Personal comments

Depending on where you come from, you might just have to adjust to a different academic life and university system. It is however well worth the experience, even if some difficulties might occur. Staff is always friendly and more than willing to help at any time.

My opinion of the university assessment

Exams at end of course

Exams throughout the course

Essays and/or projects at the end of course

No. The information Deakin University gave me before I went didn't leave any unanswered questions.

Everybody loved it, you will too!

Remember that Australia is a BIG country. If you want to go travelling remember that the distances sometimes are gigantic and that it will take a lot of time to go from one place to the next.

“Incompetent, lazy and poorly organized ataff”

Gabriella R

Australia, Graduate
, 2020

Overall

RUBBISH. About to lodge a complaint with ASQA. ABSOLUTELY USELESS. DESPERATELY INCOMPETENT. Couldnt enrol start of Tri 1. Numerous phone calls and emails. Still couldn't enrol into units by end of week 1. I asked to have my course intermitted . It was approved. Okay. But today i received a text message with 2 fails, XN because i didn't hand in my work plus these mongrels charged me nearly $7,000 onto my HECS debt!!!!!!!
During this semester, despite having the email, not one single unit instructor bothered to contact me, if they believed i dodnt hand in my work. No one gave a damn.
You will now REFUND me my HECS debt for those 2 units. You will also withdraw the two XN!!!!!!
My son sat an online exam. The text he wrote disappeared and he couldnt edit. After multiple contacts, this issue hasnt been corrected and his mark has been affected. He's been receiving HDs all year and has 3 HDs for all his otger units but 60% for the one which had an error during the exam. He contacted you immediately, but no assistance. DISGUSTING.
STAY AWAY from Deakin.
Used to be a great university but now its TGE WORST. Epitome of incompetence. I will now withdraw and my son has applied to Monash

Pros

Nothing positive to mention

Cons

Everything. Useless staff.
