Deakin is Australia's expert in flexible course delivery, a concept that involves offering quality-assured, accredited education programs that contain what students need, when and where they need it, at a cost they can afford. ‘Flexible delivery' means mature-age students (aged 21 or more) can study part-time or full-time, from home or work, from anywhere in Australia or overseas.
The study programs are designed to produce graduates that can ‘hit the ground running'. That is, we aim to develop graduates who are multi-skilled, broadly focused with multi-disciplinary technical competence, and the ability to take a systems approach to design and operational performance. Deakin is also grooming graduates with highly developed skills in communication, teamwork and technology management, and a holistic understanding of the role of the professional in society.
Deakin's School of Engineering and Information Technology promotes and maintains strong industry links through its joint research and education programs, and students have the opportunity to be involved in industry projects and work experience. Each year many companies sponsor student awards, and our graduates enjoy high employment rates.
All of our Bachelor degrees are fully accredited by the relevant industry professional association. Our Bachelor of Engineering is accredited by Engineers Australia, and our Bachelor of IT degrees are accredited by the Australian Computer Society, as is our Master of IT degree. These professional accreditations mean that you are recognised as a professional overseas, and provide endorsement that what you have studied at Deakin is internationally recognised.
