Both on and off-campus students have access to comprehensive e-learning and library facilities. Internships/professional experience
Scholarships and bursaries
Many Deakin courses have an internship component for academic credit. In these programs, students can observe and participate in real world experiences related to their studies. Internships are available in subject areas such as business, journalism, public relations, media and sociology, and in a wide range of organisations, or local businesses.
Access to higher education is very important at Deakin University. That’s why we offer a range of scholarships to help students from many different backgrounds.
Deakin’s study abroad and exchange experience If a full degree is not for you, you can also choose to come to Deakin for one or two trimesters as a study abroad or exchange student, and study units for credit towards your degree at your home institution. Our Student Mobility programs have unique strengths, such as internship components for academic credit, and a three-day orientation trip on the famous Great Ocean Road, where you’ll experience ‘the Aussie bush’ on guided hikes and learn to surf like a local.

Each Deakin scholarship provides financial assistance, with several incorporating work-integrated learning opportunities or a mentoring component. The University recognises and rewards high-achieving students through its academic excellence scholarships. International students studying at Deakin are eligible to apply for scholarships and bursaries to assist with studies. Scholarships and bursaries are awarded on the basis of academic merit, and are based on different selection criteria determined per course by each Faculty. Deakin scholarships for international students are offered in conjunction with leading industry bodies, international research scholarships for research degree students and bursaries awarded through the Deakin University International Scholarship Program (DUISP). Deakin invites eligible international students to apply for DUISP scholarships of between A$3 000 and $8 000 per year.
