Undergraduate Course Guide FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS


Welcome to Deakin University Deakin University seeks to be recognised as Australia’s most progressive university. We aim to do this by ensuring that all our activities are relevant, innovative and responsive. Deakin has an international outlook in all of its activities. Students from around the world are attracted to Deakin because of our commitment to teaching excellence, because we conduct research that makes a difference, because of our industry partnerships and because of our tailored courses. Deakin also provides a range of support programs to ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed in their studies. From our four Campuses in Melbourne, Geelong and Warrnambool, Deakin successfully combines traditional values of excellence in teaching and research with an attitude that challenges conventional practices and produces new ways of developing and delivering courses. Postgraduate courses are offered from graduate certificate to doctoral level, in traditional disciplines such as arts and science, in newer fields such as sport, environment and nutrition, and in professional fields such as accounting, architecture, commerce, engineering, law, nursing, psychology and teaching.

Deakin’s distinctive medical program will contribute to the health and wellbeing of communities by producing doctors who are fully qualified, broadly skilled and ready to pursue careers as generalists or specialists. Deakin encourages a vibrant culture of research, working in partnership with government, industry and some of the world’s leading research institutions to produce research of relevance both in Australia and internationally. Our goal is to improve Deakin’s research performance so that it is in the top third of the Australian higher education sector by building a critical mass of researchers who will develop a distinctive portfolio of high quality discovery, applied and commercial research. We understand that many of our postgraduate students are juggling work, family and study commitments. We hope to help by being as flexible as possible without compromising quality. For example, we have introduced a trimester system which gives students more options when it comes to organising their studies. The professional orientation of our programs, our numerous and varied partnerships, our rapidly increasing research profile and our innovative use of technology for teaching, make the University a leader in the provision of contemporary education. I look forward to welcoming you to Deakin University. Robin Buckham Deputy Vice-Chancellor (International and Development) Deakin University

This program is undertaken over three years at the Deakin and Box Hill Campuses in Melbourne.

Other Pathways A range of other pathways are available to students who do not meet the academic entry requirements for a Deakin course. These pathways are available via Australian education providers, and overseas institutions located in countries such as China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Singapore and Sri Lanka. These pathways may also provide credit into Deakin courses. Credit for Prior Learning (Credit Transfer) If you have completed studies from a recognised postsecondary institution (such as a TAFE institute in Australia or an overseas university) you may be eligible to be granted credit in recognition of those studies when you enrol in a course at Deakin. In most cases this will reduce the number of units and time required to complete your Deakin qualification. Deakin has a large number of credit transfer arrangements with Australian institutions, overseas universities and professional bodies. For further details regarding approved credit transfer arrangements for specific institutions and qualifications, please visit the University’s Credit for Prior Learning Database at www.deakin.edu.au/courses/ advancedstanding.php

Transcripts of results should be certified/notarised by the institution which awarded the qualification, or a certified photocopy of your original transcripts provided. Please do not send original documents as we unfortunately cannot return them. Note: Where appropriate, your should check with the relevant professional accreditation body to ensure that any Credit for Prior Learning granted towards your degree will not prevent you from being accepted into its membership. * TAFE stands for Technical and Further Education .

“Life at Deakin was something I had been looking forward to and I am really enjoying it here.”

“I chose Deakin because they offered a very well known, well-respected and recognised course in accounting. I gained experience about the real world as well as making friends.”

“I chose to come back for an honours year because of the staff, the facilities and the friends I made.”

“Deakin provided me with more than business skills and an academic qualification; it has made me think differently – out of the box.”

Why Deakin and what do you like about it?

What was your first year at Deakin like?

What surprised you about Deakin?

The Campus location. Studying architecture, I was fascinated with the Deakin Waterfront Campus because of its historical background. The staff are very helpful and supportive in helping me adapt to the new environment. Deakin has opened my eyes to a new world of architecture and professionalism. I have gained friends from all over the world and I have learned a lot about the Australian culture and lifestyle.

My first year at Deakin University was very challenging, the type of work the lecturers provide you are self-study which means you get the experience of being independent in your work, which prepares you for the real world. When I started I didn’t have a lot of friends but in the end I found they were the most important resources for both my university life and my social life. Deakin supports students not only as students, but also as individuals with activities such as cooking classes, sport, group activities, writing skills and other academic related workshops.

