Deakin's distance education coursework courses, up to and including Masters level, are externally accredited by the Accrediting Commission of the US Distance Education and Training Council DETC). Deakin is one of only four Australian universities to receive international accreditation from DETC.
Deakin students have choices about the way they study. You can study full-time, or part-time, on or off campus, or combine a mix of study modes.
You can attend lectures on campus and receive face-to-face teaching, or study remotely from home or work.
Deakin uses online technologies to enrich learning experiences and prepares its graduates to be confident and competent using online technologies and in online environments.
Our flexible approach means Deakin makes use of technology in the way we deliver our courses. Deakin University’s lecture streaming service gives you online access to recorded lectures for many units. In addition to video and audio streaming, academic staff can provide their lectures as podcasts and downloadable MP3s.
From 2004, all units had at least a basic online component with facilities for information, resources and communication. All students commencing undergraduate degrees are now to complete at least one wholly online unit.
