Deakin Open Day gives students the opportunity to explore our campuses, attend course presentations, chat with staff and students, and discover what university life is really like. It's a great way to help them make informed decisions about their future.
Pathways and opportunities for your students
Every student has a different journey to university. Whether they're high-achieving, eligible for adjusted entry or looking for an alternative pathway, Deakin offers programs that can help them reach their study goals.
Join our Deakin Accelerate webinar
Deakin Accelerate helps high-achieving Year 12 students get a head start on university. Register for our webinar on Wednesday 21 October to learn more about how the program can fast-track your students' path 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.