When troubles arose, I didn’t expect the staff to be as understanding as they were. My lecturers were always willing to listen and help me work out a solution. Moving out of my comfort zone was the best thing to ever happen to me because it gave me a chance to discover my individuality and my self-worth. Initially my home university chose Deakin for its comparable classes, but I chose to come back for an honors year because of the staff, the facilities and the friends I made. Warrnambool is a beautiful place with the beach, estuaries, and river systems. There are unique opportunities here for researching marine biology and it was a perfect place for my own personal growth.

What advice would you give someone thinking of coming to Deakin?

Master of Architecture

Bachelor of Commerce

Bachelor of Environmental Science (Honours)

Masters of Business Administration and Masters of Commerce (Marketing and Strategies)

The MBA course has tuned our brains to think, analyse and approach problems like managers. The assignments and case studies have prepared me to make decisions, and this skill will benefit both my professional and personal life. I feel the flexible unit options have enabled me to match my studies with my career goals. We were told ‘there is no such thing as a stupid question’ and this ongoing studentteacher dialogue is what makes the classes so stimulating. I feel that Deakin has lots to offer to a student in terms of resources. There are plenty of resources at Deakin to assist you in any possible way, be it academic, professional or personal. I also try to take time to reassure Indian students currently contemplating study in Australia of their safety.

“My exchange program helped me see another side of universities and their type of teaching.”

“Deakin has prepared me to become a very good programmer and taught me a lot about what employers look for.”

“I am very happy here at Deakin. I am very passionate about my career and I am looking forward to being a professional accountant.”

“The program I study is one of the best in the world and the Aussies just love their sports. This makes it a great experience to study here at Deakin. “

What was your first year at Deakin like?

Why Deakin and what do you like about it?

Other than a degree, what is Deakin giving you?

What has been your career highlight?

My first year at Deakin has been a great experience, I like how the exchange students receive a lot of help when transitioning into Deakin. The range of student clubs as well as cafes on campus is not something I have come across in Sweden.

I applied for other universities in Melbourne but Deakin is the only university that offers the course that I really wanted to major in. When I first came, I didn’t know anyone, it was really exciting and also scary. I really like the 24-hour computer labs, the library which has almost all the books you can name, the trips and events organised by DUSA (Deakin University Student Association) and all the workshops that run to help students in each and every kind of aspect. You name it, Deakin has got it all.

I am learning real workplace skills and I’ve now met people from all over the world. The courses at Deakin are all very relevant for our future careers. The gym and basketball courts are great. I love my subjects, the campus and the overall environment. It’s very nice here.

I did an internship in Barcelona, which was a great experience for me, and I learned many things. I am still in touch with the CEO of that company and hope to go back there to work for them. The culture, sunshine, sports and laid back people were a very important reason for me to come to Australia.

Fieldwork or practical experience can also form a large part of the content and assessment of some units.

Research that makes a difference Universities are all about knowledge – creating, discovering, analysing, sharing and dispersing knowledge. Research is at the core of these activities and helps to make Deakin University a vibrant place to study. At Deakin we take pride in being relevant to students and to their communities, not just in the courses we teach, but in the research we do. Whether you want to study engineering, law, politics, education, psychology or in another field, studying at a university that is committed to research that matters means that you have the opportunity to learn from people who are making a real difference in the world. More and more, Deakin University is becoming a research driven institution, which means that our lecturers include the people who write the textbooks or who are regarded as at the cutting edge in their fields of research. This is important, regardless of whether or not you want to pursue a research career, because it means that you will graduate with the latest knowledge in your chosen field. And if you are interested in going on to conduct your own postgraduate research – good news. We are very serious about providing excellent support and experiences for our research students, most of whom have opportunities to work with partner collaborators nationally and internationally, present at international conferences and use world-class facilities within Australia and abroad. You can pursue postgraduate research studies in three different ways: »» a Masters by Research, which is awarded for an original contribution to knowledge achieved in up to two years of full-time candidature

