UPDATE from Deakin Abroad (10 March): COVID-19 (coronavirus) continues to cause uncertainty in many places around the world. In response to this, Deakin University has made the decision to defer all student travel to all locations until 30 April 2020. This decision will be reviewed at the end of March. In light of this deferment, Deakin Abroad is currently unable to process any new applications. If you have any questions, please email us.
