a community that welcomes students. You will find Deakin students working in many of the local businesses and enjoying the wide range of activities and facilities that the town has to offer.

Close to Geelong, you can explore:

• The You Yangs mountain range for spectacular views

• The Bellarine Peninsula where you can taste local produce

• Coastal towns along the Great Ocean Road and see the iconic 12 Apostles limestone stacks.

Geelong Waterfront CampusDeakin's Geelong Waterfront Campus is right on the seafront in the heart of Geelong. Originally built as wool stores in the 19th century, the buildings have been extensively renovated, creating a modern, impressive campus. The campus is home to Deakin’s architecture and creative arts studios. Alongside a full range of accessible student services, the campus features nursing and health teaching facilities, including a purpose-built occupational therapy laboratory and new nursing and midwifery simulation environments.

Geelong Waurn Ponds CampusYou get the best of both worlds at the Geelong Waurn Ponds Campus – world-class programs and superb facilities, as well as a relaxing, regional environment close to some of Australia’s best surf beaches.

Outdoor areas and spacious new buildings are perfect for both socialising and studying at this campus. It offers incredible sport facilities and is home to Deakin’s Elite Sport Precinct, which includes an Australian rules football oval, FIFA-grade soccer pitch, eight-lane 400-metre athletics track, outdoor basketball court and more. A deluxe health club complete with gym, workout studios and group fitness classes is also available.

CAMPUSES AND COMMUNITIES

WarrnamboolSet 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. Warrnambool is also a prosperous country town that offers comfortable living and a cultural scene hosted by a regional gallery and arts centre. Cruise up the Hopkins River or sit down to some excellent Southeast Asian cuisine on Liebig Street. Warrnambool has plenty of options for an active student, and the small town feel creates a sense of community that is harder to find in a big city. And for 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 set on the banks of the picturesque Hopkins River, close to surf beaches and popular tourist attractions. It is a close-knit 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.

Warrnambool Campus bursary Deakin Bachelor of Nursing and Bachelor of Commerce students who study at the Warrnambool Campus will be automatically eligible for a 20% fee and on-campus accommodation bursary.* This generous bursary is for all international students, and is your chance to save on a world-class education in an engaging and welcoming environment. For more information visit deakin.edu.au/int-scholarships.

* Applicants must have met the English and academic requirements for entry to their selected course to be eligible for this scholarship.

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 be savvy when it comes to time-management and prioritising. That’s 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.

With your own personalised digital study hub, we have made the transition to online study a smooth one. DeakinSync is the online place you will call home. It is where you will find everything you need to manage your enrolment and course material, communicate with your classmates and lecturers, sort out your timetable and even plan your career.

It is made up of chatbots, artificial intelligence, voice recognition, a predictive analytics engine, and many more exciting technologies. As a Deakin student, you can use Genie to keep a calendar of upcoming classes and assignments; set goals for the year and motivate yourself to achieve them; and access support services and learning tools from around the University.

Deakin Genie received the 2018 Digital Edge 50 award from IDG Communications, the world's number one ranked media, data and marketing services company. This outstanding achievement is a reflection of the program's high engagement and digital innovation.

Through interactive seminars and workshops, the program aims to inspire entrepreneurship and provides networking and mentoring opportunities to nurture successful start-up ideas.

Even so, security officers are on duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and are based at all campuses to ensure the safety of students and staff. Safer Community is a service available for support, advice or information if something just doesn’t feel quite right. In addition, SafeZone is a free phone app for all Deakin students and staff, that connects you directly to the security team if you need help on campus.

If you meet the academic requirements to study at Deakin, you can still apply even if your English does not meet our requirements. Qualified students who need help with their English will receive a conditional offer that allows you to study at the Deakin University English Language Institute (DUELI). If you successfully complete the necessary English language programs at DUELI, you will gain direct entry to your course at Deakin. You can learn more about DUELI on pages 19 – 20.

MEETING ENGLISH LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS

English language requirements for undergraduate studentsIn order to gain entry to an undergraduate degree at Deakin you will need to demonstrate that you have the appropriate level of English language skills. There are two options available for international students to meet the English language requirements for their degree:

Option 1 – You have completed previous studies in English (conditions apply).*

Option 2 – You received a high enough score on an approved English language test.*

* Applicant's previous studies or English language test results must have been within the last two years to meet Deakin's English language requirements.

Option 1 – Previous studies in English

In some cases, Deakin will recognise previous studies in English as being enough to meet your course's English language requirements. If you have previously studied in an institution where English was the language of instruction and assessment, you might meet Deakin's English language requirements. For example, students who complete the whole of their secondary studies in select English-speaking countries may meet the requirements.

For a complete list of previous studies and assessment results that meet Deakin's English language requirements visit deakin.edu.au/int-english.

Option 2 – Approved tests

Deakin accepts results from many international English language tests. The table on the next page shows the approved tests and the scores for BAND A through to BAND E.

Most Deakin undergraduate degrees require scores equal to or better than the scores in BAND A. All Faculty of Health undergraduate courses (except for nursing degrees) require scores equal or better than the scores in BAND B. However, some degrees require higher levels of English proficiency. The minimum IELTS scores for each course are listed in this Guide.

If you have taken a test other than the IELTS exam, use the table on the next page to find out the score that is equivalent.

English language requirementsEnglish is the language of instruction and assessment at Deakin. You will need to demonstrate your English language ability to be eligible to enter the Deakin degree of your choice.

Both scholarships recognise high-achieving students with consistently high academic performance who have the potential to make a leading contribution to the University and its communities.
