School of Medicine

All the courses we offer at the School of Medicine are grouped into several disciplines:

All of Deakin's medical, medical imaging and optometry students spend a significant portion of their degree working alongside doctors, surgeons and other medical professionals on clinical placements.

This means you'll enter your chosen profession with plenty of hands-on experience and confidence in dealing directly with patients.
