Take advantage of our pathways to Deakin
You might need to spend some time improving your academic scores or English before you start your Deakin course.
You can do this at Deakin College or the Deakin University English Language Institute (DUELI) – they're both on campus in Australia, which means you can get to know your campus, fellow students and Deakin staff before you start your degree.
Partnerships
Deakin benefits from partnerships with Danish institutions including Aarhus University, University of Copenhagen and VIA University College across a range of disciplines.
VIA College Denmark
Deakin has a strong relationship with VIA College within Nursing education and research.
VIA is a local contact point for Danish and Scandinavia students interested in or studying Deakin’s Master of Nursing Practice. For more information, please refer to VIA College's website.
Spend some time studying at Deakin
Complete part of your undergraduate, postgraduate or research degree with Deakin's study abroad program and you'll earn credit points for your degree back home.
Choose to study one to two trimesters or complete a full academic year as an exchange student.
Deakin is a large university with bachelor's, master's, PhD and research programs across all major disciplines. We also have specialist areas that are particularly in demand in Denmark, including business, medicine, information technology, communications, health and science.
Study in Australia
You can work part time while you study
You'll be able to work up to 40 hours a fortnight while you're studying in Australia on a student visa. If you're not studying during Trimester 3 (our non-compulsory trimester) you can work unlimited hours.
Here at Deakin, we have a service called Job Search Essentials that can help you get job ready and find part-time work.
Meeting people at Deakin
There's always an opportunity to make new friends here at Deakin, there's always something happening on campus everyday to help you settle in.
When you're feeling like something a little bit more like home, Melbourne city and its surrounds are dotted with European inspired cafes, boutiques and restaurants.
Apply for your student visa online
As a student from Denmark, you may be eligible to study and live in Australia on a student visa.
Once your student visa has been issued, it will be valid for your whole course of study (as long as you meet all your visa conditions).
You can apply for your student visa online or with the help of one of our representatives in your country.
Climate
Australia might be famous for its sunny beaches, but we also have lush rainforests and mountain ranges that see snow in winter.
Our weather varies a lot – you’ll want light clothes to wear in summer and a warm coat for winter (and don’t forget clothes to wear to the beach!).
Find a place to call home
With a welcoming student community and lots of on-campus shops and services, Deakin will feel like home in no time at all.
We have student accommodation at each of our campuses and a service to help you get settled if you'd like to live off campus.
Student stories
I felt it would be a great chance to help out and make sure other students got a great start at DUELI. The DUELI leadership role opened me up to new friendships, and I had so much fun. It was one of the most valuable aspects of my time at Deakin.
