    My time at Deakin University

    Deakin University’s Burwood campus has a modern aesthetic. The faculty is warm, approachable, and genuinely invested in student growth. Outside of classes, I spent most of my time with the Deakin Table Tennis Club, which became my go to community on campus. Deakin also offers amazing on-campus opportunities, including internships and industry programs; I personally took part in the Deakin Business Development Clinic, which gave me real world experience while studying.

    Bachelor's student life at Deakin

    Deakin university is a top ranking university in Australia which provides vast range of stuff streams for the student with a multicultural student friendly environment. It always encourage students to drive through the pathways which enhance and upkeep the student life to the professionals with their stress free teaching methods and student centered administration.
    Deakin university is facilities with standard engineering labs, medical labs, science labs and all essential equipments and items which you need to get experienced before you attend to the professional world. The student central and the Deakin university student association will be beneficial for all students to fix your all issues and matters which arise during your study period. Deakin Talent will lead and meet you the relevant companies and professionals by making it is easier to reach them before you step into the carrier searching.
    If you are an engineering student it is better to study at Deakin university Geelong campus and IT and IT related stream students would choose Burwood campus, Health and biomedical students are good to go with both wornabool and Burwood campuses.

    I recommend Deakin university for all local and international student to start their studies and grab a massive benefits with the university facilities and special teaching methods which is align more with practical teaching methods rather sticking only to theoretical studies.

    Thanks.

    Waste of time and money

    Education – the education is whatever you put into it (meaning, if you listen to all the lectures, try each week and study then you will be rewarded with the knowledge).

    Support – ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE – this includes IT support, general support, special consideration support (no one will know how to assist).

    Social – lots of students and many of the teachers sexualise women (in my course).

    Overall – save your money and whatever you want to learn, go on YouTube / get a job in that field.

    Low quality, no support and consistent tech issues

    Here’s an improved version of your review:

    I’ve faced several challenges with the University that have left me frustrated. For weeks, I’ve been locked out of the University website, which has caused significant disruptions to my studies. During exams, I’ve encountered multiple technical issues, and the response has been less than helpful—either I’m forced to accept the result or retake the exam without any real assistance.

    Despite having three different lecturers cover the same material, I still struggle to grasp the concepts and apply them to assessment questions. Additionally, I often have difficulty understanding their English, which further hampers my learning.

    There’s no tutoring support available for business subjects, so if you need extra help, you’ll have to pay for it externally. When I requested additional practice exams to better prepare, the response was disappointing—basically a “computer says no” reply that took several days to address.

    Overall, I am extremely disappointed with the level of support and resources provided for the cost of this education. The University seems more focused on profit than genuinely helping students, and I feel it’s not a place I can trust for my academic growth.

    Modern facilities and good learning environment

    Deakin is well-regarded for its practical approach to education, particularly in the field of Information Systems. The university offers strong industry connections and modern facilities, providing students with hands-on learning experience but it may be lacking in advanced technical specialization.
