Deakin University

Deakin’s largest campus is in Melbourne, the world’s most liveable city (The Economist Liveability Index 2016). Melbourne has a creative, exciting city centre surrounded by eclectic neighbourhood hubs and within a short distance of spectacular coastlines.

Burwood is a leafy suburb with many parks and other open spaces. The campus sits alongside parkland, which is great for cycling and walks. 

Burwood is our busiest campus, with around 26,000 students and 1,500 staff. The campus boasts architecturally impressive buildings and top facilities for every faculty.

Deakin has two campuses in the city of Geelong, which is just one hour from Melbourne. Geelong is Victoria’s second largest city, with great cafes, nightlife, galleries, music venues and easy access to great surf beaches and nature. Geelong sits at the start of one of the world’s most beautiful coastal drives, the Great Ocean Road. Surf beaches, whale watching and the famous Twelve Apostles are on your doorstep.

The campuses both boast great outdoor areas and spacious new buildings, perfect for both socialising and studying.

This has fantastic sports facilities – from a stadium, sports hall and courts, to a deluxe health club, complete with gym, workout studios and group fitness classes. Our Waterfront Campus is right on the seafront. Originally built as wool stores in 19th century, the buildings have been extensively renovated, creating a modern, impressive campus.