»» a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), which is awarded for a substantial original contribution to knowledge achieved in two to four years of full-time candidature »» a Professional Doctorate, which combines a research project, coursework and structured research tasks that specifically relate to professional practice and are often carried out in the workplace. There has never been a more exciting or compelling time to be at Deakin University as it moves confidently towards the goal of improving the University’s research performance. Deakin’s aim is to be in the top third of the Australian higher education sector. We’re acheiving it by building a critical mass of researchers who will develop a distinctive, broad-based portfolio of high quality discovery, applied and commercial research. A recent important part of this progress is the setting up of Strategic Research Centres (SRCs) built around Deakin University’s existing research strengths. These centres include the Institute for Technology Research Innovation (ITRI) and the Alfred Deakin Research Institute (ADRI). The new SRCs are: »» Centre for Memory, Imagination and Invention (CMII) »» Centre for Mental Health and Wellbeing Research »» Centre for Physical Activity and Nutrition Research (C-PAN) »» Centre for Research in Educational Futures and Innovation (CREFI) »» Centre for Sustainable and Responsible Organisations (CSaRO) »» Clinical Care, Quality and Risk Management (CCQRM) Group »» Centre for Integrative Ecology »» Molecular and Medical Research Group (MMRG) »» Population Health »» Centre for Biotechnology, Chemistry and Systems Biology

ITRI draws together world-class researchers in materials and fibres, bio and nanotechnology, intelligent systems and robotics in an interdisciplinary approach to solving big research questions. In May 2010 Deakin University was awarded A$37m through the Australian Government’s Education Investment Fund (EIF) to support the establishment of a new collaborative research facility, the Australian Future Fibres Research and Innovation Centre (AFFRIC) to be located at the Geelong Technology Precinct (GTP). This involves co-location of a materials and fibres research group from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), expansion of the existing research activities in ITRI and construction of a carbon fibre research pilot plant in partnership with the Victorian Centre for Advanced Materials Manufacturing (VCAMM). A new ‘Proof of Concept facility’ at the Geelong Campus at Waurn Ponds will also play an important role in the University’s research programs. This facility will give increased impetus to Deakin’s policy of building partnerships with industry, government and the community; this is a successful policy as growing collaborations in India, China, North America and Europe attest.

Deakin is very serious about providing excellent support and experiences for its research students, most of whom have opportunities to work with partner collaborators nationally and internationally, present at international conferences and use world-class facilities within Australia and abroad. The University’s success in the Ford Global Challenge to design a Model T for the 21st Century is another highlight. Deakin was the only Australian university invited to participate in the challenge. The design and presentation was cutting edge, reflecting the quality of research being done at the University in advanced materials and lightweight metals for both the automotive and aerospace industries.

The Alfred Deakin Research Institute has a mission to generate and promote research that will inform public debate and public policy. ADRI’s research features cross-disciplinary and problem-oriented approaches in collaboration with external partners to address problems of local, national and international significance.

The University’s Medical School plays an important role in enhancing Deakin’s research reputation in public health. Another central component to Deakin’s innovative work in health and wellbeing is the Clinical Research Facility. This is a multipurpose area capable of supporting both discrete discipline and multidisciplinary activity.

These groupings will provide a stimulating research and research training environment, supported by excellent infrastructure and Facilities.

Deakin University School of Medicine

Deakin’s School of Medicine was established in response to acute doctor shortages in rural and regional areas. This distinctive medical program will contribute to the health and wellbeing of Australians by producing doctors who are fully qualified, broadly skilled and ready to pursue careers as generalists or specialists. Deakin’s BMBS (Bachelor of Medicine Bachelor of Surgery) has a strong science foundation and an emphasis on the early development of clinical and procedural skills.

In 2008, Deakin University introduced a graduate entry, four-year Bachelor of Medicine Bachelor of Surgery (BMBS) degree.

Half of that requirement is met through coursework, which may include directed reading and/or enrolment in course work units, and half is satisfied through a research project (thesis or dissertation) of 14000/16000 words. Where creative works form a significant part of the assessment, they must be accompanied by an exegesis of at least 6000 words, depending on the discipline area. Lists of units and options available as honours coursework in any year are set down in the Honours Booklets produced by each study area. There are no attendance requirements for off-campus students, although regular consultation with an appointed thesis supervisor is required.

Arts and Education Can computer games help save the planet?

Deakin’s Dr Naarah Sawers from the Faculty of Arts and Education is finding out. Her past research at Deakin has analysed children’s literature and now she’s working on environmental agendas in children’s computer games. Do young players decide on a multistorey building and fat profits, or do they opt for a forest of trees and environmental health? With government agencies around the world already using computer games to hook children into environmental issues, Dr Sawers’ research is timely and important.

