Learn more about Deakin’s reputation

I learnt about Deakin when I met a Deakin University representative in India. I chose to study at Deakin because of their Master of Business Administration (International) degree – it was the perfect combination of business and academia – which then translated into me choosing to study in Australia.

Deakin offers a lot of leadership roles to help students gain valuable experience in different areas. I currently work as a math mentor helping students solve their math problems and become independent learners. This experience has increased my confidence as a leader and helped me get an internship at the uni.
