Student profiles

Hayden Djakic
Bachelor of Design (Architecture)
Geelong Waterfront Campus, 2010
Now: studying a masters degree at Deakin

‘I chose to study at Deakin because of the facilities and atmosphere of the Geelong Waterfront Campus. Deakin also has a very respected and hands-on architecture course. The things I enjoy most about my course are the diverse ideas that are brainstormed, allowing a “think-tank” of concepts. This allows you to bounce your ideas off a number of people so you always get the best outcome.

I’ve had the opportunity to talk with people from all over the world about my designs in some of our studio projects. This has allowed me to keep my computer skills up-to-date, as well as increasing my own knowledge of the subject. I plan to continue tutoring while completing my two-year masters degree. I then hope to work with a professional firm completing private housing and commercial
structures.’