A team lead by School of History, Heritage and Society lecturer Jonathan Sweet has completed a pilot research program to develop collections management training for Buddhist monks in northern Thailand. The Chiang Mai University’s Fine Arts Department and UNESCO Bangkok partnered Deakin in the pilot, which was designed to investigate ways to help Buddhist monks acquire the confidence to make informed decisions about the management of collections of artefacts which are in their care. These include many significant religious items, as well as historical items derived from local communities. The 22 monks who participated came from across the region and were joined by 10 postgraduate students from Chiang Mai University.

The Bachelor of Early Childhood Education enables participants to complete the course requirements of 20 credit points of study in a minimum of two years of full-time study (or part-time equivalent), inclusive of professional experience. Deakin’s focus on experiential learning in workplace settings and communities is very different from most early childhood teacher education courses. Up to half of all the teaching and learning activities of this course is undertaken in the real context, giving you the opportunity to meld theory and practice and to become a fully prepared early childhood educator. The course was prepared in consultation with practitioners, parents and early childhood professionals, and course content and delivery draws on the expertise and experience of these groups. The course content covers all areas of program preparation, professional understandings, experience and skills required of early childhood educators. Level 3 students must complete a minimum of 45 days of supervised work placement in a range of early childhood settings, prior to progression to the fourth year of study. The program is offered in two experience-based pathways: a rural, communitybased program offered through the Geelong Campus at Waurn Ponds and the Warrnambool Campus, and an on-campus city-based program offered through the Melbourne Campus at Burwood. In most instances, you will be able to combine employment with your studies. You may undertake part of your work placements at your current early childhood workplace and also arrange to exchange workplaces with other students. Students enrolled in the rural program are required to attend intensives throughout the course. Each year the first intensive will be held on campus, with the remaining two-day intensives, each including an evening community seminar, to be held in community-based early childhood centres. There will be approximately one intensive held every six weeks. In addition, at level 3 you will be placed in early childhood settings (including kindergartens, long day care centres) for supervised professional experience for a minimum of two days per week. You will be expected to use the remaining three days per week for study, assignment preparation and Deakin Studies Online (DSO) contact. The city program has the same features as the rural program, including supervised work placement in city kindergartens and childcare centres, and offers community seminars. The city program also has weekly lectures, tutorials, and workshops throughout each trimester (two days per week), embedding a series of professional student and teacher seminars held at the Melbourne Campus at Burwood. The city program is suitable for domestic and international students living in the Melbourne area.

Career opportunities

Graduates will have career opportunities in childcare facilities, kindergartens and early learning centres, with scope in the future for positions such as institution director, coordinator, pre-school field officer, adviser or senior adviser within early childhood facilities. Opportunities also exist for employment in government agencies, community services or in not-for-profit organisations.

Sustainable homes – a smart move

Is sustainable housing hot property? Professor Richard Reed, from Deakin’s School of Management and Marketing, is working out how to measure the impact of green features like water tanks or grey water systems on property values. ‘Buyers are placing a premium on sustainable housing,’ he says. ‘It used to be “can you afford to be green?” Now the question is, “can you afford not to be green?”’ Professor Reed believes his research will demonstrate that properties with features that are energy or water intensive are likely to experience a drop in value. ‘Homebuyers should be thinking more about efficiency and not so much about keeping up with the Joneses and that bigger is best. ‘We’re looking at whether it’s possible to be sustainable and add value to your house, your single greatest asset.’

Travelling light

Deakin University researchers have developed a new lightweight alloy that could lead to lighter, more fuel-efficient cars. The University’s light metals group has developed a magnesium alloy that is lightweight, like magnesium, but is easier and cheaper for the automotive industry to use. Although magnesium is the lightest metal available for use in structural applications, aluminium is preferred by the industry because it is better suited to the extrusion process – when a block of metal is squeezed through a hole to produce rods, tubes and other shapes – working five times faster than magnesium. The new magnesium alloy can extrude three times faster than the common magnesium alloy, with a similar strength to that of a common aluminium alloy.

Fighting malaria – a chink in the armour

The School of Medicine’s Dr Tania de Koning-Ward, along with scientists from The Burnet Institute and The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute for Medical Research, has identified a chink in the life cycle of malaria that offers hope for the development of new treatment options for this devastating disease. The malaria parasite grows inside red blood cells but to survive and cause illness it must transport hundreds of different proteins to the outside. While these proteins have many different functions that are crucial to parasite growth and survival, a common feature is that they must all pass through the same pore in the surrounding membrane. Dr de Koning-Ward and her colleagues have discovered the identity of this protein pore. The main significance of the finding is its implication for a new anti-malarial therapy. The discovery opens up a new avenue to combat this debilitating disease.

