Start your studies when it suits you
At Deakin we understand that juggling work, life and study can be complicated. That’s why we offer Start Anytime, so that you can fit your studies around your life and other commitments.
With Start Anytime, you no longer have to wait until the usual trimester intake to start your course. You can commence a unit at the beginning of any month during the year without needing to wait. Start Anytime also allows you to fast-track and complete a unit in as little as four weeks, or you can take your time over a longer period.
Start Anytime learning structure
The unique Start Anytime learning structure offered via our online learning platform allows you to study at a time and place that suits you. Your classroom is online, so you can enjoy easy access to all the support you need, including course materials, orientation resources, and online study support. You’ll work in real time with academics and fellow students, participate in discussions, get one-on-one assistance, and receive timely feedback on your assignments.
What’s more, Start Anytime assignment deadlines are either self-selected or tailored to your progress, meaning you can complete your work within your own time.
