Short Term Partner Programs
Short term experiences with a long term impact
UPDATE from Deakin Abroad (25 March): COVID-19 (coronavirus) continues to cause uncertainty around the world, leading to the Australian Governments issuing a worldwide travel advisory of “Do not travel”. In response to this, Deakin University has made the decision to suspend all mid-year Deakin Abroad programs. We will continue to monitor the situation and we hope to provide an update on T3 programs by the end of June 2020.
Short Term Partner Programs are short overseas experiences that run during Deakin’s trimester breaks with the aim to fast-track your degree. These two to six-week programs are offered by Deakin’s partner universities or approved hosts. Past programs include Psychology in the Netherlands, Healthcare in the UK, Law in Denmark or Finance in China.
You must have a Weighted Average Mark (WAM) of 60 and above to apply although some discretion may apply to this requirement - please email Deakin Abroad to discuss. If you are undertaking your final unit abroad, your attendance at a graduation ceremony may be delayed due to your host university releasing results at conflicting times. By proceeding with a Short Term Partner Program application, you acknowledge that you will need to attend the next available graduation ceremony.
- There are two types of short term partner programs:
- Exchange: You pay tuition fees to Deakin University as per normal but pay all associated program costs directly to your host institution.
- Study Abroad: You pay tuition fees and all associated program costs directly to your host institution.
Please refer to the specific program brochure to find out whether your program is Exchange or Study Abroad.
Travel Grants
Travel grants may be subject to WAM and you will be contacted by Deakin Abroad with further instructions on how to receive the grant once everyone is committed and enrolled in the program.