Deakin University’s work placement programs are an important component of the Bachelor of Occupational Therapy degree. Within a host agency, you can play a meaningful role in a variety of activities, including planning programs and events, undertaking needs assessments, developing evaluation tools, counselling, group work, completing literature reviews and producing promotional material. Placements give you learning experiences that enable you to develop and integrate knowledge to applied practice. Work placements are held during each of the four years and are available in a variety of locations in metropolitan, regional and rural settings. Deakin’s purpose-built facilities have been developed to simulate real-life settings and enable you to gain knowledge and skills required to help a client manage their entire day in modified home and office environments - backing up the holistic health and learning model. Selected students will have the opportunity to complete the degree with honours.

Hooked on Information Technology

Rebecca Kenny is looking forward to getting ‘industry ready’ from work placements she will undertake as part of two scholarships she has received. Rebecca received the Deakin Target IT award and an IGNITED (Initiative for a Girls’ Network in Information Technology and Engineering @ Deakin) scholarship after performing very well in her final year of secondary school. Rebecca had not considered a career in IT until Year 12, but once she got a taste of it she was hooked. ‘I loved the practical side of things. We were actively doing things, like making web sites and databases. Because it was hands-on it kept me interested, it’s much easier to learn when it’s hands on.’ Rebecca Kenny Bachelor of Information Technology/Bachelor of Business Information Systems, Geelong Campus at Waurn Ponds

Putting cyber criminals on the run

Cyber-criminals often cover their tracks by hiding their identities or stealing the identities of others, but researchers in Deakin’s Faculty of Science and Technology are on the case. Professor Wanlei Zhou is working on new methods to trace those behind malicious cyber attacks, focusing his study on internet protocol (IP) packets. All data sent through the internet is parcelled into IP packets, which include information about the sender’s unique IP address. Internet criminals can change the source address in the IP packet, but Professor Zhou’s work involves placing markers in the packet that criminals cannot see, let alone remove. It is hoped that these markers will allow internet crime fighters to reconstruct source addresses in IP packets that criminals have tried to conceal.

Deakin’s Bachelor of Laws (LLB) is designed to produce first-class commercial lawyers. The course provides in-depth studies in each of the major areas of legal practice by offering a number of special features including an emphasis on Practical Legal Skills training. It satisfies the academic requirements for admission to practise law in Victoria. The Bachelor of Laws degree may be awarded at honours level. A distinctive feature of Deakin’s LLB is its deliberate orientation towards commercial law – it is one of the few in Australia with this specific and exclusive focus.

Practical course requirements Professional experience You will be required to complete 30 days work placement in a legal environment to gain experience on how the law operates in practise. This practical experience will provide you with an enriched formal legal education and prepare you for employment in the industry. Practical Legal Skills The Practical Legal Skills (PLS) program is designed to give you experience in a variety of different dispute resolution methods. The PLS program is seen as a valuable way of developing research skills and the ability to present arguments orally and in writing. The program requires the completion of four units, and normally one unit is undertaken each year. The units are Moot, Mediation, Arbitration and Witness Examination. As part of the course, Deakin also offers Law Clinic, a clinical skills unit which involves you working at a community legal centre under the supervision of a legal practitioner.

Career opportunities

Obtaining a law degree is normally the first step towards becoming a barrister or solicitor, and most students entering law school aspire to enter one of these branches of the legal profession. A Law degree, especially when combined with a degree in Arts, Commerce, Management or Science, is a qualification, which offers unequalled career opportunities. As an alternative to practicing as a barrister or solicitor, you may choose to enter business (as a corporate lawyer, company administrator or business manager); government service (as a lawyer with departments or authorities as diverse as the Attorney Generals Department, the office of Parliamentary Counsel, the Director of Public Prosecutions, and the Australian Securities Commission); industrial relations; public administration; teaching (at a university); or in law reform (as law reform commissioner or research officer).

Course structure

You will complete 32 credit points in total: 20 compulsory law units; four elective law units; four elective non-law units; and four elective units which can be law or non-law units. In addition, you will be required to complete the prescribed practical course requirements, Practical Legal Skills and professional experience.

