What students say about Deakin University


Likes

  • Placements offer great firsthand exposure to the teaching life and acquaint you with the expectations and duties of an Australian teacher.
  • Deakin has a website called Deakin Jobs, offering a wide range of job opportunities for application. Additionally, they organize on-campus events that provide the chance to engage with companies or individuals seeking to hire.
  • There are many job opportunities inside the uni for 2nd-year students, such as being a uni mentor and being part of study groups. Additionally, with a great degree in hand, you are always open to a wide variety of jobs in your field.
  • I received a 20% fee discount as a scholarship because I achieved more than a distinction in my Bachelors degree.
  • The campus has clubs for most hobbies, and the library is full of resources, along with the best sports facilities and strong wifi.
  • I stay off campus while Deakin also has an on-campus accommodation, but for an easy pocket, most of the students look out for off-campus accommodation.
  • The fee structure allows each student to pay for their fees as they like, for instance, through HECs or upfront. This is good as it is helpful for all students.
  • For my subjects so far, there is one unit chair and the others are seminar leaders and assistants.
  • The best university I have ever heard of, and I also like the study pattern here. I appreciate the way everything is organized, and the tutors are understanding.

Dislike

  • No, I didnt stay on campus because I lived close to the university, and it was never an option for me to go and live on campus

  • Dislikes:
  • I only dislike one thing that is the pressure of study in the first trimester. The assignment deadlines for the first trimester students is very less and the time given to explain these things up is also very less. Students like me from India or any country where assignments are not that much impactful, Will not focus more on them but here they matter alot.

Yes I gave my coe that had my basic details like my interests and all the things. Because Deakin is in the top 1% universities of the world. It includes students from all the Nations not only from India and it provides a lot of opportunities in future as it will give me a global citizenship.My university is fun I love studying there enjoy the activities and I'm very very lucky to be in that university. I am damn sure that my future is secure and I'm going to achieve my goal in future. I will recommend this university to my friend as well as it is a very great university to study in.

  • Dislikes:
  • The location for me its like little bit far from the melbourne CBD but nothing to worry as we can get a train or tramp as well.Even they have a express bus shuttle service from box hill station to deakin university.

I had to submit my short 300 words SoP and one long detailed SoP, and a detailed CV as well. The main reason was the ranking of this university is quite good as compared to other university and the fee structure is also affordable compared to group of eight. Also the main highlight was the course i took was accredited from Australian computer society(ACS). Overall its good but the course is challenging because i do not have background of IT and the university experience is top notch like the facilities are quite good. The lecture theatre, library, medical centre, Gym are quite good. There are many cafes and vending machine in the premises where you can get variety of food ranging from continental to indian.

Deakin Institute is ranked among the top 1% of all the universities across the globe. The course structure of Masters of biotechnology is practically based and in the second year university allows to work in industries as an intern or choose a thesis pathway which helps students to decide their path. The admission process in this institute is very simple you just need to qualify their admission criteria like min. 12th percentage around 60% and graduation should also be above 60%. I didn't join any coaching institute for exam preparation. I approach Collegedunia for university selection and guidance for the admission process and they helped me a lot through the whole process.

I think they really value student satisfaction over anything they really tried to understand or really tried to help you in terms of fresher in terms of if you need some changing you know a lot of my friends if they didn't like courses it was quite easy to drop and find a new one instead of a long procedure where you know might scare students that I am not liking the class but then there is such a long procedure and I don't wanna drop the class now. So I think in terms of that they really try to be as helpful and as flexible as they can.

I was searching since class 11th. I searched about Australia and made a list of 10 different universities. Then, I called my counselor and she told me to go for Deakin.

I chose Deakin University because it has some of the best faculty for the bachelor of psychological science course. Deakin University has structured the course in such a way it helps in the overall development of the student. and when i was gathering information regarding the Deakin University i contacted many alumni of Deakin University and they all told me that Deakin University is the best university that offers the course that i wanted to pursue and it will help me in getting a job and in research.
