How to enrol
Deakin intensive units are open to both currently enrolled Deakin students and professionals who wish to study a single (non-award) unit.
Current Deakin students
Enrol in the intensive unit of your choice using the standard enrolment process. You'll need to have completed any prerequisites and the unit must meet course completion rules. Check the handbook for details.
Once enrolled, you'll be contacted by the intensives team with further information.
Single (non-award) students
Intensive units offered are available as single (non-award) units of study. You'll need to apply for a single unit of study, and places in intensive units may be subject to limits. When considering intensive units please note the teaching commencement dates, which may differ to usual trimester dates.
Normally the teaching period for an intensive unit commences 6–7 weeks prior to the actual intensive date. Successful students will be notified by email.