A move for the better

When Dylan Chaplin Burch left his Brighton home to study law at Deakin University’s Warrnambool Campus, he anticipated a return to the city lights at the earliest opportunity. Falling in love with the regional city and a slower paced lifestyle definitely was not on his agenda. ‘I thought I would be here for a year and then transfer to Burwood,’ says Dylan. ‘But I loved it. It is just such a change from the busy city life I grew up with.’

A Law degree, especially when combined with another degree, such as Arts, Commerce, Management or Science, is a qualification that offers unequalled career opportunities. As an alternative to practising as a barrister or solicitor, you may enter many areas of work including business and management roles in a wide range of organisations, government services, and industrial relations. You may find a role in research, public administration, diplomatic service, the media, legal aid, law reform or teaching in universities.

‘We have about 30 in lectures and a great one-to-one relationship with the lecturers,’ he says. ‘They are so open to helping you whenever and wherever we need – they are awesome.’ He has also enjoyed the practical focus of the course. ‘Sometimes you can get lost in facts and figures, but they always show you how to apply it and we can see what we are working towards.’

Dylan is now completing the final two years of his degree at Deakin’s Geelong Campus at Waurn Ponds.

The secret life of seals

Above ground there have been spy-cams, stump-cams and even helmet‑cams. Now Australian fur seals will take camcorders under the Southern Ocean to give scientists an unprecedented view of life underwater. Researchers from Deakin University’s School of Life and Environmental Sciences hope the digital video recorders will reveal in detail how these creatures hunt and capture their prey. With the use of high-resolution global positioning system (GPS) tracking technology, the research team will also obtain real-time information about the location of the seals’ sea-floor habitats. Knowledge of how the seals use their habitat will provide researchers with a greater understanding of how the animals may cope with environmental changes, including climate change. Of particular concern is the impact a changing climate may have on ocean currents and marine productivity in regions where fur seal populations overlap with commercial fishing. Researchers say data from the study, conducted in collaboration with the National Geographic Society who developed the camera which they call Crittercam, may inform the development of better wildlife management and conservation policies.

Blowing the whistle on umpire abuse

It takes a thick skin to wear the abuse that can sometimes rain on our sporting umpires – but Deakin University research has discovered that, for many umpires, negative comments are ‘like water off a duck’s back’. Research from Dr Pamm Kellett and Professor David Shilbury has found that umpires are surprisingly resilient – and the key could be in their training environment and social networks. The umpires interviewed as part of the study seem to learn how to deal with this abuse from the culture in which they are trained. The research also revealed that social interactions allowed umpires to share experiences and provided positive reinforcement.

Tuition fee and refund policy for international students

Fees for international students apply to persons living in Australia with temporary resident status in a study program (provided that there is no stated limitation), and persons living abroad who are not Australian citizens and do not have permanent resident status in Australia. These Policies comply with the Education Services for Overseas Students Act (ESOS Act 2000) and Australian Vice-Chancellors’ Committee’s guidelines on fees for international students. They are subject to changes when the guidelines are reviewed by the Australian education authorities. On-campus international students must meet Commonwealth Government guidelines for entry into Australia and enrolment at the University. These Policies apply to all international on-campus students, irrespective of who pays the fees. They apply to commencing and continuing students and to those persons who have been offered a place in a course of study at the University. Deakin’s course tuition fees are calculated on the units which you are enrolled in. This means that your fees are based on the units you choose to study in your course. And not on any fixed course price. Different units have different fees, which depend on how much each unit costs the univerisity to provide. For example, units which require laboratories or special equipment may cost more than units which do not. This is explained in more detail on page 111. The complete and latest version of the Fees and Refund Policy is available online through The Guide at http://theguide.deakin.edu.au. This agreement does not remove the right to take further action under Australia’s consumer protection law or pursue other legal remedies.

Fee liability

Students who withdraw from a fee-paying course or whose enrolment in a fee-paying course is terminated or lapses, will be liable to pay the tuition fees applicable. If students transfer to a new course, including a combined course, the prevailing tuition fees apply.

