#1 Victorian university for graduate employment
Help your students achieve their career goals
Choosing Deakin means choosing degrees that unlock real job outcomes. With work-integrated learning, industry connections and award-winning career services, we give your students the support they need to take the next step.
Request to book a visit
Submit a request for Deakin to visit your school, plan a student tour of our vibrant campuses or arrange an online presentation. Our Future Students team will review your submission and get in touch to explore available options.
Supporting students through change of preference
We’re here to help your students navigate Year 12, VTAC applications and the change of preference period with clarity and certainty. From exploring course options to managing deadlines, our expert guidance and practical tools help students make choices they feel good about.
Explore courses
Help your students find courses that match their interests and career goals. Our industry-shaped courses give students the skills and experience they need to succeed in their careers. As the #1 Victorian university for graduate employment and course satisfaction, Deakin ensures students feel confident in their choice.
Use our online tools
Deakin’s online tools give students the insights they need to make informed decisions about their course preferences. The ATAR Calculator estimates their ATAR, while the VCE Study Score Calculator predicts raw and scaled study scores. They can then explore courses by ATAR to compare options and find their ultimate course.
Access programs
Deakin’s access programs support students from all backgrounds. From regional and remote students to Indigenous pathways, equity programs, scholarships and initiatives for high-achieving or elite athletes, these programs give students the tools and opportunities to start strong and graduate ready for their career.
Pathways into university
Even if your students don’t achieve their desired ATAR, our pathways finder tool helps them discover the best way into their dream course. From bridging units and TAFE transitions to associate degrees and campus transfers, there’s more than one pathway to get there.
Deakin Open Day
Encourage your students to explore their future at Deakin Open Day this August. They’ll be able to chat with staff and students about study options, attend course information sessions, and experience our campuses through student-led tours and demonstrations. Register now for updates and a chance to win big!

Accelerate high-achieving students
Deakin Accelerate helps high-achieving Year 12 students get a head start on university. They can study an extra VCE subject, earn credit towards a Deakin degree and boost their ATAR – all while gaining confidence for the transition to university.
Deakin Guaranteed ATAR
Do your students attend an under-represented school, live or study in a rural or regional area or come from an Indigenous background? Deakin offers lower guaranteed ATARs for eligible students, helping them feel more confident about securing a place in their desired course.
Deakin Uni Ready
If your students don't have an ATAR, Deakin Uni Ready could be the pathway for them. Free and online, it's a supported program that builds the academic skills and confidence they need to meet Deakin's entry requirements and step into a degree.
