What students say

Students often describe Deakin as having a strong multicultural community and faculty who are approachable when coursework gets difficult. The hands-on, assignment-driven style of teaching is a recurring positive theme, particularly for its industry relevance. Some reviews flag that fees and on-campus accommodation costs are high for international students, which is why many end up in shared off-campus housing instead.
