Geelong Campus at Waurn Ponds

Deakin's Geelong Campus at Waurn Ponds is located on the western edge of the historic port city of Geelong, 72 kilometres south west of Melbourne. Geelong is Victoria's largest regional centre with a population of more than 200 000 people.

The Campus features expansive landscaped grounds and extensive sporting facilities. It is the second-largest Campus of the University, with more than 4000 on-campus students. The Campus buildings will be the subject of a significant renovation project commencing in 2008.

Services and facilities include lecture theatres, library, computer laboratories, health care services, a dining room, gymnasium, sports hall, shops and a bank.

In 2008, Deakin University introduced a graduate entry four-year Bachelor of Medicine Bachelor of Surgery degree, based at the Campus. Its particular emphasis will be on training medical students who are motivated to work in rural and regional areas. Deakin’s distinctive medical program will contribute to the health and wellbeing of Australians by producing doctors who are fully qualified, broadly skilled and ready to pursue careers as generalists or specialists.

Another exciting addition to this Campus is the Geelong Technology Precinct (GTP). This State Government-backed initiative provides research and development capabilities and opportunities for university-industry partnerships and new enterprises in the region. Our courses in engineering are ideally located at this Campus for students to take advantage of these links.

Other areas of study offered at this Campus include Arts, Business and Management, Communication and Media, Engineering, Health and Community Services, Information Technology, Law, Nursing, Psychology, Science and Teaching.

On-campus accommodation is provided for 447 students in a mixed gender and multicultural environment.