General refund policy

A general refund may be given if written notice of withdrawal from unit/s or discontinuation or intermission from a course of study is received by the University by the following dates: For new international students : For those withdrawing having paid their fees: »» 90 per cent refund is payable if the student withdraws at least 4 weeks prior to start of trimester;

»» 50 per cent refund is payable if the student withdraws between 4 weeks prior to the start of trimester and the census date of the relevant unit(s); and »» no refund is payable if the student withdraws after census date. For those withdrawing having not paid their fees: »» their enrolment will be terminated for non-payment of fees. The retention of 10 per cent of the fees for commencing students is in recognition of the additional costs involved in administering the initial enrolment of international students. For continuing international students: For those withdrawing having paid their fees: »» 100 per cent refund is payable if withdrawal is prior to the start of the third week of trimester; »» 50 per cent refund is payable if withdrawal is between the start of the third week and the census date for the unit(s); and »» no refund is payable if withdrawal from the unit(s) is after census date. For those withdrawing having not paid their fees: »» their enrolment will be terminated for non-payment of fees. »» For English language courses (DUELI), the enrolment and orientation fee is non-refundable. »» Refunds will not be granted after a course has commenced. »» Requests for refunds received less than 28 days prior to the commencement of the course will receive a refund of 50 per cent of the tuition fee. »» The maximum amount retained by Deakin will not exceed 12 weeks of the published tuition fee.

Full refund

A full refund of tuition fees paid may be given in special circumstances. Such circumstances are those beyond the control of the student or those which make it impossible for the student to continue. The following reasons are grounds to apply for a full refund: »» a student is refused a student visa by the Commonwealth Government authorities, or »» an offer is withdrawn or an enrolment terminated because the University is unable to provide the course of study, or »» a student withdraws from a unit on the advice of a Faculty Course Adviser and does not enrol in a replacement unit (the signature of the Faculty Course Adviser is required), or »» the University changes and is unable to offer unit/s such that a student is prevented from completing the unit/s and no credit is given towards other unit/s, or »» the course does not commence on the agreed start date and the student is not already withdrawn, or »» the government has limited Deakin’s right to conduct courses for overseas students, or »» a student is unable to fulfil the conditions of an offer or selection criteria applicable to these applicants, or »» a student fails to meet progression rules and is not permitted to reenrol, or »» a student has gained Permanent Resident status prior to the University census date and has not been offered a Commonwealth supported place, or »» a student withdraws from a unit and enrols in a replacement unit of equal value in the same trimester, or »» a student provides written advice more than four weeks prior to the commencement of the English language course.

Tuition fee, fee refund and privacy policies 115.


Executive discretion may be exercised to consider applications which do not comply with the above provisions but for which extraordinary circumstances may exist. An application for a refund in special circumstances must be made in writing and sent to the Executive Director, Deakin International. Proof of payment of the fees (e.g. an official receipt) and validation of the reasons for applying for a refund will be required.

Methods of refund

New students should notify the Executive Director, Deakin International, in writing of any wish to cancel enrolment (prior to enrolment). »» Enrolled students may apply for a general refund. Inquiries may be made on Campus at Deakin Central. »» If Deakin defaults in the provision of the course the refund will be made within two weeks of the default event. »» If the student defaults the refund will be made within four weeks of the University being notified. »» Refunds will be made by cheque or EFT in Australian dollars only. »» Refunds may be made to a nominated person/sponsor who initially paid the student fees. »» Scholarship and sponsored student refunds will only be made to the scholarship or sponsoring body.

Transfer fees

Refunds in the form of a transfer of fees to another instutution are generally not permitted and refunds will be made directly to the students or sponsoring body.

Changes to residency status during application

Students whose residency status changes during the application process or while studying at Deakin University must notify Deakin International immediately. 1. If an international student gains Australian Permanent Resident status before enrolment, the student will no longer be classified as an international student. The student must reapply for admission and will therefore compete with other Australian students for a governmentfunded Commonwealth supported place. If the student is successful, he/she will be liable to pay either the student contribution for the Commonwealth supported place. There is no guarantee that a place will be available and Commonwealth supported places are limited by a quota set by the Federal Government. 2. If an international student gains Australian Permanent Resident status after enrolment the student will still be classified as an international student for the remainder of that trimester and will be liable for payment of fees. However the student will be considered an Australian resident for subsequent trimester(s) and will be subject to conditions as outlined above. 3. Final dates for notification are census dates for each trimester. 4. Any approved refund of international tuition fees will be in accordance with the refund policy. See General refund for new students, page 115.

Payment of international award course tuition fees by instalments

International students undertaking award courses are required to pay fees for the units in which they are enrolled by the due date for those units. Such students, except those in their first trimester of study, may pay their tuition fees by instalment subject to the following conditions: »» At least 50 per cent of the course tuition fees must be paid by the census date.
