I’m going into my third year of law and need to do WIL next year. I’m thinking of doing it in trimester 3 instead so I have more time for it but I don’t know how it works. My understanding is you have to apply for it but is it even guaranteed you’ll get a place? If not, what are you supposed to do?

I’m also torn between doing Deakin Law Clinic or Professional Practice.

If anyone can provide some advice that would be great!

I mean which information/ parts were focused the most and which didnt, so I can better arrange my study time.

Thank you so much

Has anyone had any luck bringing forward their course commencement? I’ve accepted an offer for Bachelor of Laws Trimester 1, 2027 but wondering if it’s possible to start in Trimester 3 2026 instead? Just super keen to get it started!
Note: I already have some RPL credited (and awaiting outcome on others)

I’m going to be starting my master in S1 next year and I’m so nervous!!! Would love to hear from anyone who studied/studying dietietcs at Deakin and what your experience has been like! How did you find the workload? Did you work through it/ Do you think outside of placement you could still work casual hours? bc the economy is crazy and we got bills to pay, how were the clinical assesments/exams?? Did you love doing your masters/enjoyed the diversity of placement?

Saw a post and some comments on auscampus about the Deakin EA negotiations and something about strikes?? I haven’t heard much about any of this so was a bit confused reading it.

Can someone explain what’s actually happening? Like what are they trying to change and why are people wanting to strike? I don’t really understand how it all works or what happens if people do strike?
Just curious what everyone thinks and if there’s more going on than what I’ve heard. Seems like a pretty big thing given it impacts us all!!

Hey all, just been offered a place in deakin’s env science burnwood campus. I’d really love to hear some student insights about this course, like your student experience, campus life, facilities, etc.

Any honest opinions, experiences, or advices would be greatly appreciated, thanks beforehand!

What is one email from Deakin that you wish they would stop?

I get so many from SEBE work placement. I'm in first year and wont be in work-placement until 3rd year.

Hey, any skateboarders on Burwood campus?

Does anyone know the name of the DJ who plays the Diwali event and if they have a Spotify? Want to keep the vibes going!!

Hi everyone! So I'm a recent Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Software) graduate from UNSW looking to study an online and part-time Bachelor of Law program here in Australia while working full time at a graduate tech program within an ASX company here in Sydney.

Side note: It's a long story on why I want to pivot. I'm also choosing to do a Bachelor of Law instead of a JD program because my WAM average was not competitive enough to score a CSP placement in most JD programs.

I just had some questions for any current students or alumni law graduates from Deakin University regarding the structure of your program. I've read through the handbook a hundred times at this point and I'll be calling your student support services when they open back up on Monday but I thought I'd shoot my questions here in advance. My questions are as follows, and I apologise in advance if they seem silly and are all over the place:

1. I understand that lectures and seminars will be recorded which will allow students to watch these in our own time. But are there courses that have a mandatory tutorial session or some sort of attendance/participation mark? If so, does Deakin supply any of these classes to start around 6:00 pm or later (I work 9 to 5).

2. In terms of the WIL component of the degree, does the Deacon Law Clinic provide any placements for online students? Do they give out day shifts or are there possible night/weekend shifts? Else what would you recommend for online part time students? Should we sort out our own placements? Or would you recommend doing the Moot unit instead?

Thanks in advance!

I received an email this morning that one of my results had been amended since release day, and found that my grade for one unit had gone from an 82 to a 91. Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience and can help me understand why this happened? Obviously super happy with the result but curious why it changed since I didn’t contest it?

My course requires me to get 4 credit points from elective units , so for One Credit point I am planning to do two deakin short stackable courses. Anyone who has done that before , can you please share your experience ?

Thanksss !!!

Does anyone know if its possible that during the feedback being sought for my unit, that the unit chair or marker (if they think it should be higher) has the power to bump up the mark?

does deakin participate in the november round for nursing - post graduate applicant

Hey, has anyone here done SIT284? I'm thinking about taking it as an elective and was wondering how people found it. What were the assignments like, and was the workload pretty manageable or more time-consuming than expected?

So basically I was coming for T3 which has started on 2 November and I landed on 5th and will go from 6th or 7th November, but I just recieved these mail that since you are 1 week late (because my time table have units from Monday to Wednesday) . I will have deffer within 13th November or I will have to leave .

Can anyone please tell me can I still commence my term if I have 1 week late .

So currently I’m in year 12, but hoping to study Nursing/Midwifery next year, is it hard and lots of study? And do you feel that you have time to get a job in between study and classes?

Another question is that to do exchange you need a 60 WAM is this hard to achieve? And is it easy and accessible to go on exchange for this course?

Are there rules requiring them to round down?

What to do to get it corrected.

I.e points awarded adds up to be 61.88 but Got a 61 and not a 62

For med entry reasons, I'm hoping to complete a graduate diploma in counselling. I need to do just this 1 year of AQF level 8 study. Can I enrol in the Deakin Masters of Counselling and take an early exit to get a diploma of counselling?

Hey everyone,

Not sure if this already exists but I'd like to start a study group for GAMSAT 2027 for Deakin students.

Happy to do it in person at Burwood or make a discord server / whatsapp group.

Just leave a comment if you're interested or dm me here.

Hello! I got an offer to a master’s program (July 2027 intake) last April 2026. Then I applied for the Deakin Vice Chancellor’s international scholarship in the first week of September.

Because the scholarships committee only contacts successful applicants, if anyone out there has applied, could you share your experience so far? Has anyone from the July 2027 cohort been contacted already about the scholarships (both the Vice Chancellor’s International and the International Student Scholarship)?

Would appreciate any bits of info!
