Student profiles

Christopher Grima
Bachelor of Design (Architecture)/ Bachelor of Construction Management
Geelong Waterfront Campus

‘I chose Deakin firstly because of its reputation in the industry for providing the most practical graduates. Secondly, it is the only university in the area that offers an architecture/construction management combined course. Studying two areas of the industry allows me more flexibility with my career path.

The units are structured to give you a taste of every career linked with the industry and the lecturers are always there for support. The learning doesn’t stay at uni - there are constant field trips too. I have been able to create a pathway for myself into the architecture industry that if I hadn’t gone to Deakin, would not have been possible.’
