Introduction

Orientation for new students

This orientation site is for students who have enrolled in a Deakin course, delivered in collaboration with a partner, in a country other than Australia. At Deakin this mode of study is called 'offshore'.

As an offshore student, you will undertake exactly the same courses and use exactly the same Deakin University course materials as students taking the program on-campus at Deakin University in Australia. You will take the same examinations and will be assessed against the same levels of performance. Local support is provided by Deakin University's partner institutions which may include taking part in classes, tutorials and discussion groups.

Not only is the quality of the award assured, but Deakin University's local partner adds value by providing appropriate support. You will be able to undertake award studies on a part-time basis, avoiding the costs of studying and living abroad. Deakin University's offshore programs are one of the most convenient and affordable means of obtaining a quality overseas qualification.
