Deakin intensive units are open to both currently enrolled Deakin students and professionals who wish to study a single (non-award) unit.

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.
